We\u2019ve done a bunch of appearances at Burger Kings this season. I know this, there are tons of race fans out there that love Whoppers, that\u2019s for sure. I think they\u2019re going to really like this paint scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The WHOPPER\u00ae was introduced to America in 1957 and sold for 37 cents. As part of the celebration for the iconic sandwich, Burger King guests nationwide can now enjoy two, limited-time menu items in commemorative retro-style anniversary packaging: Wisconsin White Cheddar WHOPPER\u00ae Sandwich, and ANGRY WHOPPER\u00ae Sandwich.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4994\" title=\"83whopper\" src=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper.jpg 800w, http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4995\" title=\"83whopper2\" src=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper2.jpg 800w, http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper2-300x121.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4996\" title=\"83whopper3\" src=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper3.jpg 800w, http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper3-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4997\" title=\"83whopper4\" src=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper4.jpg 800w, http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2012\/11\/83whopper4-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Burger King&#8217;s Whopper is celebrating its 55th birthday this year.
