About the Whopper

The Whopper is Burger King’s signature burger, the item the chain is best known for. The classic Whopper is a beef patty topped with tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, onions, mayonnaise, and ketchup, served on a sesame seed bun.

Burger King also sells other sizes built on the same recipe: the Double Whopper with two patties, a Triple Whopper with three, and the smaller Whopper Jr. Each version uses the same core toppings, just scaled up or down.

    Stopped at bk in leaving ton, Ontario Canada and had a coupon for a free whopper when one is purchased. To our surprise this single whopper was $5.87 incl. tax. Isn’t tht a lot of money for one burg. Wow I told the girl that I had a coupon for a free one. She said that is the price for one. Well you won’t see. Us there again. Holly cow we only c ollect a small pension so this would be way too much. Thank god we had a coupon.

    1. josefina ramirez says:

      It happen to me too, with a coupon a single whooper cost me 4.89 + tax .In Las Vegas , Nevada on Lake Mead and Jones Boulevard .Which is too much for a single burger .

  2. Sally Fields says:

    Whoppers are great, but only on a rare occasion. Stick w/a single Whopper Jr. and if you still have room, order another. Whoppers, Wendy’s Doubles, and Big Macs are too heavy and slow a person down. I do a Big Mac annually on my B-day with my daughter – on her day we do an Elias Bros. Big Boy!!

  3. Live in Toronto, Ontario, and up until today, we have been buying the Whopper for $1.99 + tax every Wednesday.

    The price to our “surprise” went up by $0.20 (it is called inflation I figure), so even @ the $2.20 + taxes, it is an amazing deal.

    And I say amazing because quite frankly, even though the McDonalds restaurant looks nicer, their pictures and the Big Mac look better, I have to say that the Whopper tastes better; it tastes like a real burger; it fills you up.
    Of course it is subjective to talk about flavours, but if you haven’t tried a Whopper because the BK restaurants looks “crappy” in comparison with the McD, you ought to do yourself a favour and not judge this book by its cover.
    Trust me….

    1. $0.21 cents increase + taxes that is…..

    2. Silvana Ranalli says:

      The prices in Italy are higher!I had a whopper,small fries & small coke .One slice of cheese was .40 cents &bacon also .40 cents more (euro’s)I paid 6,30!

  4. I personally can.t stand the McDonalds big mac!!!
    It is over priced and tasted aweful.

    I love the BurgerKing Whopper that is NOT fried-it is bar-b-qued ,with lots flavor.
    I am a salad person, so the whopper is my treat!!!

  5. donald ward says:

    take a pause people………….
    instead of having a luke warm paper wrapped grease ball of a meal…….
    go down town and sit down to a good simple family meal prepared by a good chef in your local café….it will cost you less and will definitely taste a lot better. the fast food kids who prepare your burgers are not really up to snuff on food preparation….your gambling on food poisoning and your paying a horrible price for that grease ball…..these little burgers used to be a great deal for a quick meal…….but now they are priced out of the park, and they are no longer a good deal…..

  6. Jenise Brown says:

    I have a whopper before I go sleep every night and just love another whopper first thing in the morning – love the taste, the size really is dam good. I’m a whopper girl and can’t get enough of whoppers. Any girl know what I’m talking about?

  7. I love the whopper jr. Personally the big whopper is just too much to eat. I hate the bigmac buuttt I do love mac sauce.lol
