If not, let me explain what aioli is&#8230;after I Google it because I have no idea what it is.<\/p>\n<p>According to the first search result, aioli is a creamy French sauce made using lemon juice, eggs, garlic, and olive oil. Oooh, fancy! Aioli is also an ingredient found in Burger King&#8217;s new Avocado &#038; Swiss Whopper. Oooh, fancy! Along with an avocado aioli, the limited time only Whopper features a beef patty, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and an avocado spread on a sesame seed bun. <\/p>\n<p>Hey! Wait a minute!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s sound awfully similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2011\/05\/08\/review-burger-king-california-whopper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burger King&#8217;s California Whopper<\/a>, which also has a beef patty, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and an avocado spread (guacamole) on a sesame seed bun. However, while many of the ingredients are the same, the Avocado &#038; Swiss Whopper is a much better tasting burger.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/8344315042\/\" title=\"Burger King Avocado and Swiss Whopper Top by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8212\/8344315042_2f11b77450.jpg?resize=500%2C261\" width=\"500\" height=\"261\" alt=\"Burger King Avocado and Swiss Whopper Top\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The thin beef patty, pale lettuce, tomatoes, and sesame seed bun that make up most of the sandwich didn&#8217;t provide any surprises since it&#8217;s the same stuff you&#8217;d find on a regular Whopper. Also, much like the guacamole in the California Whopper, the avocado spread in the Avocado &#038; Swiss Whopper didn&#8217;t have much flavor and it seemed like it was there mostly as glue to keep the lettuce and bacon from falling out.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the bacon, it was smoky, thick-ish, and somewhat crisp. It was pretty good fast food bacon, but the amount in the sandwich was less than a slice of bacon fried at home, which wasn&#8217;t enough to cover half the burger. As for the Swiss, it surprisingly added some cheesy flavor to the sandwich that doesn&#8217;t get lost under all the other ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27410581@N07\/8343254771\" title=\"View 'Burger King Avocado and Swiss Whopper Side' on Flickr.com\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"328\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8496\/8343254771_dc8c595c30.jpg?resize=500%2C328\" alt=\"Burger King Avocado and Swiss Whopper Side\" width=\"500\" title=\"Burger King Avocado and Swiss Whopper Side\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, again, what makes this burger special is the avocado aioli, which sounds like an ingredient you&#8217;d find on a sandwich from an upscale burger joint or on a Whopper from a European Burger King. The sauce was pleasantly zesty and its flavor reminded me of hot dog relish. It gives the Avocado &#038; Swiss Whopper a unique flavor that makes the sandwich one of my favorite Whopper varieties of all time.<\/p>\n<p><small>* &#8216;a&#8217;ole is the Hawaiian word for &#8220;no&#8221;<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 730 calories, 350 calories from fat, 39 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1510 milligrams of sodium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and 38 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Burger King Avocado &#038; Swiss Whopper<br \/>\n<b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $6.69 (sandwich only)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Burger King<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Wonderful limited time only Whopper.
