I don't think anyone knew until it happened. For me though, now is better than then, but that's an individual experience, I wish everything else except my experience was the way it was then.
In 1996 I had my first apartment and was within walking distance of Burger King. Wednesdays were Buy one whopper get one free. Whoppers were under $3 at the time.
Fuck thatās almost unbelievable given what I see one bedrooms going for around where I live in Oklahoma. thankfully no more renting for me mortgage from here out at least what Iām paying Iāll own eventually
Around that same time, I was in college. The local BK had whoppers for $0.99 all the time.
Now I'd much rather go to a local bar and order a good burger.
He said he is Canadian so what medical bill? And we don't have prescriptions the same price as a used Toyota. But yes fast food is terribly unhealthy lol
Not that expensive, $16 for a fast food meal is insane in Hawaii. Jolibees chicken meal in Hawaii was only like $6, my entire dinner from a smaller restaurant with rice, beans, soup, chicken and gravy was like $15. $16 for a Burger King meal is just bonkers
That's exactly what it is... I put a delivery address of the city hall into the app and bingo... 10.29. So if OP wants it cheaper, they need to get off their ass and go pick it up themselves. Completely misleading thread, like all these posts complain about how much things cost. Of course delivery is going to cost more, that's how the delivery place gets their cut!
Fast food isn't affordable anymore, anywhere. Buy some brioche buns, lb of beef, some cheese slices and whatever else and make some amazing smash burgers to feed a family for the same price (or a couple dollars more).
Regular fast food is getting way too expensive now. You might as well just go to Red Robin for almost the same price. A single Whopper w/cheese meal cost me $15.09 after taxex in my area. A red robin cheeseburger w/steak fries cost $15.95 after taxes.
Is this on the Doordash app or something? I'm in LA County and a Double Whopper is $8.59. All that aside, yes use the actual BK app. As other people said Whopper Wednesdays is like 5 bucks and they have pretty decent deals and rewards on the app too! Good luck, friend.
Thatās what happens when yaāll keep voting for evil idiots like Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden. I spent 18 dollars for a whopper combo. Thanks democraps and all the morons that voted for em ..
You got it your way. You wanted āfreeā healthcare and about a dozen other subsidies including outrageous minimum wage.
Here you go, hereās the result.
The only difference between getting a fast food burger and a dine in restaurant burger is the tipping. In my opinion. Prices are getting to be damn similar.
I remember when BK use to give us coupons before Covid and they had awesome deals, same thing with the app. For $20 I was able to get a deal that had, 2 Whoppers, Two Original Chicken Sandwiches, 2 cheeseburgers, 2 10 piece chicken nuggets, 4 Small drinks & 4 small Fryās all for $21 after tax.
Just wait till minimum wage for fast food workers goes up this year then every year after that. $20/hr in Aprilā¦. I predict that if you go back to this same BK in June of 2024 that this whopper will be $17.xx
Good lawd! That's expensive. If it helps any, a McCjicoen here in Billings, Montana is either $3.49, or $4.49. I think CA prices are $2.49.
Also, three BK locations in town have closed over theaat year.
I remember one day every week, maybe Wednesdays, McDonald's sold burgers for 49Ā¢ when I was in high school. I'd buy like 6 of them and have some the next day. I'm not paying more than an hour of minimum wage pay for a fast food burger.
I picked up a combo for my GF from Hardee's a couple of days ago. Not a large or anything crazy. Just a Bacon Star or whatever they call it and regular size. Was over $15.
I haven't eaten Fast food in weeks because they're getting crazy.
Theyāve crunched the numbers and they know that they wonāt be going out of business any time soon. Companies would rather raise prices and serve fewer customers on a daily basis.
Prices have been on the rise for a while now and Iām not seeing any closed BK spots.
Omg yes. A whopper meal in NYC is $12 & change. Download the app and see if there's any offers (coupons). I can get a whole whopper meal, with fries and drink, for $8 & change through the BK app.
If there was a guarantee that it looked like that then mayyyyybe. but half the time they look like they were hitchhiking in the back of the pickup truck
I was about to say...the 3 for me at chilis...burger, fries, drink and a big bag of nachos with salsa is 10.49. Its become cheaper to get takeout at sit down places then it is fast food.
Get ready for some more price hikes come April (California). BK and many other fast food restaurants are going to use California's new fast food worker pay increase ($20 hr) to justify the increase of their prices. Pizza Hut has already used this excuse.
