So, forthisvideo, I'm goingtotrytotellthestoryofBurgerKingwhilehighlightingtennotableexamplesfromovertheyearswheretheyattemptedtogaingroundonMcDonald's byeitherfollowingtheirleadorevenbypubliclyattackingthem, startingattheverybeginningin 1953 withMcDonald's being a foundinginfluence.
I havetopointoutthatthiswasbeforeRayKrocwhenMcDonald's wasstillcompletelyunknownoutsideofSouthernCalifornia, sothefactthattheywerealreadyinfluencing a newrestaurantopeningontheothersideofthecountryinFlorida, I thinkisprettyamazing.
レイ・クロック以前、マクドナルドが南カリフォルニア以外ではまだまったく無名だったころのことである。
Evenatthisearlystage, BurgerKingwasfollowingtheleadofMcDonald's, orshould I say, InstaBurgerKing, whichdidgrowinto a chainandevenintroducedtheiconicWhopperbeforeexperiencingfinancialdifficultiesin 1959.
Well, in 1959, theywereabletotakeadvantageofthecompany's poorconditionandbuyitfromthoseoriginalfounders, andfromthatpoint, startedmaking a bunchofpositivechanges.

I haveothervideosaboutitifyouwantmoredetails, butbacktomylist.
もっと詳しく知りたければ、他のビデオも持っているが、私のリストに戻ろう。
Gettingawayfromfranchisingfor a minute, in 1974, BurgerKingintroduced, HaveItYourWay, a famousMcDonald's campaignthatwasintroducedearlierinthatsameyear.
フランチャイズから少し離れると、1974年、バーガーキングは、同年初めに導入されたマクドナルドの有名なキャンペーンである「Have It Your Way」を導入した。
Youprobablyknowit, itwas a jingleabouttheingredientsontheirBigMac, twoallbeefpatties, specialsauce, thatwholething.
Itwasdiscontinuedafterlessthan a decade, I believebecauseofthenegativeimpactthatcontainerwashavingontheenvironment, butthisonedoesstandoutasbeingoneofthefewtimesMcDonald's wasrespondingtoBurgerKing.
But I stillhaveitonthislist, becauseBurgerKingaddresseditwithcommercialsdirectlytalkingaboutMcDonald's andtheirMcDLT, attemptingtoconvincetheviewerthattheWhopperissuperior.
Whenitwasintroduced, again, thecommercialsdirectlymentionedMcDonald's, attemptingtoconvincetheviewerthattheBigKingissuperiorbypointingouthowit's like a andhas 75% morebeef.
Andthen, togoalongwiththis, anothermajormenuchangejust a fewmonthslaterwaswhentheyintroducedtheirnewfries.
さらにその数ヵ月後には、新しいフライドポテトが登場した。
I guesstheystartedtreatingthemwithpotatostarch, andthatsomehowforms a crispycoating, I don't knowhowitworks, buttheyintroducedthemwith a big 70 milliondollaradvertisingcampaignthatincludedthecostoflicensingMr. PotatoHead, thatwasmostlycenteredaroundhowthenewfrieswerebetterthanthefriesatMcDonald's.
ポテトスターチで処理するようになったのだろう。それがどういうわけか、サクサクの皮膜を形成している。
ThecrispynewBurgerKingfriesbeatMcDonald's friesin a nationwidetastetest.
Theywantedtoteamuptoopen a restaurantforonedayinAtlanta, whichisbetweenthetwocompanies' headquarters, andsell a burgerthatwas a mixtureoftheBigMacandtheWhopper.
Itwouldhavebeenforcharity, theywantedittobeaninternationaldayofpeace, seeminglyas a gestureofgoodfaith, endingthisfeudbetweenthem.
それはチャリティのためであり、彼らは国際平和デーにしたかったのだろう。
Probablyagainmoreof a gimmickthananything, butnoneofitmattersanyway, becauseMcDonald's wasn't interested, noneofiteverhappened, so I supposetherivalrycontinues.
