In the 30-second commercial, Liu and Bow question, “Is bacon the best thing to happen to McDonald’s Classics?” or “Are McDonald’s Classics the best thing to happen to bacon?”

Apparently, the ad is inspired by Liu and Bow’s parody of BTS’s “Fake Love,” titled “Bacon Love,” in 201 .
 
Bow also posted a pun video on Instagram to promote the limited offer.
According to a press release, the new commercial builds up on recent Asian American success in the entertainment industry and demonstrates McDonald’s commitment to diversity.
