Burger King Trolled Customers to Perfectly Explain Net Neutrality

Burger King created a "fast lane" for Whoppers in the
commercial, which allowed customers who paid more to get their
burger faster. Without the net neutrality rules that the
Federal Communications Commission repealed last year, internet
companies could charge customers more for faster access to
certain online content, just like the Whopper fast lane. They
could prioritize some content over others (chicken sandwiches
over Whoppers, for example) and throttle service on content
for some users (very, very slowly handing over the bag).
Look, I'm not one to gush over brands, and at the end of the
day Burger King's goal is to appeal to woke millennials so it
can sell more burgers. But it created a really useful PSA in
the process, which also points viewers to an online petition
where they can protest the change in the law. Oh, and in case
you missed it, there's even a dig at FCC Chair Ajit Pai at the
end.