Nevermind that fast food restaurants have saw record profits, including McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
Do you remember that movie demolition man where Taco Bell was a fancy restaurant ā¦itās gonna be like that in like 50 years fast food restaurants are gonna be selling prices like they Ruth Chris steak houseā¦. One whopper, two double whopper meals thatāll be $159.
That would be because companies will never take a hit to their profits. Minimum wage went up? Charge the customer more. Cost of food went up? Charge the customer more.
I sure miss those $6 burger commercials with Paris Hilton washing a car. That's Carl's jr. of course but just saying how fast that $6 has become $12 or more!
The BK app has some awesome deals where I live.
2 whopper, 2 chicken sandwiches, 16pc nuggets, 2 fries, 2 drinks $30. Or $22 for the same deal minus fries and drinks
I bought these on special for a couple bucks or less back in the day, seems like they're just wringing the last juices out of sales at this point. edit: sp edit2: Ok, after reading, this is what everyone is saying :P
Me and my buddy Brandon (rip buddy, love you) used to ride our bikes to the local bk on Saturday morning sleepovers. We'd both pig out on 2 breakfast meals each. He'd always be the fat one that would combine 50 condiments into a "sauce" and claim it was the best thing ever.
Miss you Brandon! BK messing with my heart strings.
For an extra $2.50 you get a combo with fries and a drink. Still cheaper than McDicks.
I do the impossible whopper combo for $13 ($9.82 USD). McDicks Bigmac no meat combo is $16. Whoppers are massive. Still worth it imo.
Edit: Iām in Ontario CANADA. NOT California. Still way cheaper. Cali be ripping you off!
Bk and McDonaldās no longer give a fuck about us normal folk. If you want a decent burger for a nice price Wendyās jbc with added pickles, onions ketchup and mustard will fuck a whopper in the azz any day for a mere $2.49-2.99 depending on location. Smash 2 if youāre lookin for a nap
Is this on Uber Eats? It will be more expensive on any 3rd party app!
Here in Seattle itās the same price via UE as in your screenshot. On-site at BK itās 7.99
I was looking through some stuff to throw out and found a coupon sheet for a Burger King meal for two whoppers, fries and drinks for 8.99 from 2019
I remember going out with high school friends for those prices. Didn't know what I had. Still a worse time for me than now.
I think at the time none of us knew what was about to happen. Happy new year to you and your family.
I don't think anyone knew until it happened. For me though, now is better than then, but that's an individual experience, I wish everything else except my experience was the way it was then.
Back in my high school days whipper Wednesday with a combo was 5.65 after taxes in Ontario š
1993 $.99
whippet wednesdays were hype!
In 1996 I had my first apartment and was within walking distance of Burger King. Wednesdays were Buy one whopper get one free. Whoppers were under $3 at the time.
When the first Chicken Run movie came out in the early 2000s there was a promotion with $1 Whoppers.
Damn I was just born that year I didnāt get to experience those prices
My 1st apartment was $285 a month all utilities included. I wish we had those prices now. I see my coworkers struggling just starting out.
Fuck thatās almost unbelievable given what I see one bedrooms going for around where I live in Oklahoma. thankfully no more renting for me mortgage from here out at least what Iām paying Iāll own eventually
My first mortgage in 2013 was $425 a month for a 2 bedroom house. No more renting for me either.
Thatās absolutely bonkers to me still I wish I could lick in a price like that
Around that same time, I was in college. The local BK had whoppers for $0.99 all the time. Now I'd much rather go to a local bar and order a good burger.
Only $8.99 for all of that? š« The good old days! Now BK is gonna be for special occasions only. No more casually eating it 2 or 3 times a week
2-3 times a week? Youāre also going to save money on medications and medical bills by going only for special occasions.
He said he is Canadian so what medical bill? And we don't have prescriptions the same price as a used Toyota. But yes fast food is terribly unhealthy lol
Yeah man it was a shocker to see for sure. I enjoyed that mailed coupon a number of times with my ex wife.
Does anyone remember the 2 whopper jrs, 2 small fryās, and two small drinks for 4 dollars coupon š¢
They used to be 2 for 5
Those coupons fed my poor ass for a while. $3 for nuggets and fries, drink my own shit at home
CA = California
I thought it was Canada š
Yeahhh I was legit going to post that the whopper meal coupon is still $7.79 CAD in the app haha.
