Remember the good old days when fast food prices weren’t outrageous? As it turns out, those “good old days” aren’t too far in the past. In fact, one customer just unearthed a coupon from May 2022 that listed a Whopper Mal For Two for just $8.99, and made a TikTok about it, comparing it to the price now—$14.99, and calling out the chain for its “huge jump” in price. Keep reading for more information.
User @Quill_Chaser on TikTok posted a video to their page showing a coupon from May 2022. The coupon lists the Whopper Meal For Two, which includes 2 small Whopper Sandwiches, 2 Small French Fries, and 2 Small Soft Drinks for a total of $8.99.
“Look at this,” they began the video, holding up the coupon. “$8.99 coupon for a Whopper Meal For Two.” They then zoomed in on the expiration date, which is listed as May 1, 2022, and said, “And now it’s $14.99! That is a huge jump.” And to be sure, they added a screenshot from their Burger King app for the same meal, but listed for $14.99 instead.
