Today only, lucky fans of the Whopper in Times Square, NYC, can turn on the airdrop or nearby share function for a chance to receive a code for a free Whopper dropped directly to their smartphone to claim and then redeem on the BK app, while codes last. And, if you’re not in NYC, you still have a chance to get your hands on a free Whopper – a limited number of codes will also be available @BurgerKing on Instagram, while codes last, because BK wants everyone to have a chance to get in on the royal celebration.

The first Whopper was flame grilled 65 years ago in 1957 — that’s 65 years of the unmistakable taste of a flame-grilled beef patty with fresh ingredients including juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, sliced white onions, and topped with creamy mayonnaise, ketchup, and crunchy pickles, all on a toasted sesame seed bun. Whether you hold the pickles or add a slice of American cheese, with thousands of ways to eat a Whopper, Guests can have it their way.

For Guests who prefer a twist on the classic, the Whopper is known for its crave-worthy innovations. Just this year, BK introduced the Southwest Bacon Whopper and most recently, the Ghost Pepper Whopper. Here’s to the next 65 years of flame-grilled goodness!
