Unfortunately, there are no other differences other than the bun to the regular Whopper. They both have a 1\/4 pound flame-grilled beef patty topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, sliced onions, and mayonnaise. Those last ingredients are white, like a ghost. Oooooh, spooky!!! But the bun isn&#8217;t just white, it&#8217;s also white cheddar-flavored.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, if you&#8217;re reading this, you\u2019ve experienced a Whopper before and know it&#8217;s a damn good fast food burger. The tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and onions give the burger a nice crunch while the ketchup and mayo give some creaminess that seems to bring all the components together without overshadowing each other. The standout, though, is the beef patty with a nice chargrilled flavor and those grill lines that seem to trick your mind into thinking it\u2019s even better than what you\u2019re tasting. With all that being said, how is the special bun?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Burger-King-Ghost-Whopper-2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 2\" title=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, I wish I had something more exciting to say, but it&#8217;s merely ok. Is it super cheesy? No, but I can tell it&#8217;s not a regular sesame seed bun. The flavor comes through at the very end of chewing, and it&#8217;s a nice capper to all the other ingredients. But you do have to really think about it to taste the cheesy nuances of the bread. It&#8217;s kind of like if you think you saw a ghost and you wanted to see it again. To do that, you would have to squint and work hard to try to get a glimpse of it again. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the color is just satisfactory as well. The photos I took are a little misleading, because it\u2019s definitely white. However, is it scarily white like a ghost? Not at all. Also, the fact that coming after a jarring black bun and glorious neon green one, it\u2019s frankly lackluster. A steamed Chinese bun is even whiter than this. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Burger-King-Ghost-Whopper-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 3\" title=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I appreciate Burger King\u2019s constant innovation and doing fun promotional things. However, for some reason, this iteration screams (like what I did there?) of desperation of a phoned-in effort (remember the opening scene of Scream? Ha!). Between the extremely limited release at only 10 locations across the country to the single special component that didn&#8217;t even make an impression, it was a ghastly (ok, that&#8217;s the last one, I promise) disappointment for me.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Burger-King-Ghost-Whopper-4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 4\" title=\"Burger King Ghost Whopper 4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As I was finishing my burger, I was thinking back to the billboard at the restaurant where it slyly said at the bottom that it was, \u201cAPPROVED BY 11 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE.\u201d I got a glorious chuckle out of that tidbit, but then it was followed by immediate sadness as I realized the actual product was nowhere near as clever or as exciting as the marketing on that window cling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.00<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (Not available on BK&#8217;s website, but here&#8217;s the nutrition facts for a regular Whopper) 660 calories, 40 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 980 milligrams of sodium, 49 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 1 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burger King might be the, excuse the pun, king of fun in the fast food burger world.
