good I get sweaty when I eat an accidental Whopper and a left-handed Whopper no this isn't the start
of a joke we're looking at 10 shocking facts about the Burger King Whopper you never knew
I didn't know that was a BBC 12. Whopper Whopper commercial hamburger here this is a Burger King
advertising is a franchise's best friend after all how else is a chain able to spread the word about
its products with that said it's not always easy to grab the attention of those would-be
customers that's where catchy commercials come to the rescue and Burger King definitely had one in
2022. the Whopper Whopper commercial went viral spreading on social media and taking a life of
its own with fans of the song creating alternate versions and remixes to the delight and dismay of
the public of course the song isn't without its share of very vocal critics during the 2023 NFL
playoffs some fans weren't exactly happy hearing the song during ad breaks this caused Burger King
to issue a statement to the world that they would not play the ad during the Super Bowl however the
burger chain released the song on Spotify for those who wish to sing along with the famous or
inFAMOUS Jingle the burger chain has also released a karaoke version of the Whopper Whopper jingle as
these things tend to do the ad has also become a popular internet meme so what's bigger than
the Whopper well the Whopper Whopper commercial may be a contender no way it's older than the
Big Mac I want an American cheeseburger the big back versus the Whopper so which one's better
the two big burger chains signature sandwiches have divided many fast food fans for years the
friendly rivalry is now decades old and while it may seem like Burger King's signature Burger was
created to topple the Big Mac the Whopper actually predates McDonald's Flagship Burger the Whopper
debuted in 1957 whereas the Big Mac was introduced in Pittsburgh in 1968. tell me everything from
the beginning the Whopper was created by and vk's co-founder Jim McLemore discovered that
a rival Burger chain was serving an extra large burger with much success and decided to create
his own McLemore called his Burger a Whopper so people would get an idea of the size of the
burger instantly another interesting fact about the Whopper is that it also happens to be the
first quarter pound burger of the two franchises pre-dating McDonald's other famous burger the
quarter pounder by 14 years oh how did you know she was the one a Whopper for breakfast Down in
Heaven a nice breakfast breakfast has become much more elaborate as the years have gone by gone are
the days of Simply cereal buttered toast and bacon and eggs breakfast has grown into a versatile meal
of course you can almost guarantee the big fast food chains will try all sorts of interesting ways
to make breakfast fun convenient and well fast so when some creative genius over at BK headquarters
said hey everyone what if we take the Whopper and turn it into the world's greatest breakfast
fist of course everybody cheered and the rest is history now we have no way of knowing if that
conversation actually took place but regardless in 2014 Burger King put their signature Burger on the
breakfast menu the experiment dubbed burgers at breakfast saw around 5 000 locations participated
in the Bold morning meal Venture however the burger chain didn't stop at just Whoppers they
also offered chicken sandwiches and fries on the breakfast menu because well why not Strangers
still BK has also offered their char-broiled burgers top of the fried egg such as The Farmhouse
burger and even the Whopper with egg however those particular Burgers seem to be absent from the
breakfast menu BK probably realized that people were more interested in ordering a croissan'wich
in the morning than starting their day with a Whopper loving these Whopper facts well be like
the cool kids and hit that subscribe button and never miss out thanks you're the best ridiculously
in love with you oops the Whopper Junior was an accident yes the Whopper is Iconic but that
hasn't stopped Burger King from occasionally experimenting with their signature burger from
the Whopper with a fried egg to other more let's say interesting varieties the Whopper has seen its
share of facelifts over the years one particular version that has managed to stick around is the
Whopper Junior yes the downsized version of the Whopper has been accepted by Whopper lovers as a
smaller alternative with the same signature taste while the Whopper Junior has become a familiar BK
menu item it might surprise you to find out that the creation of the burger was the result of a
happy accident am I right I am right the lover Junior FIRST debuted in 1963 when a man named
Luis Arenas Perez a BK franchisee opened his first store in Puerto Rico as The Story Goes the molds
needed to make the buns for the Whoppers hadn't been delivered on time so Perez used regular
sized hamburger buns replacing the large buns used for the Whopper has a smaller version of
its namesake the Whopper Junior was born it didn't take long for the mini Flagship Burger
to become a BK menu staple and Luis Perez was placed into the BK Hall of Fame for his efforts
the left-handed Whopper would you like me to tell you the little story of right hand left
hand it likely comes as no surprise to hear that left-handed people are pretty rare how rare well
about 10 percent of the population is Left-Handed suffice it to say the world tends to cater to
those who were born right hand dominant however there are companies that make sure lefties are
not forgotten there are numerous products made exclusively for left-handers such as scissors
guitars and burgers yes burgers more specifically the left-handed Whopper the good folks over at VK
have taken it upon themselves to make a Whopper for the Lefty right about now you're likely asking
how exactly can a burger be specifically made for a lefty well back in 1998 the burger chain decided
to rotate all the classic Whopper ingredients a complete 180 degrees to better suit their 1.4
