I went to Burger King at 8am while my van’s tire was being fixed. I found, much to my surprise, that their full breakfast menu also included Whoppers. Egg, biscuits, hash browns, and Whoppers. Party on, Burger King, party on.
@vanslaterco I wasn’t even into Pokemon (I know, I know “you were a weird kid”, I always get that) but that toy selection is pretty tight for a fast food place! I probably would have lost my mind as a kid trying to collect those.
Should I be happy or sad that I’ve never heard of this and don’t know what it is? I also don’t care enough (read: lazy) to google it because I couldn’t tell you the last time I had the money to eat in even a fast food restaurant. Meh gets all my money.
@nogoodwithnames They didn’t say the meat is 100% beef; just that the beef in the meat is completely beef. There is more than likely a few other things in with that beef. The animal they got the beef from was 100% bovine, so therefor they aren’t lying. Now, if they would have said, “our meat is 100% beef,” and been completely honest, that would be impressive.
I’m starting to wonder if there is a company called ‘100% Beef,’ in which case, there is no telling what is in it.
I had never heard of this so I looked it up. I’m not sure I can properly express just how disgusting it sounds. Also, if you want a burger, eat a burger. If you want a burrito, eat a fucking burrito.
@AnnaB and for those who wanted a burger-flavored burrito? If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. Also, wait a couple weeks, and it will be gone. Problem solved.
BK should really make a Whopcannoli. Just purée a Whopper in a Blendtec blender, put the resulting goop into a pastry bag and squirt it into a cannoli shell. Do that, BK, and you’ve got yourself a new customer!
I got a card in the mail the other day. I thought it looked appetizing, the way all junk food looks appetizing. That was the last I thought about it until now.
Also, I had the impression Burger King went bankrupt, or somehow went out of business.
@awk BK not bankrupt or out-of-business. Bought a Canadian company (Tim Horton’s), merged, and re-incorporated as a Canadian holding company (or something).

I don’t watch “tv” so I never know of such new inventions. I just found out that Burger King is selling hot dogs now? Did you guys know about that? I am more for weird local mashups. I had a Persian Burrito when I was in Woodland Hills, CA once. It was ok. I always get a hot dog with cream cheese when I am in Seattle. Also, I don’t own a microwave. I feel like you need to own one to purchase national chain fast food.
@jmendenhall For some reason, I frequently receive books of Burger King coupons in the mail. They’re just addressed to “current resident,” but my last apartment a few minutes away didn’t give me that honor. They alerted me to Burger King hot dogs. I mean… sure, knock yourselves out, guys.
I actually used one of the coupons to try some chicken nuggets, since Wendy’s chicken nuggets are a guilty pleasure of mine. Holy shit, they were terrible. I ate one and threw the rest out, which goes against my very nature.
@currawong BK runs a special here: 10 chicken nuggets for $1.49. I told 'em they’d have to pay at least twice that if they expected me to eat them. More like ten bucks if I actually had to keep them down.
/giphy Gag reflex
@jmendenhall I actually don’t know why more places don’t sell both. Hot dogs and burgers go hand in hand.
Also, Snoop Dogg helped promote (and train employees) the hot dogs when they first came out.
Last time I ate at burger king, it was right as breakfast was ending, so you could get breakfast or lunch items.
Nothing quite as disgusting as onion rings that tasted like cinnamon because they obviously used the same fryer as whatever cinnamon breakfast thing they were selling at the time.
Seems nobody remembers the mac snack wrap. The taco bell waffle taco was scandalous too for no reason at all, everyone’s ok with the stuff separately on a single plate already but god help us if they’re directly on top of each other instead of a quarter inch away
If they’d just replaced the Whopper bun with a tortilla, and broken the patties up, it’d have been a tasty diversion. But they somehow took out everything that tastes good about a Whopper and replaced it with an anodyne “hot” sauce. Boo.
The last time I went to BK, I got a Mushroom and Swiss, thinking no one has ever screwed up a Mushroom and Swiss, so it has to be at least edible; was I ever wrong. That was the most disgusting thing I ever tasted. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU SCREW UP A MUSHROOM AND SWISS?!?
@ELUNO This was the last time I ate at BK, 5+ years ago (before that it was several years). The people I was with were going there and I was hungry, so I figured I would give them another chance. Even their fries were gross.

