@@Sparecards and you think that’s what’s important in life? I like reality. I’m not on happy drugs. I haven’t had a great life but I struggle on with my reality. And most important thing is I don’t create problems for others

Burger King will always have a special place in my heart. My older brother had slipped on ice and landed on his head causing brain bleed when he was a small child in the 1960s. He had to have multiple brain surgeries and was in a coma for about a week. When he finally woke up. His first words to my mom was, "Quiero Whopper" (I want a Whopper). It was a funny ending to a serious situation. But Burger King will always be royalty to us.
@@thereichscollector I see. Did his personality change afterwards? Alot of the time people with head injuries have permanent personality changes, changes in intelligence (usually it declines, but are many cases where the opposite happens, & they become geniuses), another very common one is when they wake up from the coma they only speak in a different countries accent (I personally know 2 people this has happened to), but the craziest one is there are a handful of cases where when people wake up theyve learned another language, which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE if you really think about it.
@@twilightning it did affect him for life. As an adult he had the personality of a young teen. He was able to work and even had a family. However he was very gullible and that led to problems later.
I remember the whopper as a pretty good burger when I was a kid. I’ve only been dissatisfied, and regretful for the last 20 years or so each time I gave it another shot.
I remember back in the 90s, when the whopper was only a dollar, some of my friends and I would always see how many whoppers we could eat, since they were so cheap.
When I was a teenager working minimum wage in the 90s was around 4.25hr. If anyone is looking for minimum wage to support their lifestyle then they are a loser. It's so easy to make more than minimum wage it's not even funny.
The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the lost of job caused by covid-19 pandemic and crisis is enough to push people to financial ventures and diversifying when investing,

Whopper with cheese, extra cheese, no ketchup. Had a million of them. You order like that and they have to make it fresh. When I was 15 I worked at a food store and my girlfriend worked at like the 3rd Burger King ever in Deerfield Beach FL. I would go there for lunch and get a free Whopper.

Yeah, the RUclipsr is probably younger so he doesn't remember that. But back then a lot of McDs would NOT change their burgers for you. You had to pick off the stuff. BK changed that by allowing you to change what goes on your burger.
Back in 2011/2012 when whopper Wednesday was $1.99 a burger.. but now I don’t eat at Burger King much anymore because it’s too expensive. back then it was a good weekly family feast, nowadays You can’t get 10 burgers for 20$. kind of like when KFC used to be a good family Tuesday meal, 2$ a box for two pieces of chicken and a side of fries (my dad would treat us too 2 or 3 boxes each)
Too expensive? They send coupons all the time and it's really cheap. Probably two small cheeseburgers and fries isn't even $5 there without any coupons.
10 years ago when you could get 10 burgers for $20 on whopper Wednesday, not anymore, it used to be a good family outing at one point. but fast food is just too expensive now.. can’t do it anymore.
If anything these stories just go to show that you don't need a lot of money to start something and be successful, you have to have an idea (a unique or new idea though, not what everyone else is doing necessarily) and at least some sort of initial plan. Mainly the idea. The plan likely changes throughout the course of creation (during the implementation and execution in the early days) but these stories are interesting, because some of these people had NOTHING when they started. Warren Buffet has a few stories about people who became millionaires with only, say $2500, but they had an idea. And this is where you have to work your network and find new acquantiances.
In Australia, Burger King is called Hungry Jack...because there was already a local restaurant called Burger King and they refused to sell the rights to the name.
I worked at BK a long time ago So its interesting to know some of the history BTW Best job I ever had Loved working there I still feel as though I'm a member of the BK family.
The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfleld Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to eating our fast food in peace."
What’s your goal ? To run down an entire franschise because some low life did something illegal and gross? That is not part of standard procedure anywhere
Everytime our family eats BK we all get sick. We're running to the bathroom all day & night. We've quit eating there for good. Don't eat one in Missouri.
