Absolutely yes, please! Double Whopper w/ extra cheese and onion rings w/ zesty sauce is my perfect definition of comfort food. Everything else at Burger King sucks, though. I tried a Whopperito once and nearly gagged. They also managed to screw up the $1.99 spicy chicken sandwich which baffles me. ---

Two of my teenage years were spent working partime at a BK. It’s twenty years later and I still get a craving every now and again for a personally fresh-made Whopper. Professional curtesy keeps me from requesting one from scratch, but if they’d let me go back there I’d happily make my own tonight. ---

Yes, please, I can take a break from my diet for free food and maybe a little conversation with a fellow Doper. ---

Yes, I’d take it. I haven’t had one in so long that I’m not really sure what they taste like. But I’ll give it a try (just don’t make me finish it to the last bite - I’m guessing it would be a lot more than I’d want unless I’d deliberately worked up an appetite beforehand). ---

Sure. When they do the Whopper properly, it’s not half-bad. Unfortunately, anything from BK (and I really only eat there on road trips 2-3x/year) is done badly, but they have Coke slushies so I grin and bear it. But a Whopper done right is not too far off from how I make a hamburger at home, so theoretically… ---

I haven’t had burger king in a while so one whopper wouldn’t hurt. Thanks for offering. ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > No, thanx. Burger King always makes me physically sick to my stomach; more so than the other burger joints. I second a less severe version of this. I always reret eating Burger King, especially the burgers, immediately afterwards. If you offered to buy me a whopper, I would remind you that there was a Taco Bell next door to Burger King, let’s go spend your money there! ---

In this poll do we know each other, or not? If not you need a choice that 'No - Ever since the incident when a stranger offered me candy as a child I no longer accept food from strangers. ’ On Edit, sure I would\*\* like\*\* one, that does not equate to accepting your offer, though your poll is a bit more clearly stated.

No, thanks. I eat BK breakfast now and then - their biscuits are the least greasy of the chains available, and the employees don’t get shocked and confused when I ask for just egg and cheese on my biscuit. But despite the fact that they claim to have actual grills in the restaurant (I’m doubtful) they put some sort of fake smoke stuff on their burgers that tastes utterly vile to me. Can I have a fish sandwich instead? With none of the chlorox-flavored lettuce please. . . ---
