Burger King, which is known for its quirky social media feed, has come under fire once again for a post that looked to capitalize on current events.
The Instagram post came from Burger King Chile and showed an image of a Whopper stuck in the Suez Canal. The post was in reference to the Ever Given ship that was wedged in the canal for days, stopping the flowage of international cargo through the passage before it was freed Monday.
The blockage of the Suez by the ship is expected to cost billions in international trade disruption, Fox News reported. It is also anticipated to lead to shortages of products like instant coffee that were bottlenecked in the canal behind the ship and unable to get to their destinations for nearly a week.