The second you see Bain Capitol you know it goes way downhill very soon after. Also, the end sounds so good for it. Out of the four burger kings in my area, three went out of business. All of them had the worst service, and poorest food quality (stale bread, overcooked/undercooked, orders wrong, etc) of anything out there. I figured maybe it was all some rogue bad franchise owner/s and tried some in other counties, because sometimes I feel nostalgia for the food there, and they were awful experiences too, always with particularly old stale bread. I'm unsure how it's managing to do better when, in my eyes, and anyone I've talked to, it seems worse than ever.
Burger king has a specific flavor, which for the fastest food, tastes decent. I don't like the fries and they always mess up my order, so it's about once a year that I eat a whopper. My Michigan high school friend ate BK every day, and loves it. I remember it being better then. You always like to hear about business that suceeds after a struggle, even if it isn't your favorite.
I regularly visit buffets in different cities around the states. Before I go to a buffet, I will place 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. After entering the buffet, I sneak the corndogs into some of the fried food section trays. It is such a joy for me to see other customers of the buffet eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buff
As a minister who also worked as a Substitute Teacher, a Burger King was right across the street from the High School, I discovered Burger King had a great breakfast menu. The Sausage Egg and Cheese sandwhich was outstanding and inexpensive. Now in the Philippines, I really miss the breakfast menu and miss Burger King. Please step up your plans for Burger King for the Philippines. Great video.
In Australia Burger King is actually called Hungry Jacks. This is because there was already a Burger King in Australia so they couldn’t use the name. (Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I’ve heard at least)
@@WalkingW1 someone else trade marked the name Burger King in Australia first. For that reason Burger King had to make their name hungry jacks. From my understanding at least

I had a Whopper from BK in the Abu Dhabi airport and it was surprisingly delicious, far tastier and bigger in size than that of my local BK restaurants’.
originally the whopper name belonged to a burger joint called Whopper Burger in San Antonio Tx. The Whopper name wasn’t acquired until the owner passed away and sold to BK by his widow
I like how they have Poppin Fresh, the Pillsbury doughboy to explain how Mclemore and the other guy reached a deal, but when I see the Pillsbury doughboy lurking from the outside, he reminds me of the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters giving him a creepy yet friendly appearance.
The original Burger King is in Mattoon Illinois. You might want to revisit your history. The Hoots family started the first one and it is still in operation.
He had $11 pre WWII? So that was basically enough to buy a house, a car, pay for two years of electricity, buy a years worth of food, and still have money left over to play with.
We need more Norman Brinker. He has a fascinating history of his own, and was a very cool guy. I worked at Chili's in Dallas and met him a few times. (Navy, olympics, Jack In The Box, Steak & Ale, Pillsbury, Chili's, Susan G. Komen for the Cure)
Mattoon residents Gene and Betty Hoots bought the successful Frigid Queen ice cream shop from Gene's uncle, Bill Paullin, in 1952.[1] In 1954, Gene expanded the business, adding hamburgers, French fries and other items to the menu. In 1957,[2] they fixed up a two-car parking garage behind the Frigid Queen, adding a grill and a counter for customers.[1] When it came time to give the new business behind the Frigid Queen a name, Gene wanted to go with The Hot Dames but Betty said that a queen needs a king, and chose the name Burger King instead.[1] In 1959, after prompting by his uncle, Gene registered the name "Burger King" as a state trademark in Illinois, and the Hootses were official owners and operators of the only "Burger King" restaurant in Illinois at the time.[1]
We NEVER go to McDonald's. However we DO seesaw back and forth between Wendy's and Burger King. Do you have a good video story recommendation for Wendy's...???
Burger King also has a US Military contract. You can literally be in combat and a couple hours later order a Whopper or order your Whopper and carry it into combat.
The last time I bought a Whopper is the last time I’m buying one. Unripe green tomato, the center of a head of ice berg lettuce and way too much watery sauce made it inedible.
Its an extremely hard lesson to learn and live with,that if you décide to actually help those working a nine to five job everyday along with trying to take yourself to a higher financial wage setting,most likely you will be cut out of literally everything Youve ever actually come up with in one way or another-"But that doesnt mean that you should give up or actually let them forget what You've done in the process either."
