Since its debut in 1957, the Whopper sandwich has transcended from a signature item at Burger King to a cultural icon recognized worldwide by its flame-grilled taste and inescapable jingle. With the launch of the Million Dollar Whopper Contest earlier this year, Burger King put the beloved sandwich in the hands of its Guests, who let their imaginations run wild as they submitted ingredients for their dream Whopper sandwich for the chance to win a $1 million prize.
“The Million Dollar Whopper Contest was all about taking “Have It Your Way” to the next level, and we were blown away by the thought and creativity that went into the Whopper creations that were submitted,” said Pat O’Toole, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King North America. “Selecting just three finalists was no easy task, but we’re confident Guests will love these creative delicious takes on the iconic Whopper sandwich, and can’t wait for them to be available in restaurants this fall.”
Additional details regarding the availability of the three Million Dollar Whopper sandwiches and how Guests can help crown the $1 million winner will be available in mid-November.
