The whopper jr was actually made by accident. When the first Burger King opened in Puerto Rico in 1963, they had no bread molding trays for the whoppers. The manager, Luis Arenas Perez, found smaller ones nearby and sold a smaller version of the sandwich. He is in the BK hall of fame for his creation

As far as big burgers go, best memory I have is of a place called "Ned's Restaurant" in Aynor South Carolina. My grandfather (also named Ned) took me there and said they had the biggest best hamburgers. The "Ned Burger" was massive, it was amazing. I haven't been there since 1996 and my Grandfather has long since passed, but it's a great burger memory with him.

I miss the Whopperito. I loved it because whether big mac or whopper, I always felt like I was getting too much "bread to beef" ratio and always end up either taking off the top bun or ripping half of it off. The tortilla was a nice compromise. Same when McD's did the "snack wrap" or whatever it was called Side note - Would be interesting to see the history of In N Out and how they basically started the drive thru and became a sort of cult obsession, or the history behind Carl's Jr and Hardee's

Funny you mention that, since a single white flour tortilla has more carbs than a burger bun split into two halves. You can ask them to just cook you a beef patty (or patties), they'll put it in a bowl with the toppings, and they'll often include a fork and packets for ketchup or mayo or both.

In my area the number of Burger King franchises has crashed. There are roughly two locations left: One is a well run store, with good service and accurate order taking. The other is a sort of narrow "shotgun" style location that is known to be slow and grossly understaffed even well before the pandemic. I kinda wonder if BK corporate keeps their franchises on a looser leash than say McDonald's or Wendy's hence the vast difference.

On top of being rude. The Wendy's in my area aren't the best either but I would say they are better than Burger King. It almost feels like the franchise owner or corporate just doesn't care at all

The Whopper is the best nationwide fast food sandwich in my world, though I cannot claim to have tried them all. However, it's only truly great if you add cheese. A fond memory is the long interval in the early 1990s when they offered a $.99US Whopper as a loss leader. I cashed in on that many, many times. That they got the model for the Whopper from Whataburger is a shocking revelation. Is this the same Whataburger that is popular to this day in New Mexico? With green chiles, that's a great, great sandwich. But I think you have to travel to New Mexico to get it. That's a 1000 mile trip for me, but I might make it soon now that I am reminded. Thanks for your reporting.

My first job as a kid was at BK. With the "Have it your way" slogan, there was a button on the cash register for just about everything. Back when I was younger and could eat 5000 calories a day without gaining weight, I used to order a Double Whopper +cheese, +bacon, no onions, heavy all, off the broiler, cut in half. After making that monstrosity, they wrap it up and cut it in half and wrap it again. That way you could eat a half at a time and manage to not end up with a big mess.

I never really cared for the Big Mac. When going to McDonald's I'd usually prefer the Quarter Pounder with cheese. But I do love the Whopper, and had a lot of them back when they were going for $1.00 back in the 90s. I never knew that we had WhatABurger to thank for inspiring the Whopper. Personally, I think the real secret of the Whopper isn't the flame-broiled burger, but the fact that they use both mayo and ketchup on it. Which is easy to emulate when making burgers at home, and home taste tests have proven it to me.

I know I’m not crazy but out of all the major US national food chains, I can certainly taste a difference between a 80’s/90s Whopper and today. Tough to describe but it tastes a little bit more “mealy” or bit mushier maybe. Used to be crustier. Sometimes if I have time and I’m in the store, I’ll tip the crew a few bucks and ask for a fresh burger off the grill. Most of the time they’ll gladly do it. Makes all the difference!

There is no comparison. The Big Mac is a joke. Who buys a burger to taste more bun? The Whopper comes close to what a burger used to be. Oh, about the lack of cheese, I want to taste the meat, not some artificial cheese stuff. So, it's the Whopper for me(the Whopper Jr actually, since at 81, I don't eat as much as I used to).

Man, I love a Whopper but don't discount the Burger King chicken nuggets. Those things are awesome! I can honestly say that we ACTUALLY HAVE gone to Burger King specifically for them in the past, particularly for the kids. In our area, not only are they the best tasting chicken nuggets from a fast food place, but they are the ONLY chicken nuggets that reheat well, even in a microwave!

The whole coupon/deals/app specials thing really makes BK seem like a discount, second rate place.
