Burger King Whopper and Angry Whopper
The Whopper was created in 1957 by Burger King co-founder James McLamore and originally sold for 37¢ (US$3.27 in 2014).
McLamore created the burger after he noticed that a rival restaurant was having success selling a larger burger. Believing that the success of the rival product was its size, he devised the Whopper.
The name was chosen because he felt that it conveyed “imagery of something big”. Major fast food chains did not release a similar product until the McDonald’s Big Mac was introduced in 1967, followed by the Burger Chef Big Chef in the early 1970s.
Initially the sandwich was made with a plain bun, however, that changed when the company switched to a sesame-seeded bun in the early 1970s. In 1985, the weight of the Whopper was increased to 4.2 oz (120 g), while the bun was replaced by a Kaiser roll. This was part of a program to improve the product and featured a US$30 million (approx US$66 million in 2014) advertising campaign featuring various celebrities such as Mr. T and Loretta Swit. The goal of the program was to help differentiate the company and its products from those of its competitors. The Whopper reverted to its previous size in 1987 when a new management team took over the company and reverted many of the changes initiated by the previous management team. The Whopper sandwich’s Kaiser roll was changed back into a sesame seed bun in 1994, eliminating the last trace of the sandwich’s 1985 reconfiguration