Was not aware Burger King was still in business.
@MehnofLaMehncha They shouldn’t be.
@TheCO2 Those Pokemon toys in the late 90s or early 00s put them in the black until 2077.

Whopperrito is pretty tasty, actually.

@PurplePawprints Cheers!
@ruouttaurmind Thanks!
/giphy Nope nope NOPE!
@ruouttaurmind Nice cheesejaculate.
@ruouttaurmind Huh, so all those green n’ yellow n’ red bits are beef? I may have to check this out.
@PurplePawprints If you’re ever in SE Georgia, I’ll treat you to a Whopperito. And a speaker dock!

It’s all about the wording.
@TheCO2 don’t get me started about what’s actually in “wyngs.”
I’d try it if Burger King didn’t taste like ass.

I just need to know if they sell Whopperritos in the rampant multitudes of taco trucks?
@KDemo LOL. Wait, wait… taco trucks on every corner is supposed to sound like a bad idea??
@PocketBrain - I guess that depends on the answer to the Whopperrito question.
I had never heard of this so I looked it up. I’m not sure I can properly express just how disgusting it sounds. Also, if you want a burger, eat a burger. If you want a burrito, eat a fucking burrito.

@simplersimon Fair enough.

@rv617 I have a Blendtec. Bring the whoppers and cannoli shells.
Woo hoo! Party at @PocketBrain’s house everyone!!!
@rv617 oh Gawd, now i have to clean up.
So that is where the McDonalds’ wraps went…
I don’t eat Burger King or McDonald’s. YUCK!
@TheCO2 Congratulations. You are a special boy.
@ELUNO I know this. All my participation ribbons tell me so.

@awk Still in business; I pass by their headquarters almost daily, wondering if there’s a BK in the lobby or something
@Twiminy I went to interview to Beam Suntory, and they did in fact have a bar by their lobby.
I had one. It was fine, but boy was it brown. The picture shows shades of red, green, and yellow, but it was just a mess of different shades of brown.
Also it definitely needed hot sauce or something.
@Moose shoulda posted it here.

@jmendenhall Have you ever, one late night, tossed and turned in a fitful slumber, only to suddenly wake with a start and yell “the book was better?”
Just to clarify, i have no problem eating the hot dogs and hamburgers from my corner 7/11. I am a sucker for free cheese and chili.
Last time I ate at burger king, it was right as breakfast was ending, so you could get breakfast or lunch items.

@RiotDemon That’s just the wild taste of BK’s exciting new Cinnamonion Rings!
@awk
/giphy applause
asked about it both times i recently went to burger king. both employees said it wasn’t good.
I haven’t tried it, but I’ve had hamburgers in a burrito many times. I don’t get what the big deal is, or why some people are so upset about it.
I had it. It was an abomination.
/giphy mistake
I like the idea, but don’t like Burger King. I think my dog would be down without onions, of course.
Seems nobody remembers the mac snack wrap. The taco bell waffle taco was scandalous too for no reason at all, everyone’s ok with the stuff separately on a single plate already but god help us if they’re directly on top of each other instead of a quarter inch away
@Twiminy well, yeah, because then you’re eating them in the same bite/mouthful so it’s important for the flavors to meld nicely.
They used to (still do?) sell whooper tacos as well.
Missed the option, WTF is a Wopperito?! Had never heard of this before now.
If they’d just replaced the Whopper bun with a tortilla, and broken the patties up, it’d have been a tasty diversion. But they somehow took out everything that tastes good about a Whopper and replaced it with an anodyne “hot” sauce. Boo.
@mci that’s exactly why I’m not interested in trying it.
The last time I went to BK, I got a Mushroom and Swiss, thinking no one has ever screwed up a Mushroom and Swiss, so it has to be at least edible; was I ever wrong. That was the most disgusting thing I ever tasted. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU SCREW UP A MUSHROOM AND SWISS?!?
@TheCO2 So do you or don’t you eat at BK and McD? Make up your mind.
@ELUNO This was the last time I ate at BK, 5+ years ago (before that it was several years). The people I was with were going there and I was hungry, so I figured I would give them another chance. Even their fries were gross.
