The first Burger King popped up in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1954, with the Whopper making its debut three years later. Since then, the chain has rivaled McDonald’s and other giants on its road to fast-food stardom. Burger King has been a staple for my family since before I could walk. When I was a kid, BK even helped promote the release of Shrek with a “Choose the Ooze!” campaign that included green ketchup. I miss those days.
