Burger King is giving away (almost) free Whoppers on Tuesday, but instead of pulling up in one of its royal drive-thrus, you’ll have to go to a McDonald’s to get it first. No, this isn’t a hunger-induced mirage.

Here’s the deal: The fast food chain is celebrating its newly revamped mobile app by serving up Whoppers for just one cent each as part of what’s dubbed the “Whopper Detour.” The catch is that you have to use the app to order your one-cent Whopper while in the immediate vicinity of a McDonald’s restaurant. Clever, huh? The way it works is simple, even if you’re not well-versed in cheeseburger tech.

Burger King geofenced McDonald’s locations all across the country, so when you open the Burger King app close enough to one of Mickey D’s decidedly Whopper-free eateries during the promotion, the app will unlock the one-cent Whopper deal. After you place your order, you’ll be “detoured” away from McDonald’s to the nearest Burger King to pick up your penny prize.

Burger King seriously has the worst marketing department and management on the planet. Blockbuster laughs at them.

Man it would suck to franchise these types of places. I know they are trying to up transactions, but the franchisees will be eating that cost.

Sounds like time to go to Sherwood at 12 then since BK and McD are right next door to each other.

Siegen at 10 would work too though they are a little further apart.


Still a fricking dumb promotion by BK.

Big day for me. I’ll be getting several at different locations. I plan to eat on them throughout the week.

Maybe they should invest in non-shitty employees and not geofences

It's petty, and a vast majority of those that enjoy BK tend to be petty as well.

Denham location on Rushing Rd. The two "literally" share a property line. Does BK have working ice cream machines?

Order fries at Mickey D’s

Get the burger at BK

Makes sense


Of course I won’t be partaking as Mortimer has prepared a wonderful roast duck with confit d’orange over wild rice with steamed bok choy on the side.

BK is pretty bad, but not as bad as McDonalds.

I think the problem with most fast food is that they try and get too creative with super duper triple bacon onion mushroom bbq brisket burgers on garlic bread bun.

When you seemingly go out of your way to hire the dumbest people you can find, it WILL eventually catch up with you.
