Whopper

The whopper was made by James McLamore in 1957. Since then there have been a lot of variations to the whopper. There are different whoppers that are available in different locations in the world. They are big successes there, but might sound nasty here.

  • he Garlic Whopper has chopped garlic added
    Available in Israel and in some restaurants in Sweden ('Whopper Garlic')
  • The Mustard Whopper replaces the mayonnaise with mustard
    Available in the US states of ArizonaNew MexicoOklahoma and Texas
  • The Rodeo Whopper replaces the raw onion and ketchup with onion rings and barbecue sauce
    Available in Argentina and Israel
  • The Whopper Pepper has added JalapeƱos and a tabasco kind of flavoured sauce instead of mayo, cheese is also standard on this one.
    Available in Sweden
  • The Whopper with roasted onions and mushrooms
    Available in Israel
  • The Whopper Teriyaki has teriyaki sauce instead of ketchup
    Available in Japan
  • The Italian Whopper has avocado instead of lettuce
    Available in Chile
  • The Bacon and Cheese Double Whopper - two ¼ lb (113.4 gram) hamburger patties, 4 pieces of bacon and 2 slices of American cheese
    Available in Japan and Hong Kong
  • Bulgogi Whopper uses Bulgogi sauce in it.
    Available in South Korea 
This is a list of the variations I found on wikipedia. Also when windows 7 came out there was a 7 stacker whopper that was released in Japan. Another strange burger in the double whopper junior. You would think if you could have two whopper junior patties, you could just have a whopper. 
FInally the whopper was such a big success is because it gave the people that there was an idea that people could have it their way. Which is the Burger King logo. According to BK there are 221,184 different ways you can have a whopper, and don't ask me how they got that number.

  2. I'm with Nellie: even one is pretty disgusting. Interesting how it's been embraced world-wide. Hard to believe that countries that have great food traditions have turned to this. Japan? Really? I would expect better of them.

  3. The Rodeo Whopper sounds good. Have you ever had one?

    Also why is the Whopper called "The Whopper"? Usually creations are named after the inventor, which isn't the case here since McLamore created it.
