  • Burger King, originally founded as Insta-Burger King in 1953 by Keith J. Kramer and Matthew Burns in Jacksonville, Florida, experienced a pivotal transformation in 1954 when Miami-based franchisees James McLamore and David Edgerton acquired the struggling company and rebranded it as Burger King. They introduced the iconic Whopper sandwich in 1957, which became a cornerstone of the menu and brand identity. Through various ownership changes and strategic international expansions, Burger King grew to become the second-largest fast-food hamburger chain globally. Known for its flame-grilled burgers and the slogan "Have It Your Way," the company has continually adapted to evolving consumer tastes while maintaining its core offerings. Today, Burger King operates thousands of locations worldwide, emphasizing innovation and customer choice in its menu offerings.

    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...🍔🤷🏼‍♂

      I second this request. While living in Prague, I had an apartment on a street that was named after the capital of Serbia which translated into English comes out to be White Castle.

    $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.

    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.

    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

    The Burger King fast food chain opened in Springfield, Ohio twice:
    Burger King operated under the name "Home of the Whopper" in the 1970s, since an existing burger stand using the "Burger King" name already existed and lasted until 1985.
    Burger King tried Springfield, Ohio again in 1993 under the Burger King name after the local Burger King chain was long-gone.

    Burger King’s greatest flaw nowadays is inconsistency. You never know what you’ll get.
    A fresh whopper is great, but I have gotten them looking like they were worn as a shoe

    Burger is not the name of the meat patty...the Germans call them Frikadellen...it's the style of food (a bun featuring cooked hot meat with other fillings) invented by the people of Hamburg...a person from Hamburg is called a Hamburger hence the name...this is similar to the Berliner bun...a doughnut without the hole, filled with fruit sauce or custard and drizzled with icing. The origins are from Berlin and a person from Berlin is called a Berliner.

      A sandwich is any ingredients on bread and a bun is a type of bread. You’re wrong.
