Whopper facts for kids
A Whopper is a very popular type of hamburger sold at the fast-food restaurant chain Burger King. It's known for its big size and flame-grilled taste.
The Whopper is made with a tasty beef patty, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, sliced onion, crunchy pickles, sweet ketchup, and creamy mayonnaise. All these ingredients are served inside a soft sesame seed bun. If you like, you can also ask for cheese to be added! Burger King also offers a Double Whopper, which has two beef patties instead of one.
A Whopper Jr. is just like the regular Whopper, but it's a smaller size. It has all the same ingredients but is perfect if you want a lighter meal or a snack.
