About
As of 2026, it's 69 years old.
The Whopper is Burger King's flame-grilled flagship and the entire reason the brand has a personality. Bigger and char-grilled to stand apart from the competition since 1957, it came bundled with the slogan 'Have It Your Way,' which empowered a generation to confidently order a burger with very specific demands.
It's the chain's main weapon in its forever-war with McDonald's, the burger built on the promise that you, personally, are in charge of the pickles.
Flame-grilled, customizable, and proudly the other guy, the Whopper is fast food's most enduring 'hold the onions' machine.
