Today under the heading of "Why, God, why?": Burger King has introduced a new menu item called the Whopperito. As you might expect, it's made up of the Whopper ingredients (beef, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, onions) but inside a tortilla instead of on a bun. Grub Grade spotted an ad for the Whopperito at a Pennsylvania Burger King, and it's not yet clear whether the product will get a wider release. Some reactions:
- Consumerist's headline: "The End Is Nigh: Burger King Is Testing Something Called The Whopperito"
- Most reactions on Twitter are along the lines of "WTF?!" Sample: "There's nothing in the world I want less than a 'Whopperito.'"
- But one Twitter user points out: "dont act like yall are too good to eat a whopperito yall would f---in do it ironically and enjoy it but never admit it."