million left-handed customers who seemingly were having trouble eating the regular right-handed
Whopper burger King even launched an ad in USA Today advertising their newest Whopper for lefties
now lefties all over the world would be able to eat their Whoppers without issues was this a joke
does it matter well don't ask questions lefties just enjoy the burger in all seriousness this was
actually an April Fool's joke a good one Burger King I tried to trick me Green Bay has its own
Whopper Green Bay yeah but you're from La Pace no booing in this studio as beautiful as the city of
Green Bay is to be honest it isn't exactly famous for much besides Wisconsin cheese and the Green
Bay Packers right however Green Bay is much more than the home of the iconic football team and the
aforementioned dairy products it also happens to have its very own version of the Whopper in
2018 Burger King launched the Green Bay Whopper it also helps people the specialty Whopper came
packed with all the standard ingredients but this one was packing a bit of extra cheese believe it
or not the Green Bay Whopper was a loaded with eight slices of American cheese this seems fitting
as Wisconsin is known as the dairy state but the massive amount of cheese is an overwhelming sight
the limited run Whopper was available at eight Wisconsin BK locations unfortunately for those who
love a little extra cheese on their Whopper the Run only lasted until the end of 2018. a Whopper
By Any Other Name be some other the Whopper is a fitting name for BK's signature Burger perfectly
summing up the mammoth size of the sandwich who could imagine the burger going by Any Other Name
unfortunately for a brief period the Whopper couldn't be called the Whopper this came about
as a result of the burger chain expanding into San Antonio Texas the problem was the name Whopper was
already being used by another local Burger chain called Whopper burger which held the rights to the
name in the area this prevented vk's expansion into San Antonio for a few years however VK did
eventually enter the Texas city but the chain was still unable to use the Whopper name BK was forced
to refer to their signature Burger as the deluxe the Whopper situation was finally resolved in 1983
after the owner of Whopper burger passed away and his widow sold the naming rights to BK's parent
company so Whopper loving San antonians could finally stop ordering the deluxe and proudly
ask for a Whopper you created a Whopper the black bun Halloween Whopper I appreciate you getting me
the costume oh you did this too most fast food restaurants often get into the spirit of the
holidays by offering limited time holiday themed items and most of the time those items are winners
most of the time in 2015 about a month before Halloween Burger King launched the Halloween
Whopper which sounds like a great idea imagine all the fun that could come out of a Halloween themed
Whopper the flagship Burger decked out with spooky ghost-shaped Patties or a Jack-o-Lantern bun would
have been a fun way to celebrate the ghoulish holiday good guess unfortunately Burger King
used none of those ideas instead deciding to dye the Whoppers bun black now besides the fact that
the color black doesn't exactly scream appetizing uh black licorice anyone the real problem came a
little later after eating the Halloween Whopper customers reported that the black bun left a
rather colorful surprise plays in the toilet bowl to put it mildly yes it seems the Halloween
Whopper was capable of causing quite the scare for those who ate it just not in the way the burger
chain had hoped back to the drawing board because this is not the scare Whopper fans were hoping for
the angry whopper or I'm gonna lose my freaking mind every so often your go-to favorite food
just doesn't cut it it's great and all but every now and then it needs a little extra something a
little pep a little Zing if you're a go-to treat of choice happens to be the Whopper then pep is
exactly what you got in the form of the Angry Whopper the enraged Burger debuted in 2009 and
was a welcomed addition to the growing Whopper family albeit for a limited time the hot tempered
version of the Whopper consisted of the standard charbroiled Patty topped with cheese bacon
jalapeno slices crispy onions lettuce tomatoes and Mayo however the addition of these signature angry
sauce is what gave the Whopper its spicy attitude the burger also featured hot sauce baked into
the bun for an extra fiery kick even though the Angry Whopper was quite popular there were a few
customers who thought this Whopper while delicious wasn't angry enough that's right there are a
select few customers out there who wanted the Angry Whopper to be hotter in any case The Angry
Whopper does make the occasional return to the BK menu for those who want to spice up their lives
so keep your eyes open for its possible return the horse meat Whopper the horse chooses them
as we've seen there are many versions of BK's most famous burger whether you love the Whopper junior
or can't get enough of the sour cream onion in cucumber California fresh Whopper there
seems to be a Whopper for everyone however the Bay's signature ingredients are always going to
be present in any Whopper you know them by now ketchup Mayo tomatoes lettuce onions optional
cheese and of course that juicy horse meat Patty uh what was that well in 2013 the burger chains UK
locations were forced to reveal that some of its Burgers contained horse meat A supplier in Ireland
was blamed for the mishap which then resulted in Burger King moving European production to
Germany and Italy for good measure after an independent DNA study conducted by the burger
chain found traces of horse meat at its supplier in Ireland it didn't take long for the plant to
shut down the Plant then underwent a deep cleaning followed by a change in management so if you've
ever said to someone I'm so hungry I could eat a horse have you lived in the UK and frequented BK
in 2013 you just may have I love this burger so delicious stay right here and tap or click
