Basic description of the project:
To find out how much America loved the Whopper, we offered a simple challenge: Sacrifice (delete) ten of your Facebook friends, and Burger King will reward your loyalty with a free Whopper. There was one twist; each friend you deleted would be notified of your actions, meaning your sacrifice was a public statement that you chose the Whopper over friendship. In no time at all, thousands had accepted our challenge and cleaned out their friends list. Ten days, 80,000 users, and 233,906 sacrificed friends after launch, Facebook became uncomfortable with the number of severed friendships and ended the campaign.
