Let's settle the debate once and for all: Whoppers or Big Macs?
- Thread starter Kitsunelaine

Whopper is the better "burger" if you're looking for a traditional hamburger. Though if you're really looking for that, you may as well go with more upscale choices.
Big Mac is the more unique burger. It just has a taste, like it or not, that is different. It's not everyone's thing, but for those who like it, nothing quite hits that spot when you want to have a Big Mac, you need to get a Big Mac.
So I guess in a weird way, even though the Whopper is probably the better "burger", the Big Mac is the better "flagship" or iconic sandwich because it's very specific to McDonalds (like it or loathe it).

The Whopper for sure, but..
What about Burger King's "Big King"? It's literally Burger King's version of a Big Mac. (They had to take out that middle section of bun, I think they got in trouble over it, it used to look like this)

It's just missing the middle bit of bun, which it used to have til they got in trouble. The entire campaign was "This is our version of the Big Mac", and heck the name still implies it. The sauce is very very similar too. This is what it was before they were forced to change:
If only the Big Mac wouldn't become a mess by the end. It's impossible not to have it desintegraré in your hands. The middle bun will always end up sliding out of its place because of how slippery it all becomes with the sauce.
We all know the best fast food chain burger is In N Out's but out of these two? Probably the Whooper because if the aforementioned problem with the Big Mac.

This is literally the first I've ever heard of it. That being siad, it's not fair to compare anything less than the flagship burgers!
How can you ever prefer big mac with those pathetic meat crepes they call steaks ?
I feel like I've had more bad Whoppers than bad Big Macs, so it makes me hard to decide. I enjoy borh.
Big Tasty loses points for the amount of sauce they put in. I have to scrape it out before I can eat one of those.

Really? I'd say the personal hero of the Whopper is the fact that the veggies actually help define the taste.
Indeed. I mean, it doesn't get any more special than Thousand Island dressing straight from the bottle.
i'd rather compare the whooper to McD's quarter pounder or deluxe quarter pounder, seems more appropriate. Cause I swear they keep shrinking the big mac patties... they are barely 3mm thick now.
I'd still pick the big mac though. something is weird with burger king... just tastes off. but McD's rarely disappoints me
if I could have in-n-out/five guys/any other similar joint instead I'd prefer that. But unfortunately they just don't have locations all over the place like McD and Burger King do.

That and they're not avaliable at all where I'm from so I couldn't make an informed poll.
I go to Burger King for the chips, not the burgers. McDonalds has the better burgers I think, unless KFC is selling the Dirty Louisiana then they can both piss off.
Depends on the mood. Both are absolutely delicious. Whopper is better out of the fridge than Big Macs tho so...
gotta say. this man has taste! Filet O Fish!!!!"Why not have both?"