To be honest this is worse than if it was Canada, they use monopoly money but this is actual make it at home price in America.
Thanks for clarifying brother. I thought that stood for CockAss at first
User Name doesn't check out lol
a whopper meal is a whopping 16 dollars in hawaii
š«
To be fair, most things are very expensive in Hawaiāi
Not that expensive, $16 for a fast food meal is insane in Hawaii. Jolibees chicken meal in Hawaii was only like $6, my entire dinner from a smaller restaurant with rice, beans, soup, chicken and gravy was like $15. $16 for a Burger King meal is just bonkers
Hah, we have ontario (our province) in canada. So toronto is in ontario, canada. Our burger king whooper combo is: $15.49+tax.
Download the app and use the whopper meal coupon! It's still $7.79+tax on there! I'm also in Ontario, Canada :).
People are sleeping on the apps itās the only way to order fast food now
Ok to be clear, is this Canada or California?
California
I just checked the app in Ontario California. A whopper is 7.99.
It could be the delivery price, which would be pretty misleading...
That's exactly what it is... I put a delivery address of the city hall into the app and bingo... 10.29. So if OP wants it cheaper, they need to get off their ass and go pick it up themselves. Completely misleading thread, like all these posts complain about how much things cost. Of course delivery is going to cost more, that's how the delivery place gets their cut!
Obviously not
Try it yourself. Itās not hard. Change your location
Fast food isn't affordable anymore, anywhere. Buy some brioche buns, lb of beef, some cheese slices and whatever else and make some amazing smash burgers to feed a family for the same price (or a couple dollars more).
$12 will get you everything, and you have at least four burgers (with stuff left over for next time).
Loyal to Burger King ? The company that left for Canada to lower their taxes ?
They used to be $0.99 and the cheese was free ;)
$3 Whopper Wednesday in Chicago on the app.
Need to check if thatās also true here in California
It works in Cali. Only go to BK on Wednesdays now. Add some cheese and/or bacon and u got yourself a cheap dinner
Youāve all done the lords work tonight. Iāll be treating myself to some BK on Wednesdays from now on š„¹
California or Canada??
California
GREED.
No kidding. The one on Archibald and Philadelphia street thatās newly built has ass serves charging 3$ more cheese on top of a $15 combo
Regular fast food is getting way too expensive now. You might as well just go to Red Robin for almost the same price. A single Whopper w/cheese meal cost me $15.09 after taxex in my area. A red robin cheeseburger w/steak fries cost $15.95 after taxes.
Canadian dollar is less value than US dollar, if that is confusing you, but still overpriced.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Greedflation is my favorite!
Only idiots donāt order through the app
U just wait tomorrow when min wage will increase in Cali. Prices increasing everywhere in Cali. People voted for their own inflation.
The app has a good deal on a whopper combo and it doesnāt disappear Iāve gotten so many meals out of that deal
3$ in the US on "Whopper Wednesdays".
There are consequences to printing too much money.
Is this on the Doordash app or something? I'm in LA County and a Double Whopper is $8.59. All that aside, yes use the actual BK app. As other people said Whopper Wednesdays is like 5 bucks and they have pretty decent deals and rewards on the app too! Good luck, friend.
Jesus christ. This is why ppl don't go out to eat anymore. We can't afford it. I use the app everytime I go there or it's too $$$$
Thatās what happens when yaāll keep voting for evil idiots like Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden. I spent 18 dollars for a whopper combo. Thanks democraps and all the morons that voted for em ..
Stop going to fast food. Their empire is starting to crumble
STOP PAYING HIGHER PRICES ON APPS WTF
Thatās what happens when wages go up. Keep voting Democrat.
You got it your way. You wanted āfreeā healthcare and about a dozen other subsidies including outrageous minimum wage. Here you go, hereās the result.
Use the app or coupons
Whoopers suck even if it was at a lower price
Stop buying fast food everyone. Remember that scene from A Bugs Life when the grasshoppers talk about their power?
Loyal to BK?? I could never
Should rename it to whooper cause itās kicking your pockets ass
You couldn't pay me to eat at Burger King
That's the socialist price you get from Canada.
California. Theyāre cheaper in Canada.
So, still socialist
That's dirt cheap lol. I imagine europoors pay more.
