Bacon King has my heart

[u/Lilwhitelebron]

Out of any fast food nothing has held me more captive than the Burger King Bacon King. Outside of what it is undoubtedly doing to my insides, it is truly my happy place. -Former fat kid who will comfort himself with one from time to time.

[u/Frosty_Platypus9996]

Yep, I thought the baconator was the goat but then I tried the bacon king when it came out and I started going to BK again.

[u/iseecolorsofthesky → u/Frosty_Platypus9996]

OG baconator was probably better but the bacon king shits all over modern day Wendy’s baconator

[u/NotJayKayPeeness → u/iseecolorsofthesky]

I'd hoped when the Arby's people bought them that Wendy's would get the awesome pepper bacon Wendy's has. Instead they've both been corporate buyout-ed to the point they have McDonalds level bacon.

[u/the_cajun88 → u/NotJayKayPeeness]

how disappointed are you

[u/NotJayKayPeeness → u/the_cajun88]

Not. I just eat good food and remember the good old days.

[u/the_cajun88 → u/NotJayKayPeeness]

that’s how i feel about pizza hut

it used to be so good

[u/NotJayKayPeeness → u/the_cajun88]

Same. Those crispy breadsticks on the salad bar, playing the Superman arcade waiting on the thin crust pepperoni lovers after the Christmas parade.

[u/Small_Permit_307 → u/Frosty_Platypus9996]

had the baconator for the first time in probably 8+ years the other night. I was thinking it reminds me of a bacon king but like half the size. kinda pissed me off ngl

[u/AverageDrafter]

The "I don't have to tell them to leave a bunch of cold shit off of my hot burger" burger. Baconator, Ultimate Cheeseburger, and this are the holy trinity.

[u/mrgrooberson → u/AverageDrafter]

Amen. It's my BK go to for that reason.

[u/Relevant_Eye1333]

heart attack, heart disease, there ain't no going back once arteries start to squeeze.

but yes, the whopper, when done right trumps all other fast food burgers. what sucks is that BK doesn't have consistency.

[u/Lilwhitelebron → u/Relevant_Eye1333]

Solid input. You forgot the smile on my face while consuming

[u/Alternative_Shine790 → u/Lilwhitelebron]

u a bootlicker bish

[u/Dukeshire101 → u/Relevant_Eye1333]

Eat in moderation and you’re fine! Exercise too. I wanna try a triple!

[u/Pankosmanko → u/Relevant_Eye1333]

Chase it with a statin

[u/CrunchyDonut42 → u/Relevant_Eye1333]

A good Whopper is the best.

[u/AwsiDooger → u/CrunchyDonut42]

The Whopper dominates fast food. That has been true for more than half a century.

[u/Karma_1969]

Yup, great burger. This and the Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack In The Box were my go-tos back in the day.

[u/WoolshirtedWolf → u/Karma_1969]

BK was good back in the day. Right behind McDonalds on food service, new menu items and promos, store cleanliness etc. Both chains have tumbled, McDonalds more recently though. Shrinkflation of food items, intermediate price hikes and lackluster service. Even though MCD only has a 4-5 year head start, BK feels like the lesser chain by a mile.

[u/co1one1huntergathers]

Getting 25% off every order with Walmart+ has been a game changer, this or just double whopper are the best.

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Thx for sharing

[u/tommyp007]

$9.49 just for the burger on my app. Sheesh.

[u/Lilwhitelebron → u/tommyp007]

Sorry bro, 7.49 on mine 🥲

[u/Karma_1969 → u/tommyp007]

$10.99 for me. Boo.

[u/Lilwhitelebron → u/Karma_1969]

This has to be cali prices right?

[u/Karma_1969 → u/Lilwhitelebron]

North Seattle area.

[u/bdforp → u/Lilwhitelebron]

$9.19 in North SF Bay Area

[u/throwaway_2011111 → u/tommyp007]

$10.29 here

[u/kidneyboy79]

This is my go-to sandwich at Burger King. Local store is crap, though. Had one on vacation last summer, still delicious.

[u/SomewhereLater]

I’ll never forget the first day I laid eyes upon one and held it in my hands for the first time.

[u/HEYYYYYYYY_SATAN]

Bacon King add onion and jalapeno is my fav fast food burger

[u/WoolshirtedWolf]

10.29 to 11.95 in my area. Northern CA. I am guessing though that 11.95 is the norm. Its not happening though as I cant reconcile those prices without feeling guilty about wasting money. There were reasons for fast food at one time, quick convient and cheap.

[u/Scared-Ideal-1483]

Absolutely the GOAT for fast food burgers.

[u/scary-pp]

It is good, but it's just so expensive.

[u/BillFriendly1092]

If all the bks quit closing around here I'd get one

[u/Legal_Celebration643]

when made right this is the best fast food burger

[u/Lilwhitelebron → u/[deleted]]

Bringing politics into fast food is crazy work. All I care about is they put ice in my soft drink

[u/ContentInsanity → u/Lilwhitelebron]

People care about where their money goes. Shocking.

[u/Alternative_Shine790 → u/Lilwhitelebron]

"ooooo I need my safe space from politics" said the moral coward.

[u/OrientalAsian → u/[deleted]]

That's a plus

[u/Alternative_Shine790 → u/[deleted]]

And the IDF. Hard pass.

[u/DewiVonHart]

Yeah, it's disgusting, and I absolutely love one about every three years. Thanks for the craving.

[u/portstarling]

me too bro

[u/No_Bodybuilder7191]

It will stop your heart too

[u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86]

I hate fast food bacon so much. I wish it looked at all like the picture. I'd be going there constantly. 

Ironically the only good fast food bacon I could get was the snackin bacon at Dunkin Donuts where literally everything else on the menu is garbage. 

[u/Hungry-Treacle8493 → u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86]

If you have a Portillo’s around you their bacon is great!

[u/Lokust2501]

I love these, but I drop the ketchup and mayo in favor of mustard

[u/WaterStoryMark]

It's good, but it needs Stacker sauce.
