I did get to wear a cool Miles Morales Burger King crown though. It’s fun, and it will remind you of Spider-Verse, and it isn’t the worst fast-food promotion I’ve seen. This is a regular Whopper with red food dye. The Burger King I went to was in Tampa, Florida, so no Spider-Verse dining room for me.ĭon’t walk into this with any grand expectations. This will include interactive designs, dining room and drive-thru theming, and an “Instagram-able area.” This will be limited to restaurants located in New York City, France, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, and selected others. Spider-Verse Themed RestaurantsĪccording to a press release from Burger King, the Spider-Verse promotion will also include selected restaurants getting Spider-Man makeovers. Ice cream is ice cream, you either love it or hate it, but the candy topping was phenomenal. The candy is red and black, which is how they get away with calling it a Spider-Verse Sundae. The dessert is a cup of soft serve ice cream with candy toppings. To make my Spider-Verse themed lunch complete, I ordered Burger King’s Spider-Verse Sundae.

But wait – there’s more! Fancy some Spider-Man ice cream?Įveryone is talking about the Spider-Verse Whopper, but don’t sleep on the Spider-Verse Sundae.

Whether that’s a pro or a con depends on if you like Whoppers in the first place. As I ate this, there were times I forgot it was a Spider-Verse Whopper, and thought I was eating one of their regular sandwiches. Burger King promised a Spider-Man themed Whopper, and that’s exactly what you’re getting. The red bun and black sesame seeds don’t add anything to the flavor, and that’s okay. Have you ever had a regular Whopper? Then congratulations, you know what the Spider-Verse Whopper tastes like. It’s eye-catching and looks good enough to eat. The theming could be more distinctive, but it does its job. Plus, red is pretty much one of the primary Spider-Man colors anyway. (But enough bathroom talk in an article about eating.) While it’s true that black is the color most associated with Miles' superhero costume, his costume does have a tinge of red on it. I have to imagine that Burger King had this in mind as they workshopped the Spider-Verse Whopper and took steps to avoid the same problems. It’s possible that Burger King opted for a red bun to avoid comparisons to the black bun used in their 2015 Halloween Whopper which alarmed consumers when the black food dye caused their waste to have alarming (but ultimately harmless) colors. This seems odd, since red is the dominant color of the burger, while Miles’ costume is predominantly black. According to a press release from Burger King, this is meant to evoke Miles Morales’ Spider-Man costume. The Spider-Verse Whopper has a red bun (thanks to food dye) and black sesame seeds.

I want a full Spider-Man experience, profits be damned! Presentation If you’re going to theme a burger after Spider-Man, why not go all the way? Make the wrapper red and black as well! Maybe the cost doesn’t justify the ends, but let the Burger King accountants worry about that. It wasn’t until I unwrapped the packaging that I noticed the Spider-Man logo on the bottom: it was pretty much hidden under the wrapper flaps. My Spider-Verse Whopper was packaged in a white wrapper that seemed to match the standard ones used with their regular sandwiches. That was unsettling, but nevertheless, I persisted.įor such a colorful burger, I was surprised to see it packaged in such a bland way. As I placed my order, the cashier looked at me cautiously and asked if I really wanted to try that red bun. Prices will vary depending on your market, but I ordered a large Spider-Verse Whopper meal, and a Spider-Verse sundae, which cost me $11.92. The Spider-Verse Whopper is priced the same as a regular Whopper, which seems reasonable, as it would’ve been easy to put some unnecessary upcharge on this experience. As a Spider-Man fan, I naturally had to try this. This burger will be available at restaurants nationwide through June 21.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swings into theaters on June 2, which means it’s time for another grand superhero movie tradition – fast food tie-ins.īurger King has launched a special Spider-Verse Whopper ( and special Spider-Verse themed restaurants in a few, special locations), with a red bun and black sesame seeds. However, if you like chaos in your fast-food meals, Burger King is ready to help you have it your way.

Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant and found yourself wishing the buns were red? Probably not, because that would be completely random and chaotic.
