The campaign is funny and catchy, but, is it just me or the team really perceived the world as full of fakes? Or that any other fries out there are fake?

Fries are relatively a low involvement buy.

Because fast food brands like Mc Donlads and Burger King have raised the bar on people's expectations of satisfaction, smaller brands - like New York Fries - protect themselves by attacking their standards. Which can never escape the feel of a factory. Not fit to score on details such as ultimate taste.

Ever noticed how Mc D and BK only promote a hungry taste? Something they try to mask with themes like a Greek salad, Asian chicken burgers, Texas Whoppers, etc. all to express kitchen related preparation.

Hence the reason why such message above needs to be delivered clearly. Black and white. No arguments can fit between it.

FYI

Here in Holland/Europe Mc Donalds already started to change course. They have got a nationwide campaign running that explains the ingredients that go into their burger. How they pick the best pieces of meat and such. Again a effort to express kitchen related preparation but at a much deeper level.
