Cultural / Context information for the jury

Every fast food brand showcases their burgers the same way: juicy, beautiful, and over-produced photographs. As a result, it can be hard to believe that the food in those photos are real. With this as background Burger King broke the mold with something unpredictable: mold. It might’ve gone against every convention, but it showed that mold could be a beautiful thing too.
