Burger King Targets Your Morning Coffee Habit

Burger King Expands Its Beverage Lineup with New Iced Coffee and Fruity Lemonades

Burger King is taking a bold step into the morning coffee market by expanding its beverage lineup this summer. The fast-food chain is introducing new ice-cold options that are sure to appeal to coffee lovers and those looking for a refreshing drink. Among the highlights is the Iced Coffee with Cold Foam, available in four varieties, each priced at $2.99. This addition marks a significant shift for Burger King, as it moves beyond burgers to offer a more diverse range of beverages.

The Iced Coffee with Cold Foam comes in several flavors, including:

• Vanilla Cold Foam: A brewed iced coffee mixed with cream and vanilla-flavored syrup, served over ice with a creamy foam topping.
• Mocha Cold Foam: A coffee base blended with cream and mocha-flavored syrup, topped with a rich cold foam.
• Plain Cold Foam: A classic option featuring brewed coffee with cream and a smooth cold foam finish.
• Black Cold Foam: A version without cream, but still topped with a creamy foam.

These options give customers more choices when it comes to their coffee experience. For those who prefer something fruitier, Burger King has also introduced two new lemonade flavors: the Strawberry Lemonade and the Mango Peach Lemonade. Both are made with real fruit juice and natural flavors, offering a sweet and tangy twist on traditional lemonade. The Strawberry Lemonade is priced at $3.39, while the Mango Peach Lemonade costs $2.99.

Collaborations and New Menu Items

In addition to its beverage upgrades, Burger King has partnered with the popular anime series Naruto to release limited-time King Jr. Meal Toys. These collectible figurines feature characters such as Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and others. Customers can grab one by purchasing a Burger King Jr. Meal.

Another standout item is the BBQ Brisket Whopper, which features a slow-cooked BBQ brisket topped with crispy onions, American cheese, and sweet & golden BBQ sauce. It's stacked on a ¼ lb flame-grilled patty and includes the usual lettuce, tomato, and mayo. For those seeking a smaller option, the Whopper Jr. is also available.

Burger King is also launching its Whopper by You platform, allowing customers to submit their own custom Whopper creations. Through this initiative, guests can design their dream burger with spicy, cheesy, or over-the-top combinations. The first submission can earn you a special Royal Perks offer, ranging from a $0.01 Whopper every week for a year to free burgers with a purchase. You can share your ideas at BK.com/WBY.

Wendy’s Spooky Collaboration

While Burger King is focusing on summer refreshments, Wendy’s has announced its own seasonal collaboration. In honor of the second season of Wednesday on Netflix, the chain is rolling out the Meals of Misfortune across the U.S. by August 4, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Guam by August 11.

Wendy’s is also running an interactive game called Escape from Wednesday's Woe, where users can win a $10,000 prize through the Wendy’s app.

Fall Menu Trends

As summer fades, other chains are preparing for fall. Starbucks is bringing back its Pumpkin Spice Latte on August 26, while Dunkin’ will launch its Fall Menu on August 20. The menu includes items like the Cereal N' Milk Latte, Mixed Berry Daydream Refresher, and Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte. Dunkin’ also offers fall bites such as Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns and Glazed Pumpkin Donuts.
