The home of the Whopper announced on Wednesday that from Feb. 28 through March 1, customers can get a free Whopper or vegetarian Impossible Whopper with a purchase of $3 or more on their mobile app.

We dont believe in charging guests more when theyre hungry, Burger King wrote in a press release announcing the Whopper freebie.

Surge pricing? Well, thats new, the company added. Good thing the only thing surging at BK is our flame!

"We have no plans to do that and would not raise prices when our customers are visiting us most," the spokesperson said in a new statement. "Any features we may test in the future would be designed to benefit our customers and restaurant crew members. Digital menuboards could allow us to change the menu offerings at different times of day and offer discounts and value offers to our customers more easily, particularly in the slower times of day."

Every so often BK has a really good deal that's hard to ignore so I buy from them only to realize why I don't eat there in the first place.

Only for a couple days, but yeah, the optics are at least good.

Oh, and don't believe Wendy corporate when they aren't and never considered it. Leaking something via social media is a tried and true way companies test the waters.

You know what

I don't normally go to BK. But if they're going to do this to throw shade at Wendy's, I'll give them some of my money just 'cause I don't want Wendy's to get away with this.

I always like to see it when the competition pounces on fuck ups like this. I'm not gonna use some fast food app though.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

All the apps do 'free' sandwiches really often

That being said - fantastic marketing and messaging. GG, King

Good PR, but I'm not going to download an app and set it up for a free whopper.

This was a genius move at the time, but now Sony is also going after used game sales and game sharing.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

not really. It's just discounts. BK isn't increasing the price of their food at random times unless you think stuff should always be offered at a discounted rate

Most of the restaurant apps are awful and you're lucky if they work.

Most don't have anything to offer but points when you buy stuff. McDonald's sucks but at least they have buy one get one free and other deals that save you money right away.
