On Tuesday, July 14th, Mason Ramsey sings till the cows come home after enjoying their eco-friendly lemongrass diet in the latest Burger King commercial.
The 13-year-old yodeler goes on about the fast-food franchise’s latest experiment to find a diet for “reducing meth-aa-aa-aane, meth-aa-aa-aane,” Ramsey sings in the impromptu chorus, when cows pass gas. Colorfully dressed young cowboys and cowgirls produce the solution with their lemongrass hats that feed the mechanic cows and “reduce emissions by more than a third” in the two-minute clip.
According to the commercial, Whopper sandwiches with reduced methane emissions beef will be sold at select U.S. restaurants in Los Angeles, Portland, Austin, Miami and New York City.
Ramsey sings while exiting out of a cow’s rear in a rhinestoned white suit and ascending into outer space. But no one’s laughing in their matching rhinestoned gas masks to exemplify the dangers of cow-based greenhouse gas emissions: “When cows fart and burp and splatter/ well it ain’t no laughing matter/ They’re releasing methane every time they do/ And then methane from their rear goes up through the atmosphere/ And pollutes our planet, warming me and you.”
