We were surprised by how similar our experiences were but noticed a few key differences.
The portion sizes of the same menu items we tried appeared to be pretty similar. This surprised us — we expected the US versions to be much larger.
We did think the Whopper was slightly bigger in the US, but not by much, and the chicken sandwiches appeared to be exactly the same size.
Mikhaila also noticed some inconsistencies that Erin didn’t experience in the US. For instance, she found there was a lot more lettuce on the UK Whopper and chicken sandwich compared to her spicy bean burger. She also thought the Whopper and spicy bean burger were lacking in sauce, to the point where she could barely taste it.
The meal in the US was also slightly more expensive at $34.25, compared to £25.59, or around $33.68, including tax.
Despite a few differences, we both enjoyed our experiences at Burger King and can see why the chain has expanded worldwide.
We both enjoyed the classic Whopper burgers and thought the original chicken sandwich proved that “less is more.”
