Hardee’s UAE Has Hilariously Used All The Viral #Banana Attention For Slick Marketing Purposes

You’ve probably heard of the banana story, you know, the one that’s reportedly sold for US$120,000 at Art Basel in Miami.

The story has been told and retold time and time again in a span of two days, it seems, creating a debate on whether or not a banana duct-taped to a wall is worth this much money or if it can even be considered- as art.

But leave it to UAE’s marketing geniuses to take on this opportunity and use it for good. Hardee’s UAE released their version of the banana on the wall, with a burger duct-taped to a wall, to promote the offer of their burger prices.

Hilarious….and smart.
