Let’s not fart round with this intro. BK deserves to take a royal stroll of disgrace Cersei-style. And I am simply the Septa to take it on this stroll down shit avenue! No, it is not for sticking “-ito” on the tip of “Whopper”, though I do image Peggy Olson crying into her pillow after I take into account that advertising resolution. It is for an offense a lot, way more severe than that.
WHERE ARE MY WHOPPER DOGS?!
On the heels of the dismal assessment I had assigned to the Additional-Lengthy Buttery Cheeseburger, I circled and awarded the Whopper Canine an A+, the one merchandise I’ve provided that grade to in almost a 12 months of truthful and balanced food-bloggery. After which, simply earlier than I might have a second chew, the King slapped it out of my arms and the Whopper Canine bit the mud.
DAMN IT, KING! YOU HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE DOG HOUSE THEN YOU KICKED THE DOG OUT AND HEADED STRAIGHT BACK IN!
And as an additional flick within the nads, they left the common grilled canine and chili cheese canine on the menu- they reduce out Clint Eastwood and left us with The Unhealthy and The Ugly!
Now, they roll out this so-called WHOPPERITO, simply to rub salt in my wounds, and presumably some cumin and oregano as effectively.
Alright, alright. I’ve had my druthers and settled down a bit. To be sincere, I used to be actually fairly excited to check out the Whopperito, however clearly the Whopper Canine left some huge sneakers to fill.
Mainly, what I used to be picturing was the BK model of the McDonald’s cheeseburger snack wrap from 5 years in the past. Keep in mind these little guys, earlier than they got here out with the entire huge “wholesome” McWrap with like cucumbers and fancy leaves and stuff? If I keep in mind appropriately, the primary technology had three choices: cheeseburger, and rooster (crispy/grilled). The rooster ones have been legit, which led to its pure evolution, the aforementioned McWrap, however the cheeseburger one? All they did was take the contents of a McDouble and put them in a tortilla! Then they began getting actual goofy about it- they did the Mac Wrap, the Angus Wrap, the Wrapper’s Delight… it was a darkish interval of McDonalds historical past I check with as to the Wrapture.
The Whopperito’s promo image had additionally left some ambiguity about what I used to be getting myself into. The white onions sort of seemed like mayo, the tomatoes like ketchup, the cheese like mustard. And it gave no indication of the dimensions. So I purchased two, absolutely anticipating to woof the little man down in a number of bites.
Have a look at the dimensions of this lump! That is precisely what my abdomen would’ve seemed like if BK had left the Whopper Canine on the menu, stretch marks and all! And for $2.99?! Truthful commerce!
I used to be instantly happy on the first bite- nothing right here however greasy floor beef accompanied by the sturdy style of chili powder, which is just about how I make my burritos at residence. My second chew revealed some crunchy white shit and a few soggy pink shit, which did extra to range the feel slightly than the flavour, however there was little bit of crunchy inexperienced shit that stood out (and it certain as shit wasn’t lettuce).

| PICKLES |
I do not know why, however I assumed these pickles labored wonderfully- they reduce by way of the single-note spicy beef taste like Valyrian metal. Swing away, King Robert Burgeratheon!
One minor goof right here is a scarcity of bitter cream. The spicy taste comes from a condiment BK refers to as “creamy spicy sauce”, however the former descriptor is severely missing. I believe there ought to be one thing else within the combine right here apart from the pickles to maintain this beefy spice wad from being too uniform. Additionally, I did not detect sufficient of that smokey chemical taste to justify placing the phrase “Whopper” wherever close to this. On a aspect notice, It would be a neat experiment to attempt certainly one of these with BK’s stacker sauce as a substitute of the creamy spicy one.
However all in all… crawl on out of the canine home, King. You may journey this assessment all the best way again to the fort, as a result of I am providing you with a B+. This spicy meat pocket (my nickname in HS) comes at an excellent worth and its minor flaws might simply be coated up with a bitter cream packet. Anyone hear ringing? Sounds just like the Taco Bell loss of life knell to me.
