I'd order a whopper if it was actually flame broiled at the restaurant. But no, they advertize flame broiled whoppers, but you instead get microwaved meat. (It gets frozen after the flame broiling and then it is sent all over the world to be later microwaved).

Basically you can get a whopper in about the same number of combinations as the McDonald's hamburger, or Wendy's squareburger, or any other restaurant.

Do you use ketchup on your burger?

Um, what? Where I live you can see the huge machine they put the patties into. The meat is quite raw and you can see them roll over the flames on a revolving grill...

<< On March 31, 1999 Burger King Corporation announced the launch of the "new" Left-Handed WHOPPER® as an April Fool's public relations stunt that garnered significant media attention. In the announcement, BKC claimed to have re-engineered the WHOPPER® to fit more comfortably in the left hand, thereby reducing condiment "spills" for left-handed hamburger lovers.
wtf?

LOL, thanks for posting that one -- good lefty joke. :)

I think they're talking about the original whopper only. And I think they would know more about a burger than you would. It's pretty sad if you know more than they do :p

Normal...no onions unless they're willing to grill them for me (probably about 20% of places are willing to)

Otherwise it would get way too complex, with a little, some, more, a lot, a whole lot, extra, etc.

When I do have one (seldom), I just order lettuce, tomato and catsup.
