Burger King announces a treat fit for a King to commemorate their 70th birthday

In 1954, a little-known company called Insta-Burger King opened up in Miami, Florida. Flash forward 70 years, and Burger King has become a ubiquitous fast food spot, competing with the likes of McDonald's and Chick-fil-A.

In honor of the seven decades of Whopper-filled success, Burger King has announced a Birthday Pie Slice, which will be available for a limited time to fans nationwide beginning on May 13. The delicious-sounding dessert will feature a creamy-flavored pie filling in a cookie crumb crust topped with rainbow-colored sprinkles, cake bites, and whipped topping.

"As we look to celebrate our milestone birthday this June, we are proud of the legacy this brand has built and on which we stand, and are grateful for our royal Guests who have made it all possible," said Pat Toole, Chief Marketing Officer via Burger King's official press release.

The slice of goodness follows what has already been a successful year in the sugar department for the fast food chain, as they pivot from an ice-cold beverage to a piece of cake that is sure to satisfy the taste buds.

But if dessert is not your thing, the celebration also includes a week's worth of deals available from May 28, 2024, to June 3, 2024, that are great for a king on a budget.

Items such as your basic cheeseburger, Croissanwich, and Whopper Jr., will all have a day of the week where they will be free with a $0.70 purchase or more.

Now, it is celebration time for the millions of Burger King fans that can be found all over the country. As once said in 18th century France, "Let them eat cake." But this time, it's a positive thing, not a dismissive, horrific statement of the monarchy.

Will you be adding this delicious limited-time item to your next trip to your local Burger King?
