Whopper vs. Big Mac

Whopper because it has more veggies.

DragonmasterDan · 10/25/2016, 09:46 AM

In theory the larger, flame broiled whopper should be the superior burger. But in practice more often than not Whoppers are sloppily assembled without the same standards and consistency found at McDonalds. This is a draw and really depends on luck of which McDs or BK you happen to go to and who is making in.

Big Mac. That special sauce is divine

Double Big Mac - it's a pattie for each chamber of the heart

Perfect analysis. You couldn't get a more correct answer.

There's 1400 McDonald restaurants in France, and 45 Burger King.

Each time I can eat a Whooper is like a Christmas feast.

LostFlunky · 10/25/2016, 12:48 PM

I'm sayin' Whopper because if you want a better Big Mac - order the Double Cheeseburger dressed as a Mac. If another burger "disguised' as a Big Mac is actually better than the Big Mac, than how can the Big Mac be better than a Whopper...?

I agree that Whoppers are too often so sloppily thrown together that I've actually stopped eating them.

bartre · 10/25/2016, 12:48 PM

All I can see is a very drunk David Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger now.

...I really want a burger now.
what have you done

MotherGunner · 10/25/2016, 01:06 PM

(Insert comment about GOP vs DP)

On a serious note, my answer is "yes."

Medic_wheat · 10/25/2016, 01:07 PM

I don't like either very much.

geise · 10/25/2016, 01:13 PM

I vote Wendy's Tripple!

johnnykonami · 10/25/2016, 01:26 PM

Between these two, Big Mac. I don't even eat at McDonald's anymore though, not for some time. I am more likely to end up at Wendy's than any other fast food joint in that category, so I agree with Geise. But even more than that, I choose Five Guys or Fatburger above them all!

ClodBusted · 10/25/2016, 02:02 PM

Whopper all day long. Even Ms Clodbuster prefers Whoppers over Big Macs.
Although I think the Big Mac is quite tasty, too.

Quote from: guest on 12/21/2014, 09:25 AM

Yes, you can has.

ToyMachine78 · 10/25/2016, 02:06 PM

Whopper fo sho. It's gotta have cheese though.

HailingTheThings · 10/25/2016, 05:13 PM

Neither.

Wendy's Bacon Mushroom Melt.

Yum. (do they even do this anymore?) lol

blueraven · 10/25/2016, 05:14 PM

Fuck both of those.

Big Kahuna Burger.

Have a Big king. Best of both worlds.
Chicken royale with cheese trumps though.
Never been in a gbk otaking. Any good? Dirty burger is ok. Nice burgers shit chips & too expensive.

DeshDildo · 10/25/2016, 11:07 PM

Wildfruit brings up a good point... if Whopper is better than Big Mac why did BK "invent" the Big King. Not only did they copy the Big Mac but, they even copied half of the name. Now... even the Big Mac is a copy of the original Big Boy sandwich. When in Ohio, tartar sauce is the "special sauce" on your Big Boy and it's the bomb so I choose Big Boy.

Side note: When I was on the road as an HVAC Service tech I worked at all of the local BK's from 2 different franchises. After seeing what goes on behind the scenes, Burger King is ruined for me for life.

The big king has a smaller beef patty (regular hamburger patty) which doesn't have the same texture and consistency off the grill as the larger whopper patty does when properly prepared.

I've never been big into beef burgers, although I haven't been many times I do like the burgers at gbk.
In general I much prefer a chicken burger, often I'll get a KFC Fillet Tower burger, has a hash brown in it FTW.

Fillet tower is awesome. You just made me hungry. I don't like the current style of KFC chips though.

McDonald's did the same thing in the 90s with the Arch Deleuxe, which was their answer to the whopper. It was a huge flop.

The big and tasty was their version of the Whopper. The Arch deluxe was a whole different monster.

