I'm offering to buy you a Whopper from Burger King (your choice of toppings), do you take it?

I would eat it and ask you for another one.

Sure. double cheese, double onion please. Only ate about 5 of them, but I found them decent. Of course, I’d have to adjust other meals for that day. Fruit, tea and yogurt. But at the moment, I doubt I could take more than one bite due to some serious gastric problems.

Without reading the poll results, or any other replies, this seems like a trick: why am I saying no to a free hamburger?

It’s not a proper Whopper if you leave off every topper.

(from a song by Cyndi Lauper)

Don’t eat at Burger King much, hate pretty much everything they serve EXCEPT the actual burger. So, Free whopper? Hell yea. Whopper with cheese, no pickle, no onion, extra tomato please.

I pretty much only visit the chain when I have a coupon for a whopper, when there is a sale, or occasionally when I’m in the mood, its just a snack, and I get a whopper Jr. (no cheese, not paying extra for it for a little burger)

Angry Whopper for me. Mmm!

Just had a Whopper for lunch… mmmm…

Not in this lifetime! Fast food makes me sick quick!

Thanks, but no thanks. Their obnoxious and inescapable “I want my whopper” campaign from nine years ago got under my skin like fiberglass splinters, and I still can’t hear their name without wincing.

What I’d like to do is find the admen responsible and cram whoppers down their esophaguses until they explode like Mr. Creosote.

No, thanks. However, I’ll happily take a BK Veggie Burger, if that’s on offer!

Does that include being able to remove the bun? If so, I take it. Though I have to admit it’s not all that good. When you can’t eat the bun, you notice a lot more about the flavor of the meat. Hardees has the best. McDonald’s is actually okay. Most of the rest need salt.

I’m picky about what fast food I eat. Burger King doesn’t make the cut.

This. But double the pickles as well and hold the lettuce. Lettuce sucks and makes everything else taste like lettuce.

I’ve never had one*, but I voted yes. If I could get it with no mayo, no ketchup, no pickles, no lettuce and no tomato. (only onion and cheese). Is that a Whooper? I suppose it is.

*I’ve been to BK, and am not anti-fast food. Just shy away from signature burgers like Big Macs and Whoopers because I assume they’re loaded with stuff I hate.

You know, I haven’t eaten at Burger King in a looong time. Not because I wouldn’t, but for whatever reason, there were very few in Seattle (almost all of the few that were there closed sometime in the 20+ years I lived there) and as far as I can think of, none here in Santa Barbara.

Just thinking of BK reminds me vividly of three points in my life. One particular BK was a frequent stop late summer nights back when I was in high school. We’d aimlessly drive around the west side of Indianapolis, and a Whopper was our cheap meal of choice.

First year of college, there was a late night Burger King next to my dorm, so it was common for me to drop in to pick up a little ballast to hold down the beer I had consumed. Or not hold down, as sometimes was the case.

Last Burger King I can recal visiting on any regular basis was down the street from my first job in Seattle. I didn’t know anyone in town, and had not yet been accepted by the much older crew I worked with, so I’d head down to BK and get their Italian chicken sandwich and eat it in the parking lot while listening to the radio. That was close to 25 years ago, and I doubt I’ve paid a visit more than 5-6 times in the interveneing years.

So yeah, maybe a Whopper would hit the spot?

According to the BK website, Santa Barbara is ~34 miles both east and west of the nearest ones. But it’s not like there are no fast food places there: half a dozen McDonald’s (and a McDonald’s corporate office), at least one Wendy’s, a Taco Bell, an In-N-Out Burger, etc. Just no Burger King. Interesting/weird. :slight_smile:

You could have allowed multiple choices. I don’t like Whoppers, I don’t like Burger King, I’m not a big fan of fast food in general (independent pizza and Chinese places excluded), and I’m watching my weight.

With cheese and bacon, extra onion, no pickle please.

You wanna know what else is weird here? Very few of the fast food places have drive through window service. In fact, a couple places I’m thinking of clearly used to, but have closed them up and restricted their parking areas. I assumed there must be some sort of city restriction in place, but there are a small handful of places that have drive throughs. Weird. It’s a bummer for me because well I very warily want fast food, when I do it’s usually because I have my dog in my car, or I’m in a hurry or something and a drive-through would be extra convenient.

In the documentary Super Size Me (2004), a man who ate Big Macs three times a day (and was skinny as hell) said someone once offered him five bucks to eat a Whopper. He said he ate the Whopper and then used the money to buy more Big Macs.
