Burger King upgrades the Whopper. USA TODAY Check out Mike Snider’s review.
Burger King has relaunched its iconic Whopper sandwich for the first time in 10 years with a new box, improved bun and mayonnaise.
Monday, May 4th is Star Wars Day, and Burger King has something for fans of the film series to indulge in.
The fast food chain announced on April 21 that it will be launching a new limited-time menu based on the upcoming movie Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The menu will be available at participating U.S. locations beginning May 4, while supplies last. Includes the following items:
- BBQ Bounty Whopper: A quarter flame-grilled beef patty is placed in a helmet-shaped carton, filled with melted Swiss cheese, crunchy pickle chips, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and wrapped in Bounty BBQ sauce.
- Grogu’s Blue Cookie Shake: A swirl of soft serve ice cream mixed with blue sugar cookie syrup and topped with Grog’s favorite snack, a blue cookie.
- Garlic chicken fries with grog: Crispy white meat chicken fries seasoned with parmesan and garlic are served in a grog-themed carton with garlic dipping sauce.
- Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots: Crispy tots stuffed with melted cheddar cheese, fries, and ranch seasoning, delivered in an empire-themed paper carton.
- 4 collectible cups: Customers can unlock exclusive cups when they purchase a Bounty Bundle (a special box containing all four menu items), a BBQ Bounty Whopper Combo, or a 12-piece Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries Combo.
“From our themed packaging to our bold, flavor-driven menu, this is our way of celebrating an iconic new movie with the iconic flame-grilled taste that only Burger King can offer,” Joel Jasinski, chief marketing officer for Burger King U.S. and Canada, said in a news release.
