What is the Spider-Man Whopper burger and where can I order it?
MARVEL superfans are flocking to Burger King after it announced a new Spider-Man Whopper Burger.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Spider-Verse Whopper.
What is the Spider-Man Whopper burger?
Available from May 15 2023, Burger King is offering a new Whopper burger and a sundae in partnership with Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse hits theaters June 2, and the burger chain is celebrating with two menu items.
The Spider-Verse Whopper will feature a red bun with black sesame seeds, in tribute to the Marvel character’s distinctive costume.
Also to celebrate the new Spider-Man movie, the Burger King in Astoria, Queens, New York, has been transformed with a Spider-Verse takeover.
Guests can immerse themselves in interactive designs, a Spider-Verse dining room and drive-thru, and other Instagram-able restaurant areas.
Where can I order the Spider-Man Whooper burger?
After news of the Spider-Verse Whopper spread on Twitter, fans had mixed feelings about the red-colored burger bun.
“I will eat it, and I will feel terrible after. But damn it, it will be worth it!” wrote one.
“It better be spicy or I want a refund,” said another.
A third shared: “I might try it, if it doesn’t turn my mouth red.”
However, these new items will only be available at restaurants nationwide from May 15 through June 21.
What’s inside the Spider-Man Whooper burger?
Between the bun, customers can expect a beef patty plus melted Swiss cheese and the usual Whopper toppings.
The new item will also have customizable toppings such as bacon.
Meanwhile, the Spider-Verse sundae will consist of soft-serve ice cream with black and red popping candy.
Things haven’t been looking good at Burger King lately.
Chief executive officer Joshua Kobza of Restaurant Brands International, Burger King’s parent company, has warned 400 restaurants could close permanently.
Despite better-than-expected sales in the first quarter of 2023, the closures will be made to “improve the overall health of the system,” said the fast-food boss.
The brand continues to have an uncertain future, especially after two key franchisees, Meridian Restaurants Unlimited and Toms King Holdings, declared bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Burger King’s main competitor McDonald’s has announced some subtle improvements to its signature hamburgers.
And KFC has introduced a new limited-time combo that is only available for one more day.
