I want to call the new Fiery Bacon Whopper the Annoyed Whopper. Not quite angry and not quite calm. Although, if I remember correctly, the Angry Whopper wasn\u2019t that angry. Angrywho, this comes with 1\/4 lb flame-grilled beef with crispy fiery-seasoned bacon, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and a creamy fiery sauce n a toasted sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of BK\u2019s Fiery Menu that lets you have it your way if that way is with a bit of heat. We\u2019ve already covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/07\/23\/burger-king-fiery-bacon-royal-crispy-chicken-sandwich-review\/\">two<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/07\/23\/burger-king-fiery-strawberry-sprite-review\/\">five<\/a> menu items with various heat ratings, with this Whopper in the middle. But using my personal five-point heat index, I\u2019d rate it a two. Its mild heat isn\u2019t anything that would make me put my mouth under any ICEE spigot behind the Burger King counter, and it might\u2019ve been spicier without the vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Because most of the accoutrements are standard Whopper fare (patty, bun, lettuce, and tomato), I won\u2019t go too deep into them. The two special additions\u2014the Fiery sauce and fiery-seasoned bacon\u2014do make themselves known, not only with their spiciness but also with their flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-64138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The creamy sauce had a great smoky and peppery taste that also brought a little heat. Being creamy probably prevented it from getting too spicy, but I appreciate that because it allowed the sauce\u2019s flavors to come through. Surprisingly, the seasoned bacon seemed to be spicier and more peppery than the condiment, but it\u2019s a heat that doesn\u2019t take away from the bacon\u2019s smokiness. Unfortunately, while BK claims the bacon to be \u201ccrispy,\u201d the strips I got were chewy. But I\u2019ll forgive them for that because I enjoyed their taste.<\/p>\n<p>As for the pepper jack cheese, I didn\u2019t notice any heat from it, but it added a pleasant mild cheesiness. But I imagine its creaminess also prevented this from getting too mouth burn-y.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-64139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bkfierywhop3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I enjoyed Burger King\u2019s Fiery Bacon Whopper, my favorite bites were the ones towards the end without the lettuce and tomato. With those last bites, I could really taste the seasoning and sauce, and it made me wish there was a BK Fiery Stacker with just the beef patties, fiery bacon, fiery sauce, and bun. Maybe for next year\u2019s Fiery Menu, Burger King?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Fiery Bacon Whopper was a pretty tasty burger. However, how much I paid for it took some of the taste out of my mouth. Yes, as I will mention at the end of this review, I live in a part of the country where things can get expensive, but even at eight dollars, it would\u2019ve been pricey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $10.29*\u00a0(sandwich only)<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong>  8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 800 calories, 47 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 130 milligrams of cholesterol, 1690 milligrams of sodium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 16 grams of sugar, and 43 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
