Customers are excited after witnessing the competition between fast-food chains Burger King and McDonald's.
After McDonald's announced plans for a $5 meal for low-income customers, Burger King is also rolling out its own $5 meal deal.
In this battle of the burger giants, fans are comparing the quality to the average fast-food standard.
Burger King launches a $5 value meal.
Burger King is set to launch its $5 'Your Way Meal' in early June. BK allows customers to choose from three options, including sandwiches, accompanied by nuggets, fries, and a drink.
A BK spokesperson said: 'We are bringing back our $5 'Your Way Meal' as agreed upon with our franchisees back in April'
BK plans to introduce an almost identical $5 meal bundle to McDonald's, starting June 25.
Previously, McDonald's announced a $5 meal bundle with four main items.
According to McDonald's launch, the meal includes either a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, fries, a soft drink, and four McNuggets.
After two fast-food chains launched special offers for their customers with $5 meal deals, fast-food enthusiasts are highlighting several benefits of Burger King's deal over McDonald's:
On social media, many fast food chain fans share their thoughts about the big meal deals from Burger King and McDonald's.
Many discussions revolve around the fact that it's not just a meal deal. They suggest that Burger King's promotion will run for several months, unlike McDonald's one-month offer.
Additionally, someone claimed that the meal deal is expected to be available at nearly all Burger King outlets.
Fans also appreciate the longer availability period, ensuring more opportunities to enjoy the value meal.
One person said: In addition our local Burger King gives out Crowns and tells you "You Rule". Overall the sandwiches taste much better then McDonalds and haven't been reduced to slider sized like McDonald's has done over time.
A second wrote: Burger King has way better food. I don’t eat fast food but if I had to, I would eat Burger King over McDonald’s.
While a third commented: Wendy’s has been doing 4 for $4 for years. BK and Mc need $5 and only for a limited time and are getting all kinds of publicity for it? Sad.
And their burgers are much better quality than McD's. I have always wanted to try and Big Mac but with a flame broiled BK burger instead of the disgusting cardboard McD's uses. I bet that would be de... Another added.
But that's not all. Burger King is testing two additional value platforms, slated for release in the second half of the year.
Fast food chains point out that Burger King's $5 value meal is better than McDonald's version, not only in terms of quality but also due to McDonald's high prices, which leave customers furious.
Previously, a viral video on TikTok showcased McDonald's $16 meal, sparking outrage among viewers.
The video has the caption: 'But $16? $16 for a burger, a large fry, and a drink? It's just crazy!'
Influencer Christopher Olive expressed shock at the steep price of a burger, large fries, and a drink. Customers lamented that affordability seems to be slipping away.
The video quickly went viral, with many customers expressing their disappointment that the fast food chain was no longer as convenient or affordable for the average American.
Recently, both chains have been competing for customers by offering a $5 meal showdown, sparking debate.
Tell me you're Team Burger King or Team McDonald's.
