Burger King is turning up the summer heat â and doing it with flavor, feedback, and fire-grilled flair. As part of its bold âYou Ruleâ campaign, the burger giant is rolling out a brand-new âWhopper by Youâ program on July 15, empowering guests to help shape future Whopper creations.
And thatâs not all…
To kick off this delicious new era, Burger King is dropping a limited-edition BBQ Brisket Whopper â a saucy, smoky, meaty masterpiece inspired directly by customer requests.
đ„ What Is âWhopper by Youâ?
Launched as a national initiative, “Whopper by You” invites BK fans to submit and vote on new Whopper combinations â a fresh take on their classic “Have It Your Way” slogan. The goal: give customers real influence over menu innovation and keep the Whopper brand exciting, customizable, and culturally relevant.
Burger King CMO Joel Yashinsky says:
“Weâre excited to kick off the âWhopper by Youâ platform with the BBQ Brisket Whopper, a flavor profile that our Guests requested… We are very excited to answer with an overwhelming âYou Rule.ââ
