I’ve never had a BK burger but I’d take it. HOWEVER, like **Kamino Neko** , by the time I told them to “hold everything” it wouldn’t qualify as a Whopper anymore. So, if the question is would I accept free Burger King food, then, yes. Would I eat a Whopper in its natural state - a proper Whopper if you will- then, no. ---

Yes, please. Double whopper with cheese, no pickles. Extra large fries, Sprite. “I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal isn’t over when I’m full. It’s over when I hate myself.” - Louis C. K. Wait wait WAIT! Are you one of those clowns trying to lure children into the woods by buying them a Whopper? ---

Yes please. And while I’m taking advantage of your generosity, I’d also like a large order of onion rings and a Coke Zero (gotta watch those unnecessary calories). ---

I’d prefer a chicken sandwich, but I’m not in the habit of turning down food when someone else is paying. And thank you. ---

I generally don’t go to Burger King, I don’t know why, I have no real objection to them. I’ll take a free Whopper. ---

I voted “No, I need to watch my weight or am on a diet/it’s got too many calories/fat” however, it’s 710 calories for a UK Burger King Whopper, and I’m on 1,800 calories a day, so if I could stay under my limit, I’d happily accept your kind offer! ---

Well if its a double whopper with lettuce and cheeses no tomato pickles and onion sure… I learned about burger king when I was a kid because they were the only chain that had Pepsi to drink so grandma perfered them When I moved back to can I learned mom hated mcd’s that cemented it… But these days I’d prefer in n out or jack in the box… ---

Thanks, but no thanks. if you pass by a Wendy’s on your way to Burger King, however, I’ll take a double stack. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > 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! They opened a regretstaurant right next to a regretstaurant? ---

I said no, because I’d much rather have a Wendy’s Triple with cheese and get all my arteries hardened at once. ---

“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don’t upset us. All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!” I have a special fondness for Burger King for that reason. I remember when this mattered. Extra mayo and pickles on mine, please. 🙂 ---

Yes please. I want everything on it except onions, and please go easy on the mayo. Can I get a side of fries with that? ---

I never developed a taste for Whoppers. I don’t like the whole flame-broiled thing. I do love BK, though: I’m all about an original chicken sandwich with some onion rings and a strawberry shake. 🙂 ---

There was a time when a double Whopper with cheese was my favorite hangover food, but since I haven’t had a hangover in something like 20 years, I’ll pass. ---

I like Burger King and would enjoy a free whopper. Hold the tomato and onion. I always go during lunch the rush. 12 to 1 That ensures a fresh burger right off their flame grill. ---

I would accept the offer but know in advance that I may tear up and even cry a little. When I was in middle school, we got out early on Wednesdays so that the public school kids could go to CCD at our school. Becky, Helen, Chris and I were a posse and we went to Burger King those days. I always got a Whopper and haven’t had one since. Chris is dead now and those days are long gone. Eating one now would create such a wave of nostalgia I’d be swept away. ---

It’s too big. I’d take a regular burger on a bun, though. ---