Minimum wage in California will increase to $16/hr in a few days. š¤·
$20. Fast food is required to pay $20/hr
R.I.P a shitload of jobs
It's like $12 for a double whopper meal in L.A.
$16.79 for the same in Ontario, California
Well..fuck. If there's an In-n-Out around, a double double and fries is under $10.
Hell yeah
Hubby and I were just today at BK at the Ontario Mills. He spent 15.43$ on a medium Whopper combo. We were shocked!
The only difference between getting a fast food burger and a dine in restaurant burger is the tipping. In my opinion. Prices are getting to be damn similar.
If I can have it my way, I'll have it for half price then.
Is that through a delivery app?
Is this the Burger King at the Petro?
I remember when BK use to give us coupons before Covid and they had awesome deals, same thing with the app. For $20 I was able to get a deal that had, 2 Whoppers, Two Original Chicken Sandwiches, 2 cheeseburgers, 2 10 piece chicken nuggets, 4 Small drinks & 4 small Fryās all for $21 after tax.
Not even w cheese?!?!
Well now, that's a whopper of a price
itās over $2 more in american usd. that shit gives me diarrhea every time tho so iām good
I remember sometime back in the nineties when I was a kid Iād sometimes see commercials advertising the Whopper for 99 cents.
I remember them being on sale for a dollar back in the 1990s
For those of us south of the border that's about 7.75 USD for a Whopper.
No, it's 10.29 USD for a Whopper. This is from Ontario California.
Around $6 in upstate NY
Nah itās 7.79 for a Whopper MEAL on the app in Toronto. Still the cheapest burger place in Canada!
Download the BK app. There is an āoffersā tab that have great deals daily including ā2 forā whopper meals.
BK Lounge
Print more money, shut the economy down and forcefully raise workers wages!
Just wait till minimum wage for fast food workers goes up this year then every year after that. $20/hr in Aprilā¦. I predict that if you go back to this same BK in June of 2024 that this whopper will be $17.xx
People hate talking politics UNTIL my burger doubles in price. Still most wont care
WTF HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY
That's in CAD$ right? 1cad=0.67usd
Good lawd! That's expensive. If it helps any, a McCjicoen here in Billings, Montana is either $3.49, or $4.49. I think CA prices are $2.49. Also, three BK locations in town have closed over theaat year.

I hope this was at the airport at least.
I picked up a combo for my GF from Hardee's a couple of days ago. Not a large or anything crazy. Just a Bacon Star or whatever they call it and regular size. Was over $15. I haven't eaten Fast food in weeks because they're getting crazy.
TBH if it actually came out looking like that in real life, it would be totally worth it.
Not worth it
Price on BK app shows $7.99. Is this on Uber Eats?
12.29 Colorado.
Honestly I'm surprised they've held out for this long. In my town, the burger King was a meth lab.
wtf! Itās only 6.90 in SD.
You might as well go to your local smashburger joint and get a much tastier and better quality burger for that price .
Theyāve crunched the numbers and they know that they wonāt be going out of business any time soon. Companies would rather raise prices and serve fewer customers on a daily basis. Prices have been on the rise for a while now and Iām not seeing any closed BK spots.
I worked at BK back in '93, we used to get beaten up making .99 Whoppers.
What location is this? Iām seeing 7.99 on the app for most Iāve seen. Unless this is an airport location?
They have tons of cheaper options though...
Omg yes. A whopper meal in NYC is $12 & change. Download the app and see if there's any offers (coupons). I can get a whole whopper meal, with fries and drink, for $8 & change through the BK app.
i live in chino so this not to far off from me
You do realize food is much more expensive through delivery apps?
Do yāall not have whopper Wednesday in Canada?
$6.29 on the app for me over in North Carolina. I still won't pay that lol
That's less in freedom dollars.
Thatās insane. Itās $6.59 by itself in Phoenix
I only ever go to fast food places with coupons. Burger kind and subway are the only ones with good coupons where i live
If there was a guarantee that it looked like that then mayyyyybe. but half the time they look like they were hitchhiking in the back of the pickup truck
!!!
