Although this time, they are not French fries. Instead, it&#8217;s Pickle Fries in the new Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper that&#8217;s part of the Million Dollar Whopper Contest.<\/p>\n<p>The offering features a 1\/4 lb flame-grilled beef patty, lettuce, creamy pickle ranch, fried pickles, bacon, and Swiss cheese on a sesame seed bun. As you can see, this description I copied and pasted from the Burger King website calls them &#8220;fried pickles,&#8221; but they are definitely the same Pickle Fries the chain rolled out with these Million Dollar Whopper Contest finalists. And there was a good number of them in my order.<\/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\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-66005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I enjoyed Burger King&#8217;s Pickle Fries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/11\/14\/burger-king-pickle-fries-review\/\">in my review of them<\/a>, I wrote I wish they had a more robust dill flavor or a pickle ranch sauce. Well, one of those solutions is offered with this burger. The pickle ranch sauce has a pleasant mild dill taste and a mild ranch flavor. It does enhance the fries instead of muting them, maybe because a lot of it was applied to my order. However, even with both ingredients, I wouldn&#8217;t say this Whopper has enough pickle flavor to make me dill-irious. Also, the combination of the wet ingredients\u2014lettuce and pickle ranch\u2014makes the usual crispy exterior of the fries into something slightly soggy. However, the snap of the pickles was still noticeable.<\/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\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-66006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Swiss cheese adds a salty creaminess, but I feel it\u2019s there more to prevent the bacon from sliding out. Speaking of ingredients falling out, the Burger King lettuce is gonna Burger King lettuce and try to escape from your Whopper, but whatever amount sticks around, they do somewhat replace the crunch that is lost from the soggy pickle fries. The flame-grilled flavor from the beef patty and the saltiness and smokiness from the bacon also make themselves known with every bite.<\/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\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-66007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop4.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop4.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bkfrpickranchwop4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, while I enjoyed Burger King&#8217;s Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper, I wouldn&#8217;t give it my vote for the Million Dollar Whopper Contest.