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Surprised there wasn't anything mentioned about Hungry Jack's in Australia after the conflict when they were originally called Burger King in the land down under. Sorry Burger King, there way better tasting when eating their Whoppers.
Another business in Adelaide, the Burger King Drive-In ("Service Fit For a King" was their slogan), was already operating when the American Burger King wanted to open down under in 1971. They chose to call their franchise down in Australia "Hungry Jack's," choosing to name it after Hungry Jack, one of the many American food brands once owned by Pillsbury. The trademark for the other "Burger King" lapsed by the 1990s, causing Burger King to open locations under their own name, but it led to a lawsuit between Hungry Jack's and Burger King, which, in essence, was almost like they were suing themself...
My local bk still has you read back the order dispite the order number system. Dont really think james would be happy that bad system still operates in 2022
No mention of Carol's Restaurant that were bought and closed by Burger 🍔 King 👑 in the 60's or 70's maybe 🤔 .. Carol's had the Whopper I believe first .... At least in Pennsylvania they did, and the Carol's Whopper was way way better, FRESH AND BIG....
When I was 9 a Burger King opened 2 blocks from where I lived on the SouthSide of Chicago. It was heaven. Fast food within easy walking distance. A great place to hang out with friends. I live in Southern California and the nearest Burger King closed. There is a Habit Grill which is great.
Not true. It was invented by a king who liked hamburgers, thus the burger King. People tried to escape from the castes dungeon whenever they smelled the hamburgers being cooked, thus the hamburgler character. The king wound up becoming friends with his palace jester, thus the Grimace character. The baconator came later after regular towns People start eating the burgers and put pork on them

The original Burger King is in Mattoon Illinois. You might want to revisit your history. The Hoots family started the first one and it is still in operation.
I was just recalling something about that. "The Original Burger King"
He had $11 pre WWII? So that was basically enough to buy a house, a car, pay for two years of electricity, buy a years worth of food, and still have money left over to play with.
... And that was as a student…
We need more Norman Brinker. He has a fascinating history of his own, and was a very cool guy. I worked at Chili's in Dallas and met him a few times. (Navy, olympics, Jack In The Box, Steak & Ale, Pillsbury, Chili's, Susan G. Komen for the Cure)
Gotta love the suggested videos when it's done right.
4:01 is where it starts.
Cornell is super expensive now! Burger King would be number one if they had better fries!
Burger Kings are closing down left and right where I live. Kinda sad.☹
Yeah, Burger King is kind of scarce now. They're really tricky to find these days.
The founder of Dominos Pizza: I only had $15…..
The founder of Burger King: I only had $11……………….
your videos are so interesting, keep the good work up!
Hi can you please do me a favor?
Mattoon residents Gene and Betty Hoots bought the successful Frigid Queen ice cream shop from Gene's uncle, Bill Paullin, in 1952.[1] In 1954, Gene expanded the business, adding hamburgers, French fries and other items to the menu. In 1957,[2] they fixed up a two-car parking garage behind the Frigid Queen, adding a grill and a counter for customers.[1] When it came time to give the new business behind the Frigid Queen a name, Gene wanted to go with The Hot Dames but Betty said that a queen needs a king, and chose the name Burger King instead.[1]
In 1959, after prompting by his uncle, Gene registered the name "Burger King" as a state trademark in Illinois, and the Hootses were official owners and operators of the only "Burger King" restaurant in Illinois at the time.[1]
Thank you for this! I have ALWAYS enjoyed Burger King's food.
Wrong - Burger King is basically a burger soaked in beef stock.
We NEVER go to McDonald's. However we DO seesaw back and forth between Wendy's and Burger King. Do you have a good video story recommendation for Wendy's...???
Burger King also has a US Military contract. You can literally be in combat and a couple hours later order a Whopper or order your Whopper and carry it into combat.
Burger King 2023 is THE place to get a fast food burger currently. That is, when you find a properly managed one
He's back with another banger!! 🔥🔥
The last time I bought a Whopper is the last time I’m buying one. Unripe green tomato, the center of a head of ice berg lettuce and way too much watery sauce made it inedible.
