Burger King's iconic Whopper sandwich is celebrating a big birthday this weekend, but customers are the ones getting a gift.
In celebration of 64 years of the Whopper, the fast food giant is rolling back prices to 1957 and selling its signature sandwich for its original price of just 37 cents.
That's right. Whopper lovers can get that same flame-grilled beef patty with mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup and sliced onion on a sesame seed bun for practically pennies.
The special promotion will be running in Burger King restaurants nationwide on Friday and Saturday (Dec. 3 and Dec. 4), to Burger King Royal Perks members.

Yep. Absolutely. More than just a pickle... lol
Absolutely. “How did someone get my identity?”, Burger King...
Last time I ate there they still had the “5 for 4” deal. Five dollar menu items for four bucks.
No thanx, even at reduced price. It is very rare that I do fast food but I prefer Wendy’s when I do.
Don’t forget that they also encouraged customers to toss their shakes onto conservative candidates running for parliament in England. This at a time when libs were throwing toxic chemicals into the faces of candidates
Yes, I did forget about that one. Thank you for the reminder.
I love Whoppers and their meatless sandwich is actually pretty good, but... I can't do the burger King making out with Ronald McDonald.
I miss Burger Chef ...
And wtf are those dehydrated onion turds at McDonald?
Remember Red Barn?
What a great example of inflation; 1957 Whopper=$.37, 2021 Whopper=$4.19.
It now takes a dollar to buy something that 64 years ago cost about 11 cents.

Yup. In 1957, you could buy a nice 3 BR cape for $15,000. Average new home today is $375,000. That is 25X higher in inflated/depreciated dollars.
Average full time salary 1957: $4,700/year
Average full time salary 2021: $53,000/year
So salaries have inflated 11X while housing prices have inflated 25X. Helps explain why now most families need two incomes where in the 1950’s one income was sufficient.
The meatless “Burger” was the final straw for me. It was not the concept, to offer it on the menu was fine. But to offer a meatless “sandwich” is a different psychology than pushing and prioritizing a meatless “Burger”over real Burgers.
It was not that they offered it, it was how they did it. They had an obvious political psyop campaign backed by Vegans to psychologically “Convert” meat eaters to Vegan and eventually replace real burgers with fake veggie burgers.
The obvious effort and agenda insulted my intelligence. And not just me... Many here saw through the political smoke screen.
When I was in college in 198x the Burger King near the campus would have a Wednesday “$1 Whopper Nite.” I’d buy a bunch of $1 Whoppers and keep them in the fridge and ate them all weekend.
Yup, do the math.
> Needs mustard.
Have it your way!®
:)
I wish the Impossible Burger was on sale for that but $6 for the meal on the app most all the time is good too.
See #52...
LOL1 as a Whopper fanatic and a Wendy’s Frosty officiant I love the gif!
