Burger King's latest new item is taking a stab at Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., which is still reeling from a string of foodborne illness outbreaks.

The Whopperito, which puts Whopper burger ingredients like beef, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and pickles inside a flour tortilla, will be sold nationally beginning Aug. 15. A queso sauce replaces the mayonnaise from the hamburger.

I mean, I guess I would try it. But it seems so out there that it sounds unappealing.

 

[HStallion]

That was really the best name they could come up with? The Whopperito?

 

[BronsonLee]

What the fuck

 

[SexyFish]

....Yeah Chipotle ain't going to give a fuck about that diarrhea.

 

[backflip10019]

Fucking what

 

[statham]

wheres the rice?

 

[BoosterDuck]

why is Burger King taking aim at Chipotle when its rep was ruined last year

 

[robotrock]

wheres the rice?

Sorry, this is an authentic burrito.

 

[Dad]

fuckin pickles in a burrito

 

[Bubba T]

This reminds me of the Mac Wrap at McDonalds years ago. It was actually pretty good.

Don't know about this though.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

wheres the rice?

The best burritos I've had when didn't have any rice either. Rice is just filler when they're too cheap to add more of the good stuff.

Not that that's an excuse for this monstrosity.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Try this when your burger meat doesn't taste like shit

 

[King Gilga]

I mean... I'd try it.

 

[Speevy]

I love to shit, but not that much.

 

[Ashby]

Calories?

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I'm going to try this.

 

[smurfx]

 

[Tom Nook]

Fuck It! Stuff that Whopper into a Tortilla!

 

[Kyrios]

Someone got paid to think of that name.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

who used a tortilla to wipe their ass?

 

[Ambient80]

That's it? That's the saddest food I've ever seen.

Were you expecting anything else from a Whopperito?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Do want.

 

[Hugstable]

That's it? That's the saddest food I've ever seen.

I don't know whether this or the sad macsnack wrap is worse

 

[Forerunner]

fuckin pickles in a burrito

Pickles are GOAT, so they can go with most foods!

 

[see5harp]

I don't know whether this or the sad macsnack wrap is worse

That's pretty depressing. The GAF cheese sandwich is the only thing worse I think.

 

[Speevy]

How about this?


A hamburger patty covered in pizza wrapped in a burrito on top of a fried chicken salad that is composed of chili cheese nachos.

 

[Timeaisis]

The world we live in confuses me.

 

[Slime]

Burger King really is the worst.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

What the fuck is this.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT.

That is the saddest fucking thing I've seen all day.

I'd sue.

 

[shiftplusone]

burger king takes aim at chipotle, shits pants

 

[meltingparappa]

Is someone going to actually say "I'm kinda in the mood for some barbacoa from chipotle. Nah, actually what I really want is a macerated ground beef patty with some soggy cooked lettuce."

 

[Warnen]

Just had one of these thing and it was fucking gross, just stick with the Whopper

 

[tebunker]

This is just as bad as Pizza hut and their million different gimmick pizzas.

Maybe BK should just focus on making their core products better, offer better quality, value and service and realize it is a long game. Chasing lightning in a bottle is such a short term goal. Build up customer and brand loyalty over time with good customer orientied business practices, and you don't have to worry about chasing Chipotle's customers. Who the hell thinks this is the kind of thing those customers want anyway?

I amost feel like the Whopperito is representative of a lot that is wrong with Corporate America today.

thanks for your sacrifice

 

[skybald]

Doesn't Bruget King know their place in the fast food chain? People either go their for a particular deal or their is nothing better around (I.e. Any of their fast food joint). They aren't going to go their because now they have a 'burrito'. And they won't stop going to Chipotle because of this thing.

People go to Chipolte for a slightly higher tier of food. The choice is never Chipotle or Burger King, it would be more like Chipotle or Red Robin.

 

[Hex]

Oh yeah, Chipotle is terrified of this thing

 

[Ray Wonder]

Looks like every inside of a burrito ever

I just had one and it was fucking great. A lot better than I thought it was going to be. Though, I also think that Chiptole is overrated.

Chipotle is still fast food. I'd put it on the same tier as like Dominos pizza or something though

 

[Instro]

Why would anyone want this?

 

[Stinkles]

Chipotle is still fast food. I'd put it on the same tier as like Dominos pizza or something though

As far as I can tell the chipotle ingredients are all "real" meat cheese and produce assembled on the spot, whereas I have had dominos where melted processed cheese granules were still visible and the pizza base had coloring to make it look more baked.

 

[Snkfanatic]

....Yeah Chipotle ain't going to give a fuck about that diarrhea.

Yeah they already got their customers covered in that department.

 

[doctorcdcs]

wonder if they'll bring this to canada


yes i will eat it

 

[Tansut]

Had this yesterday. Can confirm.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

I love pickles as much as the next guy... but in a burrito?? Go home, Burger King, you're drunk!
