McDonald’s Big and Tasty feat Kobe Bryant Commercial (2001)
When you’re the next big thing, everybody wants you. Even Kobe Bryant. Introducing McDonald’s next big thing. The Big and Tasty.
Travel back to the early 2000s with this awesome McDonald’s advertisement starring the late great Kobe Bryant. Filmed during his early peak with the Lakers, the commercial features Kobe enjoying the new Big N’ Tasty sandwich in the locker room while the narrator discusses what it means to be “the next big thing.” Watch this fun throwback ad promoting the juicy burger loaded with fresh toppings, proving that even a superstar needs a substantial meal after hitting the court.
The Big N’ Tasty was McDonald’s direct competitor to Burger King’s popular Whopper, featuring a quarter-pound beef patty and fresh ingredients. Although the sandwich has been retired from most US menus, it was briefly featured at the unique McDonald’s Delivers locations found in some urban areas in the early 2000s, often boasting slightly more upscale ingredients than the typical menu items.
