Poll to come.
Basically, would you like a Burger King Whopper if I offered to buy you one?
There’s only one “Yes”, but there are many, many different kinds of “No” answers, so if your answer is a “No”, why not? Hopefully, I’ve included it in the poll options.

No, thanx. Burger King always makes me physically sick to my stomach; more so than the other burger joints.

No. Too many calories.

I like the taste of Burger King Whoppers, so I would eat a free one. I’m sometimes uneasy about getting freebies from random dudes, however; I don’t know if something is expected of me in return (either explicitly or implicitly).

No. Don’t eat fast food chain food.

Bacon and cheese double Whopper, please.

Sure. I’ll take one just the way it comes. And large fries and a Coke Zero, please.

Just like with McD’s, I’d never go to or buy one for myself. But if there is a free one being offered, I’ll eat it.

I make it a general rule to not turn down free food. A Whopper is not exactly haute cuisine, but it’s certainly worth the price.

Sure. It’s rare that I go to a Burger King (or Hungry Jack’s as it is known in Australia), but I’m happy to eat one if it is on offer. A whopper wouldn’t be my burger of choice though, I prefer a bacon deluxe.

I get myself one every two weeks or so. I can always use a free one! 🙂
Wait do I have to go to Arizona to get it? If so then…no.

Thanks much! I’m more of a McDonald’s kind of a guy but Whoppers are good too.
No mayonnaise, though, it being the devil’s tool and all.

I’ll eat it, and gladly. Thank you!
You can even go berserk with the toppings: there isn’t a topping in the restaurant that I dislike. Pickles, onions, add mayo, add jalapenos, ketchup, onions, you name it. I’m so hungry right now, I could eat two!

I’d rather you bought me a Whopper Jr.
A Whopper is too much, and I hate to throw food away.
Order it as it comes, I’ll take the pickle off.
You can add a coke to the order too if you want, but I don’t want their nasty fries.

I wouldn’t…by the time I special ordered it down, it wouldn’t be a Whopper any more.
Mayo on burgers is vile, I react badly to onions and don’t like pickles, and lettuce and tomato go in a salad on the side.

I answered “No, because…of a reason you didn’t list here” because I am a vegetarian. I didn’t think the “I don’t like to eat meat” option was accurate; it’s not that I don’t like meat, I don’t eat it at all.

Same here, please. I love a Whopper Jr. more than a larger Whopper, one and a half Whopper Jrs. are just right. Maybe a small onion rings on the side.

Sure. It’s my least favorite fast food burger but, hey, it’s free. If i were allowed to change it to a Whopperito, then it’s a hell yeah. I actually love that monstrosity.
