Fast food wars are heating up again and Burger King is stepping up to the plate with some fresh menu updates. They are making more changes to their famous Whopper and adding some summer treats that have people talking. Let us look at what they are changing and how it compares to the competition.
The New Loaded Jalapeno Whopper
Burger King just dropped a brand new version of their classic sandwich called the loaded jalapeno Whopper for anyone who likes a little spicy kick in their food. This new burger comes packed with both crispy and pickled jalapenos along with a creamy jalapeno sauce and American cheese on top of the usual lettuce and tomatoes.
Taking Shots at Wendy’s Menu
Fans on the internet immediately noticed that this new spicy burger looks like a direct challenge to the jalapeno ranch cheeseburger that Wendy’s brought back recently. Some people on Reddit are already saying the Burger King version actually tastes way better because of the special jalapeno sauce instead of just using regular ranch dressing.
A Sweet Orange Creamsicle Drink
Burger King is not just stopping at spicy burgers because they also added a brand new frozen orange creamsicle style drink to cool you down this summer. This frozen treat comes topped with a really nice orange cream cold foam and some sprinkles which makes it a perfect match if your mouth is burning from those jalapenos.
The Firecracker Cookie Pie Dessert
They also decided to celebrate the summer season by releasing a special Firecracker Cookie Pie that looks pretty fun for a fast food dessert. It comes covered in little red white and blue star shaped sprinkles so you can get a sweet patriotic sugar rush after finishing your massive burger.
Created by the Fans Themselves
This whole spicy creation is actually part of their Whopper by You promotion where regular customers get to build custom sandwiches and vote on them to hit the menu. They did something similar back in January with a crazy steakhouse version so it is pretty cool to see them actually listening to what people want to eat.
Upgraded Buns and Better Packaging
Burger King recently decided to give the classic Whopper a little makeover by serving it in a sturdy cardboard box instead of just wrapping it in thin paper. They also upgraded the bread to a more premium bun and they are using a much better tasting mayonnaise to make the whole thing feel a bit more fancy.
The President Needed a Napkin
The president of Burger King even posted a funny video of himself taking a massive bite of the improved burger to show off all the fresh ingredients. He joked that the only thing missing from the meal was a napkin because all those new fresh tomatoes and upgraded sauces make it super messy to eat.
New Tech for Restaurant Workers
The craziest part of all these updates is that Burger King is actually testing out new artificial intelligence headsets for their staff to improve how they serve food. This technology apparently tracks if the workers are saying please and thank you to the guests so they are really trying hard to make the whole experience better for everyone.
