Art students find inspiration in White Castle

If there’s one group you can ridicule with impunity, it’s art-school students. Here’s an amusing commercial for White Castle in which a pair of competitive art majors show off the fruits of their labor: giant replicas of a White Castle spatula and a Slyder container. Some day one of them may attempt a huge Crave Case installation. The ad points to TrueCastleStories.com, but it’s unclear if these guys really did make these props or what. In other White Castle news, the burger joint recently crowned its 2007 fastest griddler: Susan Childress of Louisville, Ky., who was the quickest to prepare and package 30 White Castle hamburgers at an event in Ohio. She won last year, too. She earns $700, a plaque and certificate and “bragging rights.”