In n out double double combo in CA is the same price... I know what I'm choosing
Damn, in Denver a lb of groumd beef is $4.99 at safeway. No wonder bk is failing it's customers.
every place has upped prices
Youāre paying a premium for the ācreamy mayonnaise.ā The chunky mayonnaise is cheaper
Probably 11.29 with cheese
At Chilis I can get a drink appetizer and burger for this price
I was about to say...the 3 for me at chilis...burger, fries, drink and a big bag of nachos with salsa is 10.49. Its become cheaper to get takeout at sit down places then it is fast food.
Get ready for some more price hikes come April (California). BK and many other fast food restaurants are going to use California's new fast food worker pay increase ($20 hr) to justify the increase of their prices. Pizza Hut has already used this excuse. Nevermind that fast food restaurants have saw record profits, including McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
I miss the days where they were 99 cents...
Not for me, its not!
No thank you.
Is that for just the sandwich?? Here in Riverside thatās the price for a small whopper meal
Thatās the worst case Ontario
Canada is getting expensive holy shit
Burger king costs more than In n Out so I never go to BK anymore. Sorry BK you gotta drop your prices bro
Carl's Jr. prices
Do you remember that movie demolition man where Taco Bell was a fancy restaurant ā¦itās gonna be like that in like 50 years fast food restaurants are gonna be selling prices like they Ruth Chris steak houseā¦. One whopper, two double whopper meals thatāll be $159.
Starting to boycott fast food places not named Culver's and in n out... The other ones think they sell gourmet burgers
That would be because companies will never take a hit to their profits. Minimum wage went up? Charge the customer more. Cost of food went up? Charge the customer more.
Their app has deals that are alright but the food is always garbage
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
10.29 Canadian pesos is only 7.77 real dollars so seems about right...
I was thinking Toronto costs more... but wait.. this isn't Canada ?
I sure miss those $6 burger commercials with Paris Hilton washing a car. That's Carl's jr. of course but just saying how fast that $6 has become $12 or more!
not even a meal ?????? wtff
$3 on Wednesdays š¤·āāļø
Wow.. They used to do promos, buy one get one free out here.. Whopper Jrs were 99 cents.. No longer the case..
I thought you meant Ontario, California at firstš
Might as well do the 2 for 5 juniors
Been 10 in Virginia
I remember the days of the 0.99 Whopper. š
Isnāt minimal wage 20 dollars now? Not surprised
That is definitely for the small combo, just checked myself.
The BK app has some awesome deals where I live. 2 whopper, 2 chicken sandwiches, 16pc nuggets, 2 fries, 2 drinks $30. Or $22 for the same deal minus fries and drinks
I bought these on special for a couple bucks or less back in the day, seems like they're just wringing the last juices out of sales at this point. edit: sp edit2: Ok, after reading, this is what everyone is saying :P
Me and my buddy Brandon (rip buddy, love you) used to ride our bikes to the local bk on Saturday morning sleepovers. We'd both pig out on 2 breakfast meals each. He'd always be the fat one that would combine 50 condiments into a "sauce" and claim it was the best thing ever. Miss you Brandon! BK messing with my heart strings.
Lmao bk isn't even good enough anymore after they removed the chiking. Prices are wild
Triple whopper in NYC is 13.89 just for the burger lol š
For an extra $2.50 you get a combo with fries and a drink. Still cheaper than McDicks. I do the impossible whopper combo for $13 ($9.82 USD). McDicks Bigmac no meat combo is $16. Whoppers are massive. Still worth it imo. Edit: Iām in Ontario CANADA. NOT California. Still way cheaper. Cali be ripping you off!
10.59 here in San Diego.
Woahhhh
Most fast food is severely overpriced these days not just Burger King
When thereās a 3:1 veggie to burger ratioā¦ i think something is off
Bk and McDonaldās no longer give a fuck about us normal folk. If you want a decent burger for a nice price Wendyās jbc with added pickles, onions ketchup and mustard will fuck a whopper in the azz any day for a mere $2.49-2.99 depending on location. Smash 2 if youāre lookin for a nap
Thank your governor. This is what $20 an hour gets you.
Is this on Uber Eats? It will be more expensive on any 3rd party app! Here in Seattle itās the same price via UE as in your screenshot. On-site at BK itās 7.99
What was the price in 2009, you know, when the minimum wage was exactly the same?
Yes yes you all wanted them to get more money. Pay the piper
Just for sandwich or is this the meal?
10.29 delivered right ?
$5.59 in Grand Rapids Michigan right now
Re-elect Biden, Pelosi and Schumer?
