Plus, the burger now features a &#8220;more premium bun,&#8221; which was what Lora first noticed. He noted that it feels more substantial and less prone to sogginess than the previous version. Lastly, the burger still comes with freshly cut onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles on top, but is enhanced by a higher-quality mayonnaise. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-20\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"takeout packaging from a fast food restaurant with a burger\" title=\"takeout packaging from a fast food restaurant with a burger\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-1323-jpg-699f6d79c4191.jpg?crop=0.929xw:0.619xh;0.0272xw,0.161xh&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Amanda Mactas<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The new and improved Whopper comes during a time when Burger King is honing in on consumer feedback and reflecting requests back into its menu.
