53 - "Burger King is a British company. Any questions?"

Not any more.

Burger King was founded in the late 50's by Pillsbury, to compete with McDonalds. The Whoppers were great back in those days, the best hamburgers in the world. (I used to ride my bicycle 3 miles and across a mile wide river, just to get one of their great whoppers for 40 cents.)

Then they started expanding, popping up everywhere and the quality went down, but still good.

Then in the late 80's or early 90's, they sold out to a British group, and became a British (home of the worlds worst hamburgers) Company. And the burgers started really going to hell.

About 18 months ago, the british consortium was losing it's ass and sold out to a group of American franchisees and some other American investors. So, it's an American company again.

They are working hard to bring back Burger King to it's former glory and recoup their investment. I hope they succeed.
