Burger King announced the launch of its latest non-fungible token (NFT) campaign, ‘Keep It Real Meals‘ that will be auctioned on the NFT marketplace, Sweet. The campaign is organized in partnership with celebrities Nelly, Anitta, and LILHUDDY.

Burger King’s Keep It Real Meals NFT will facilitate unlocking digital collectibles through QR codes that will appear on approximately 6 million meal boxes. These digital collectibles can further direct the users towards unlocking several NFT rewards. Burger King is offering rewards such as 3D Burger King digital collectibles, Whopper sandwiches for a year, autographed goods, or even a “once in a lifetime call with one of the campaign’s celebrities,” stated Decrypt.

In the month of August, the NFT market saw the beer company, Budweiser change its Twitter display picture to a hand-drawn beer rocket NFT that it had purchased for 8 Ethereum, which amounted to approximately $26,000 at the time. Furthermore, the brand registered an Ethereum domain name, beer.eth, for 30 ETH, which was approximately $100,000 at the time.
