Burger King Chile's Instagram post, showing a burger blocking the Suez canal, gets mixed reception

One of Burger King’s social media accounts has sparked controversy again, this time for referencing the recent Suez canal crisis to promote burgers. The controversy comes only a few weeks after another one of the brand’s social media accounts was criticized for a tweet concerning an International Women’s Day promotion.

The Instagram account for Burger King Chile published a photo showing a Whopper blocking the Suez canal. The image is a clear reference to the recent obstruction of the canal by the Ever Given cargo ship, which became wedged in the canal on March 23 and blocked access entirely for nearly an entire week. Fox News previously reported that the incident may have disrupted billions of dollars of international trade.
