Don't keep your great burger ideas to yourself.
Attention burger aficionados: Burger King wants to hear your ideas for its next great Whopper creation. And it’s willing to pay you $1 million for your idea.
Starting today, February 5, burger fans and would-be chefs can submit their ideas to the Million Dollar Whopper Contest, outlining which ingredients they believe belong atop its famed flame-grilled meat. If selected, they’ll not only win the cash but also see their creation actually come to life and end up on menus across America. But you’re going to need to be seriously inventive with your topping suggestions. As Burger King noted in a press release, “The flame-grilled Whopper currently offers more than 200,000 possible customized combinations,” meaning only the most creative of ideas will suffice.
To enter, those with topping ideas can visit BK.com/MDW or open the BK App to submit their Whopper creation any time through Sunday, March 17. (Note: you need to sign up for and use the free Royal Perks account.) Then, just follow the prompts and add up to eight toppings to your submission. After submitting an idea, contestants will be treated to an A.I. preview of their creation, which they can then add a personalized A.I.-generated jingle to, which can be downloaded and shared across social media.
Burger King Thailand's Newest Offering Is Made for Cheese Lovers “Burger King is all about Having It Your Way, and this contest is a true embodiment of that. More than 50% of guests customize their Whopper sandwich, and now, the possibilities of what those customizations include are endless,” Pat O’Toole, the chief marketing officer at Burger King, shared. “And, whether or not your Whopper ends up in restaurants nationwide, we’re giving guests the opportunity to experience and share their creation using the power of A.I. technology.”
Like last year, three finalists will be selected and brought to Burger King headquarters in Miami to refine their idea and see if it all works. The three burgers will then be offered for a limited time in locations across the country. Other diners will then get to vote on their favorite Million Dollar Whopper idea, and the finalists with the most votes win.
In case you need a little more inspiration for your Whopper creation, you can always look to Whoppers of the past, including the Angry Whopper, the Ghost Pepper Whopper, and the latest addition, the Candied Bacon Whopper. Or, just go to your nearest Burger King and test out all 200,000 possible combinations to see what works and what could possibly be missing.
Put a chicken in it and make it lame and gay.
Durian
Not until they have bitten the bun, and barely nipped the meat.
Stop using vegetable fillers and kangaroo in the burgers.
Get rid of the “improved” fries and go back to frying in lard.
Get the corn syrup out of the sodas.
In other words make it like you did originally.
A burger with its own cupholder,,, and Bluetooth.
Patty melt.
Take 8 ounces of grass-fed ground beef (at least 80/20), form it into one big patty and grill medium-rare.
Put on a brioche bun and top with two fried farm fresh eggs (over easy).
Then add two thick slices of swiss cheese (top and bottom)
Further top with sautéed mushrooms and sliced jalapenos soaked in olive oil.
For low carb people, substitue the brioche bun with a lettuce wrap and you got yourself the best Whopper ever made.
Whatever happened to that “McWhopper” idea? Burger King actually had the balls to ask McDonalds to merge the Big Mac and the Whopper into its own sandwich.
Putting this out for all
Whopper Sliders.
Winner winner
Yeah, make it a rainbow burger. Can’t call it a whopper though.sounds too much like a whop her. Would have to make it inclusive. Call it a Whopthey or Whopthem.
Well this is a good gimmick to get people signed up to their app and their loyalty program. And they’ll get mileage promoting the contest and the winner and the sort of new burger. But if they only let you choose from the available ingredients then there is nothing really new about it. BK lets anyone “have it your way” at least according to their ads. So it wouldn’t seem to matter.

How about don’t.
Spare the world from attempting to eat a stack of crap.

Making a good burger is no secret.
Use good quality meat, a decent bun and fresh veggies and good condiments.
Flame broiled was and is a good idea.
The race to the bottom in price competition with McDonalds was a mistake.
HotDog Burger.
It checks the boxes for a certain, ahhmm, group.
Call it a Dick-Dog-in-a-Bun
Wiener-Ding-King
King-Kong-Ding-Dong
(Where is my $1 million?)
I still remember that day in the fall of 1973 when I walked into a Burger King and got a flame-broiled Whopper. The taste of that lunch was so good - almost perfect - that I can still experience it to a degree in my mind.
Two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickle etc
The Pelosi burger. You don’t know what’s in it until you buy it and take a bite. Then you find out it’s poison. Only sell to Democrats.
The soggy bun they used was horrible and there was no way for the shop to make it better.
No matter how carefully you fresh cooked the patty or made sure the cheese was melty and the condiments applied properly and the veggies crisp there was nothing you could do about the bun.
