That’s how you treat customers like royalty.

Sure you could just lift up the bun, but why bother when Burger King has now printed the ingredients that you already knew were on your sandwich ­­right on the wrapper?

Genius.

In its latest marketing gimmick, the fast food chain is advertising that its Whopper “now features no colors, no flavors and no preservatives from artificial sources,” according to a press release.

For a limited time, Burger King is putting the “Whopper Recipe” on front of the wrappers, which reads: 100% flame-grilled beef, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles, onions and a sesame seed bun.

For a limited time, Burger King will be sharing the "recipe" of its iconic hamburger right on the wrapper.
