I ordered mine the way God intended (extra pickles, no cheese) and ate it the way my therapist cautioned against (alone in my car in the BK parking lot.) Here's my review:
It comes in a box now! The box allows them to half wrap the burger, which I love. We all know a good whopper can get messy. The bun is definitely smaller. It also feels more fluffy and airy. I can't say the new bun was any better or worse. It did it's job and we're not here for the bun.
First bite - no one can come close to that hint of smokiness you get in a BK burger. The beef tastes like it was cooked at home on my grill. I soon began to notice some new sores forming, a brown rash on my palms, and some patchy hair loss. That's right - all the telltale signs of syphilis. I don't know how this Whopper fucked me, but I know we didn't use protection.
The pickles are so tangy! No sweetness, less dill, and more sour than you get at other places. I think BK has the best pickles in the business. I've heard they changed the mayo, but I didn't notice a difference. What I did notice was Tom Hanks' character from Castaway suddenly appearing in my passenger seat in a Whopper-induced hallucination. He asked for a bite of my burger but I don't like sharing food.
They certainly didn't skimp on the veggies! I'm not normally a raw onion guy, but it just works so well with this burger. Likewise, iceberg lettuce has no business being this good. I think it probably gets elevated by the ketchup and mayo. By the last bite I realized 3 days had passed and I was now naked, covered in sand. My credit score took quite a hit, and my dog acts like he doesn't trust me now. I think they could probably improve the tomatoes if they tried.
9/10, will probably get another one soon.
