A bigger burger
In this super-sized world, a burger -- even one called a Whopper -- just isn't big enough.
For that real tummy-bustin' sensation, you need to double up, or so goes the logic at Burger King, which introduces the Texas Double Whopper this week. The sandwich boasts two meat patties, bacon, Amercan cheese and jalapeño peppers.
Free lunchtime samples will be offered at Burger King outlets in Waianae tomorrow, Ewa Beach Friday, Mililani Saturday and Pearl City Sunday.
