Burger King revamps the Whopper

(CNN)– Burger King is giving the iconic Whopper’ its first makeover in nearly a decade by tweaking the bun, mayo, and packaging after customer complaints.

Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, the chain said the Whopper will now come on a premium bun, with a creamier mayo, and will be served in a clamshell box instead of paper wrapping.

The changes come after years of complaints about smashed burgers that were falling apart.

The revamped burger is rolling out this week to more than seven-thousand restaurants nationwide.

The company said it was careful not to go too far and offend Whopper fanatics.
