If you look closely you'll notice in the Thumbnail old school Logo, the King's Feet are standing on the Lettuce. It's a longstanding Burger King Tradition.

I accidentally tried to order a Big Mac the other day at Burger King after work. The girl just laughed, "you mean a Whopper?" I didn't even realize I said it. "Did I say Big Mac??" She laughed again. I apologized and replied "I'm not even high!" She said it happens all the time and I made her day. Mistakes were made...🍔🤷🏼♂

Great to see your take on the King and burger history in general. Other videos on yt specifically cite Texas's own Whataburger as the inspiration of the Whopper.

$1.39 CAD Whoppers during the mid to late 90s. The newspaper would also have "buy one get one free" whopper coupons once a month lol

The closest Burger King to my high school had a plaque on it proclaiming it was the first Burger King in Illinois. I never bothered to question that fact until watching this story. Paused the video to read the article and, sure enough, first one opened in Skokie, Illinois. It was located at 8225 Skokie Boulevard. Today it's an Enterprise car rental.

Very impressive and comprehensive history of BK; Kudos! I had my first Whopper in August of 1966 (for $0.37) and was amazed at the taste & size of the Whopper. Made me very thankful I lived in a country that gave me this experience and value. However good things don't last and two months later BK raised the price a nickel to $0.42, so I was hooked and now I had to pay; cruel lesson for an 11yo. Seriously, the Whopper is a sandwich that I've enjoyed for decades, save for a few years when there was an alternative, called the Dandy Burger (Yankee Doodle restaurants). I still look forward to eating a Whopper, however the experience of buying a Whopper is severely degraded. Hopping very much that BK can get its feet back under itself

Certainly didn't expect to see a shot of dayton ohio .. props

I did get a small chuckle out of "the good times couldn't last" right after the 9/11 bit. I know you didn't mean anything but I couldn't help notice
-
Betton, Burton, Dustin & Osborn?? No way. I worked at BBDO. It's Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn. The Burger King logo was on the company phone directory.
-
I remember 99 cent Whoppers in the late 90's and the only reason I would eat there
-
I'd love to subsist on a White Castle diet but I doubt I'd be "completely fine"!
-
"somtimes you have to brake the rules" ad with Ben Aflek.
-
The Whopper is still my favorite basis fast food burger.
-
I remember Whoppers were only a Dollar in 1992
-
Burking King is almost dead in the province of Quebec and they merged with Tim Horton's in Canada
-
My hometown BK shut down... 👀