$11 at that time is huge. 📈💰
It's like $190 in today's money. That's huge to you?
Yes. He Values money
I’ve only got $11.00. Why don’t you be first in industry to make and use a NanoWave.
Its an extremely hard lesson to learn and live with,that if you décide to actually help those working a nine to five job everyday along with trying to take yourself to a higher financial wage setting,most likely you will be cut out of literally everything Youve ever actually come up with in one way or another-"But that doesnt mean that you should give up or actually let them forget what You've done in the process either."
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
RBI owns Burger King, Tim Horton's, and Popeye's Chicken. Their stocks pay some steady dividends for cash flow. 😂
Surprised there wasn't anything mentioned about Hungry Jack's in Australia after the conflict when they were originally called Burger King in the land down under. Sorry Burger King, there way better tasting when eating their Whoppers.
Another business in Adelaide, the Burger King Drive-In ("Service Fit For a King" was their slogan), was already operating when the American Burger King wanted to open down under in 1971.
They chose to call their franchise down in Australia "Hungry Jack's," choosing to name it after Hungry Jack, one of the many American food brands once owned by Pillsbury.
The trademark for the other "Burger King" lapsed by the 1990s, causing Burger King to open locations under their own name, but it led to a lawsuit between Hungry Jack's and Burger King, which, in essence, was almost like they were suing themself...
I've worked at 3 burger King's 2 in Detroit and 1in Virginia.
There's literally four McDonald's in my town and not one burger king . ..life is cruel sometimes
These are always so good! Thanks for posting!
Just bought two Whoppers cost nearly $14.00 !
A cheeseburger fries and a drink, that is everything! It so much better if u have a girlfriend to go with it though 😂...
We love our Burger Kings. Always a great time.
bro who owns burger king like it keeps switching and mergeing
My local bk still has you read back the order dispite the order number system. Dont really think james would be happy that bad system still operates in 2022
amazing quality as always
5 guys beats Wendy's McDonalds and BK.
Hi Jones can you please do me a favor?
Welcome back 🙌
corporate investors rarely make a fast food business better
This isn't a video about burger king, It's an advertisement with the burger king facts thrown in.
Wish Hook would always covert the $ to what it would be worth today $$$. I’m sure $11 still is not a lot.
About $232.90 today =)
Why does it matter if it's converted or not
No mention of Carol's Restaurant that were bought and closed by Burger 🍔 King 👑 in the 60's or 70's maybe 🤔 .. Carol's had the Whopper I believe first .... At least in Pennsylvania they did, and the Carol's Whopper was way way better, FRESH AND BIG....
I find it suspicious and condescending that the vast majority of the most successful businesses in America was founded by a poor broke man..
In 2018 I had a whopper and got sick afterwards. I haven’t had Burger King since.
I've always prefered the Whooper over the Big Mac...it's just sad that they are no longer flame broiled but fried on the grill like everyone else. 😞
In Australia there are 440 hungry Jack's restaurants. They are burger kings with a different name . This is due to a copyright previously on the name.
So basically ripping off a mom and pop store.
We live right next to the grandsons of the person who started Burger King
When I was 9 a Burger King opened 2 blocks from where I lived on the SouthSide of Chicago. It was heaven. Fast food within easy walking distance. A great place to hang out with friends. I live in Southern California and the nearest Burger King closed. There is a Habit Grill which is great.
Bro spent 9 mins with a sponsor for raid
The Burger Wars rages on!
I love your videos, they are so inspiring …thank you!
2 burger kings near me are AWFUL! one always LOOKS closed.
and yes I have contacted them by email
In Australia the name Burger King was already taken by a small operator so they called it Hungry Jacks
The Burger King Character is Shady !!!!!
Not true. It was invented by a king who liked hamburgers, thus the burger King. People tried to escape from the castes dungeon whenever they smelled the hamburgers being cooked, thus the hamburgler character. The king wound up becoming friends with his palace jester, thus the Grimace character. The baconator came later after regular towns People start eating the burgers and put pork on them
Edgerton. Edgehill? Sounds like bk was built on edging
Australia not included the call it hungry jack similar menu