SuperGrafx · 10/26/2016, 08:30 PM

I have no real answer.
Some days I prefer a Whopper. Other days I prefer the Big Mac.
Depends on the occasion.

jperryss · 10/26/2016, 08:48 PM

Big Mac. I only eat McDonalds a couple times a year and it's always a Big Mac, fries, and an orange Hi-C. There's something about that combination that is absolutely perfect.

Whoppers are good though. I loved the Angry Whoppers they were selling for awhile.

esadajr · 10/26/2016, 08:51 PM

a big mac is too small, i have to order two. As per the whopper, either the double or the tripple whopper. That being said, my vote goes to the whopper

Dicer · 10/26/2016, 09:45 PM

My skank of a mom inhaled big-macs when she was preggers with me, so I have an affinity for them. That said the whopper is still superior.

SuperGrafx · 10/26/2016, 09:59 PM

I do recall last year around Halloween, BK offered the Whopper with a BLACK BUN and A1 sauce.
The bun was just colored with dyes, but the A1 sauce added an interesting dynamic to the sandwich.

Maybe they did invent it, but the nearest one to me is like 800 miles away. Unsurprisingly, I have never been to Big Boy. I imagine that most others on the forum are in the same boat.

DragonmasterDan · 10/27/2016, 10:48 AM

Thousand Island burgers are pretty common around the country besides the Big Mac, Big Boy or Big King.

csgx1 · 10/27/2016, 12:33 PM

Neither sound appetizing to me. Back in my high school days they used to have the Big Macs, 2 for $2 or Whoppers for $0.99. My friends and I would often dare each other to see how many we could eat. Like a dumb ass, I almost finished 4 Whoppers and was sick. Never again after that. It's also the reason why I don't like thousand island dressing.

I remember when they had promotions of Big Macs for $1 when I was a teenager. A couple of us would buy $10 worth and once we were all full and sick we'd have a food fight...

Heh, I had a similar situation in high school when Big Macs were 2 for 3 involving bets on how many I could consume. The answer was 8 and the taste of thousand island sticking with me for days.

We had em all over the place when I lived in Ohio. They are mostly a norther/midwest chain. Fantastic!

Related to this topic I finally tried the Whopperito. It's TERRIBLE. It makes me miss the old Big Mac wrap McDonalds used to sell.

WoodyXP · 10/28/2016, 11:17 PM

I prefer the Big Mac. Whoppers have a slight ammonia-like smell that turns me off.

o.pwuaioc · 10/29/2016, 09:11 AM

I'll take Five Guys or In-N-Out instead any day. Heck, I'd take Checkers over either, if I had to. At least Checkers has good fries.

Sarumaru · 11/03/2016, 08:20 PM

I voted Big Mac but more for the sake of nostalgia. They used to be better. They are both shit now and I'd much prefer a Big Carl for my thousand island burger fix on the cheap.

jetfire13 · 12/19/2016, 05:27 PM

Just remembered how much I loved the Big King after reading this thread and found out that BK doesn't have it anymore. Maybe it was replaced by the Bacon King which is their version of Wendys Baconator. I'm so sad though. The Big King was awesome. My favorite from any restaurant right now is the Green Chili Double from Whataburger. Holy shit, is it good. Never knew what I was missing til I came out to AZ.

They have Big King in Canada - they are on the 2 for $5 menu and suck shit. I think they are using up their old stock of freezer burned Whopper Jr patties on these things...

JoshTurboTrollX · 12/20/2016, 05:03 PM

I picked Whopper, but really haven't had either one in many moons.

Also, this is fighting street so:

What is so green about this burger? Are you required to drive through in a prius?

blueraven · 01/03/2017, 05:30 PM

I have this friend at work that absolutely loses her fucking shit every time waterburger is mentioned. I think she's from Texas. I literally have no clue what she's talking about, but if it makes people nostalgic to the point of insanity then there must be something there.

whattaburger? this gets weirder every day.

Also I nearly lost it when I walked by "Pho King 4" the other day. Fuck yeah Fighting Street.
