Burger King just changed the Whopper for the first time in 10 years

Burger King enhanced the Whopper with a premium bun, creamier mayonnaise, and new packaging after seven months of testing and 12,000 customer calls, boosting U.S. same-store sales 3.2%.

  • Burger King rolled out the revamped Whopper this week in more than 7,000 restaurants nationwide, featuring a premium bun, creamier mayonnaise, and box packaging.
  • Facing competitive and pricing pressure, Burger King responded to years of complaints about smashed burgers that fell apart around 2023.
  • After months of testing, Burger King refined mayonnaise, buns and clamshell box packaging for seven months, changing pan size, adding a glaze, and working with nearly a dozen national bakeries.
  • Franchisees face an extra $4,000 a year in costs, though Burger King advised local owners not to raise prices and suggested the investment will drive sales as U.S. same-store sales rose 3.2%.
