According to The Sun, Burger King customers have been raising concerns about a new menu offering this week. The fast-food giant launched a line of spooky-themed items on October 10, inspired by characters from The Addams Family. The menu features a variety of creative options, including Gomez’s Churro Fries, Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake, Thing’s Rings, and Wednesday’s Whopper.
Marketing Highlights
Zahra Nurani, Vice President of Marketing Communications at Burger King, emphasized the excitement surrounding the collaboration, stating, “Guests are going to get a nice surprise with The Addams Family partnership,” in a recent press release. One of these surprises included a promotion offering a free Wednesday Whopper on October 17, drawing significant attention from fans of the franchise.
The Wednesday Whopper
The Wednesday Whopper features a striking purple potato bun topped with black sesame seeds, making it stand out. The burger is assembled with a beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, mayo, ketchup, pickles, and onions. Many customers rushed to their local Burger King to take advantage of this promotional offer.
Customer Frustrations
However, not everyone received the anticipated free sandwich. TikToker Blessedbyboosie (@blessedbyboosie) shared her experience in a recent video, revealing that she was charged $13.98 for her order, which included the Wednesday Whopper, medium fries, and a medium soft drink. She expressed her frustration, saying, “It was not free — yeah, I know it spread around all over social media that it was supposed to be free today.”
Understanding the Requirements
So, why the discrepancy? The catch is that the free Wednesday Whopper is exclusively available to Royal Perks rewards members of Burger King. Additionally, customers must order the special burger through Burger King’s mobile app rather than in-person at their local restaurant.

Promotions for the Month
This promotion is part of a broader campaign associated with The Addams Family menu, running from October 10 to November 10. Customers interested in benefiting from future deals should ensure they download the Burger King mobile app and sign up for Royal Perks to avoid missing out on savings.
Pricing Information
The exact price of the Wednesday Whopper remains unclear, as costs can vary by location. However, a single-patty Whopper typically retails for around $7.89.
Recent Offerings and Price Changes
In addition to the Addams Family menu, Burger King has also recently generated buzz with its “Big Dip” tub of ranch dressing, offered for free with any Whopper purchase. Moreover, a recent coupon revealed that prices for a popular meal deal have increased by $6 over the past two years, prompting further discussions among customers about the rising costs of their favorite fast-food items.
