However, the McDonalds vs. Burger King dilemma has always been somewhat of a grey area – namely we just CAN’T decide.
So we were pretty excited this week when Burger King suggested that the two franchises join forces in order to create the ultimate burger – the McWhopper.
Burger King suggested that the McWhopper, a delightful hybrid between the Big Mac and the Whopper, be served on National Peace Day in the states to raise awareness of the day of cease-fire.
