&ldquo;Burger King casually introduced a new corporate spokesperson who&rsquo;s been dead for more than three decades,&rdquo; according to an article in <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2019/02/andy-warhol-burger-king-super-bowl-ad-jorgen-leth-66-scenes-from-america.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=andy-warhol-eats-a-whopper-in-burger-kings-super-bowl-spot-2709080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Slate</a>. The spokesperson? Iconic pop artist Andy Warhol. 

Of the commercial, the Slate article said: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s actual footage of Andy Warhol unwrapping and eating a Burger King hamburger. If you were hoping Burger King would also release a four-and-a-half-minute cut in which Warhol eats the entire burger, including a part where he makes the questionable decision to remove the lower bun, roll the remaining burger up like a taco, and dip it in ketchup, today is your lucky day.&rdquo;

In the hopes that life will imitate art, the fast-casual burger chain paired the ad with the hashtag #eatlikeandy. 

According to the article, the footage &ldquo;was shot in 1982 by Danish documentarian J&oslash;rgen Leth for his film &lsquo;66 Scenes From America.&rsquo;&rdquo;
