What does burger king put in their burgers

Share this —. Follow today. More Brands. By Aly Walansky. Fast food burgers aren't the unhealthiest meals on the planet. It's fine to enjoy a drive-thru bun once in a while, but it's when you make those trips more frequently and tack on other toppings that the meal itself becomes unhealthy.

Fast food chains, such as Wendy's and McDonald's, have vowed to reduce their use of antibiotics on meat, but until government agencies enforce regulations against the injudicious use of antibiotics on meat, consider making your own hamburger at home with organic, grass-fed beef. And if you're craving a bite of a Big Mac without too much guilt, you can always omit the special sauce and pair the burger with a side salad to add more satiating fiber to your meal.

What's Really in a Fast Food Hamburger. Is the patty pink slime or real beef? Is the bun loaded with more than just belly-ballooning empty carbs? By April Benshosan. The Bottom Line. Now that's a beefy sandwich.

Extra cheese, no mayo, cut in half, extra hot. It is prepared to order just for you, always your way. Because we care about freshness, every day we slice our tomatoes and onions in-restaurant. Every single day in every restaurant. But that's not all. Past variants include the Angry Whopper with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos and "Angry Sauce" , the California Fresh Whopper with sour cream-onion dressing and cucumbers , the Pinata Whopper with jalapenos, tortilla chips and hot sauce , the Windows 7 Whopper which uses seven quarter-pound patties and even the Whopper with egg.

And the list goes on. Most were available only for a short time and in certain countries, sadly, so don't expect to be chowing down on a seven-patty Whopper with egg, cucumber and Angry Sauce anytime soon. Ever ordered a Whopper at Burger King, sat down to eat it and found that you're just incapable of getting it into your mouth?

If so, you might be left-handed. It's a little-known fact that southpaws are, thanks to the burger's unique and complex design, pretty much unable to properly eat a whole Whopper.

Luckily, Burger King introduced a Left-Handed Whopper for the very first time in , specifically designed to be eaten by those of us who prefer to live using our left hands. The chain took out an ad in USA Today announcing their new menu item, explaining that every condiment would be rotated degrees to better suit their 1. Of course, lefties across America rejoiced — at last, somebody had answered their prayers.

Of course, the whole thing was actually just an April Fool's prank. But you've figured that out by now, right? At a branch in San Francisco during the city's pride celebrations, the menu was turned rainbow-colored while visitors who asked for a Proud Whopper were given their burgers wrapped inside a rainbow wrapper, with the words "We Are All the Same Inside" written on the interior.

When cashiers were asked what exactly about the Proud Whopper was different to the normal version, they replied, "I don't know. Otherwise, the public response to the Proud Whopper was predictable — in some instances, grimly so.

A few bystanders smiled, some cried with joy or otherwise expressed their solidarity, while others grew angry or announced their intention to never eat at Burger King again. One passerby asked whether gay people even eat fast food. Considering just how iconic the Whopper has become since its release over half a century ago, it's hard to imagine the idea that someone could exist out there who doesn't know what one is — let alone someone who doesn't know what a hamburger is.

But these people were the focus of a controversial ad campaign back in The Whopper Virgin Challenge consisted of BK film crews travelling to remote areas of the world to find people such as Thai villagers, Inuits in Greenland, and farmers in Transylvania who'd never in their lives eaten a burger — and then offering them a taste test between a Big Mac and a Whopper.
