Mark this one under, Liv is a fatty.... a genius fatty, but a fatty none-the-less.

Some people just love Whoppers. Shannon and her family have some internal genetic need for Whoppers, and more than a few family stories have come from within the walls of a Burger King. In fact, I think the first meal Shannon's father ever took me out to, after we (me and Shan, not me and Dad... cuz that's er weird.) began dating, was, Burger King.

So fast forward to 2009. Everyone is out of work, food is expensive, and Burger King is offering their Double Cheeseburgers for .99, right? "Rubbish" you say! "I don't want no double cheeseburger, I want a Whopper." I want it with cheese, and lettuce, and tomatoes.... and since I'm special, I always want mustard. But you can't afford it. They're $2.99 and you have only $2.00 and that left-over £5 note from your last vacation to Europe.... I suppose you could bargain with the order taker... hope they're planning a vacation? Other wise you're going to have to resort to my Ghetto Triple Whopper...

    1. Buy 1 Whopper JR for .99

    2. Buy 1 Double Cheeseburger for .99

    3. Lose one of the burgers lids, place one on top of the other, and stand back in awe of your new creation....

    4. Chuckle and laugh at your $1.98 Triple Whopper with Cheese!!!!

...and what's more, it tastes better than a "original" Whopper. It's never going to be quite as good as a McDonald's quasi Big Boy but if you like Whoppers, and are really, really hungry... then this is the ticket.

Putting your own labor into the product... you know, that could be a nice little cottage industry for you Liv. Invest $2 in a sandwich that folks on the street would gladly pay $5 for, black market. Or perhaps gray.

Do that enough times, you'll be able to retire to a nice little estate near Cardiff. :twisted:

Two patties. It's a double not a triple. The whopper is the burger, not the bun.

I cannot wait until to tomorrow when I will go out and "build" the exact sandwich you have described! I love your idea!

I feel sorry for Burger King because it would go broke if it had more customers like me. I always sneak in a can of Pepsi and thus I avoid buying a drink. BK must make a fortune on drinks because it probably loses money on a "Triple-whopper Junior with double cheese" for only two bucks! That's the best deal anywhere! I think you deserve the Nobel Beef Prize for your idea!

What's amazing is if you eat the two sandwhiches seperately... you feel like you're eating two .99 burgers... but if you put them together... you feel like you're actually eating a "real burger" just like the rich people can afford.

A few short years ago it cost BK an average of 11 cents for a medium fountain coke. That included any refills. At that time the whopper without cheese cost was around 42 cents. Add 2 slices of cheese then another 9 cents. Medium fries were about 14 cents cost.

A cup of coffee was about 4 cents cost on average.

I'm sure costs have increased since that time. Maybe significantly. Even if the cost has doubled you still get the general cost picture. Average food cost per restaurant (the ones that were run efficiently) were around 22-25 percent of sales.

Now you know why they want you to buy drinks and fries.

Out of college I was an area operations manager for non-corporate franchise BKs. It was an interesting job for a while.
