When was he created?
Burger King's mascot was created back in the 1960's and used as an animation for television advertisements.
The king would often be shown buying children food at a Burger King store and the ad would often end with the chain's slogan: "Burger King, where kids are king."
In the 2000's, however, the King was brought to life after the company hired Crispin Porter + Bogusky, to find a new brand image.
