MIAMI – March 30, 2016 – When you have a hit burger on your hands what’s the next logical step? An even more epic sequel. BURGER KING^® restaurants introduces the furiously delicious Angriest WHOPPER^® sandwich, a new take on the previous limited time only ANGRY WHOPPER^® sandwich, amped up with a red-hot bun, flaming onion petals, spicy angry sauce and jalapeños packed into every infuriating bite. This alarmingly delicious burger is sure to disprove the commonly held belief that a sequel is never as good as the original. 

 

BURGER KING^® restaurants first debuted a colored bun in the US with the A.1. ^® Halloween WHOPPER^® sandwich with A.1. ^® sauce baked into a pitch-black bun in the fall of 2015. 

 

“The black bun of our A.1. ^® Halloween Whopper created a lot of conversation and our previous limited time ANGRY WHOPPER^® sandwich was a hit with guests,” said Axel Schwan, Global Chief Marketing Officer for the BURGER KING^® brand. “So, we’re combining the power of these past hits into a star-studded sandwich we think our guests will unanimously agree is the next must-eat burger.”

 

The Angriest WHOPPER^® sandwich consists of savory flame-grilled beef, piled high with thick-cut bacon, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, crispy onion petals, jalapeños, creamy mayonnaise and spicy angry sauce all layered between a fiery red bun that has hot sauced baked in. 

 

The Angriest WHOPPER^® sandwich will be available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide while supplies last for the suggested price of $5.49 or $7.49 in a combo meal with small drink and fries. For additional information, visit www.bk.com.
