Burger King ad tries to get your Google Home to list the ingredients of a Whopper

Folks, we have a real whopper of a tale to pass along to you tonight. Do you remember the story we told you back in January about the television news anchor who accidentally activated personal assistant Alexa on quite a few Amazon Echo and Amazon Dot devices? To refresh your memory, the anchorman was talking about a 6-year old girl who ordered a $162 dollhouse and four-pounds of cookies through Alexa. When he mentioned that name and read the story, several Echo and Dot smart speakers each started the process of ordering a dollhouse and cookies.
Even Wikipedia trolls got into the act, changing the Burger King's Whopper page to include ingredients like "toe-nail clippings." Wikipedia has locked down the page which means that only authorized administrators can make changes to it.
Check out the ad by clicking on the video at the top of the story.
