Burger King introduced the Whopper in 1957. The flame-grilled sandwich has since become one of the brand’s most recognizable menu items around the world.
While many think the Whopper was created to compete in the ‘Burger Wars’ against products like McDonald's Big Mac, that is not true! Burger King actually started selling the Whopper in 1957 — 11 years before McDonald's introduced the Big Mac in 1968.
The original price of the Whopper was just 37 cents.
There are over 200,000 ways to order a classic Whopper, so guests truly can have it their way!
As an April Fool's Day prank in 1998, BK US took out a full-page ad in USA Today to advertise the Left-Handed Whopper — the same as a regular Whopper, but exclusively for left-handed guests.
American Idol alum and award-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson used to make Whopper sandwiches when she worked her first job at BK — she would even sing while working at the drive-thru!
To celebrate the marriage of Joel Burger and Ashley King, BK helped make sure it was a royal event by paying for the event and gifting BK-branded swag.
Burger King restaurants have used the name Whopper Wi-Fi for their guest wireless network.
In 2018, you could go to McDonald's to order a Whopper for 1 cent as part of the ‘Whopper Detour’ BK campaign.
