Burger King Announces a New Bacon Whopper

January 29, 2024

Burger King, one of America’s multinational fast-food chains, has recently announced an exciting new development with the introduction of the Candied Bacon Whopper. This initiative is in line with the company’s longstanding tradition of innovating its iconic Whopper burger to align with current culinary trends, thereby sustaining consumer interest and expanding market reach.

The Candied Bacon Whopper is a distinctive creation that features the timely food trend of candied bacon. According to WPTV5, “Burger King describes it as a half-pound ‘flame-grilled beef patty, with juicy tomatoes and crisp lettuce, taken up a notch with crispy onions, creamy garlic aioli, bacon jam, and the best part, brown sugar candied bacon, served on a sesame seed bun.’”

The integration of candied bacon underscores a shift from the modern fast-food industry’s norm of relying on star-studded endorsements or cross-industry collaborations for product launches. The Candied Bacon Whopper’s branding leverages the appeal of simplicity coupled with subtle innovation, thereby offering a fresh twist on the beloved classic.

This variant of the Whopper became accessible to customers nationwide starting on Jan. 29. It is part of Burger King’s broader commitment to diversify its menu and cater to an ever-evolving consumer palate. The company is expected to roll out more novel items in the near future as it continues to monitor and respond to emergent food preferences and trends.

The new Burger King Candied Bacon Whopper is available all across the nation, albeit for a limited time only. Currently, there is no official date set or announced as to when the new sandwich will no longer be on sale. Therefore, anyone who is interested in trying this new burger or is already a fan of the Burger King franchise should check with their local fast-food establishments to make sure it’s available before heading over.
