- For the chocolate-coated malted milk candy, see Whoppers.
The Whopper is the flagship menu item of international fast food chain Burger King. The product is a hamburger, consisting of a quarter-pound fire-grilled beef patty, sesame seed bun, lettuce, sliced onion and tomato, ketchup, mayonnaise, and pickles. Cheese and bacon may be added, and Double Whopper, Triple Whopper, and Whopper Jr. varieties are also available. Different varieties have appeared throughout the years for a limited time.
The Whopper was created in 1957 by Burger King founders James McLamore and David Edgerton and sold for 37 cents; nowadays, the cost of a Whopper (in the USA) ranges from 99 cents (during promotions) to 2.49 USD and higher, depending on restaurant pricing. Burger King sells about 1.7 billion Whoppers each year.
