whopper
Lucky New Year burger comes with a questionable “Big Inside” bag that looks like something is being inserted…
“Get ready for the arrival of a new era of big burgers,” the slogan promises, but does it deliver?
Prayers of temple monks imbue this Spicy Yakuyoke Whopper with all the protection you’ll need for the New Year.
Our burger expert becomes a fan of veggie patties, and nobody is more shocked about it than him.
The best thing about Burger King’s home delivery? You get to decide how much avocado is too much avocado.
In Japan, Burger King doesn’t just give us the Whopper recipe, it gives us the ingredients to make it too!
We continue our tradition of pushing the limits of our local Burger King staff’s kindness by ordering a double Whopper topped with around 80 bucks worth of pickles.
