But it wasn't just the freebie that had burger lovers buzzing.
The chain confirmed that the Whopper had changed for the first time in years, with juicier beef, a fluffier glazed bun, and fresh-cut tomatoes and onions.
Katie Evans, Chief Marketing Officer at Burger King UK, said at the time: 'We know our fans love the Whopper, so we've been listening… and making it taste better than ever.'
With new snacks, returning legends and even better burgers, fans will want to act fast — before these tasty deals and limited-edition bites are gone.
The food giant first launched the Gourmet King collection in June 2024.

One such person said: "Fantas look good."
Another added: "Can't wait to try them all."
A third wrote: "Omg blue raspberry is my fav!!!", while a fourth said: "All these look banging."
Earlier this month, rivals McDonald's launched its first-ever Breakfast Saver Menu.
The bargain meals launched in selected branches across the country with bites starting from as little as 79p.

‘Downsize, make money and have fun': the retirees moving to the city
Claire Carter has been selling country houses for 24 years, and she's noticed a sea change in attitudes. Twenty years ago empty nesters would downsize from a big country house to a village. 'They no longer move to villages, they move to cities,' says Carter, head of country houses at John D Wood & Co. 'They want something that's socially more interesting, with everything on your doorstep.' The dream of retiring to a bungalow in a sleepy seaside town or peaceful village is looking increasingly out of touch. Retiring to a city, after all, makes sense. Public transport in the countryside is notoriously poor, waiting times for GPs in rural areas are terrible and the best hospitals are in big cities. Living near adult children is another draw. Cities are also full of life. Henry Sherwood, founder of the Buying Agents, moved a retired couple from Cheltenham to Islington, north London. 'Their approach was that when you retire you have more time on your hands to do the things you enjoy, so why move to an area where there is less to do?' Older people also have increasingly younger mindsets. 'Most of my clients are older or retired age,' Carter says. 'And they've got Pelotons in the garage. One client, every time I ring him he's playing padel. They're more active, they're more social. It's so different now. It's a whole new life for them. So instead of moving to a bungalow when your health isn't good, they're getting ahead of the game: we're going to downsize, get some money out of this and have some fun.' One of Carter's clients, the empty-nesters John Dryden, 62, and his wife, Louise, 52, recently sold their five-bedroom house in four acres of East Sussex. John retired from running his travel business in November and Louise has retired from catering. In January they bought a three-bedroom, 1,700 sq ft apartment in the city of Brighton & Hove. It has two terraces and overlooks a busy park. They moved in May and have a spring in their step. 'Moving back to a city, it's amazing, it's buzzing,' John says. 'We go down to the park, it's all families, people playing tennis, people walking dogs. Stuck out in the country, we had lots of friends, but you don't always see people day to day.' 'The first night we moved in here, we ordered in from an Indian restaurant, and it was delivered bang! Twenty minutes, beautiful food. Last night we had Thai delivered, we have a Waitrose around the corner, everything is extremely easy.' The couple didn't want to be slaves to their garden. 'We've got seven tennis courts below us now, we're very active, we play padel … And we wanted the buzz: to get back into the bars, restaurants, theatres and exhibitions, cinema. Bring it on.' They've got rid of one of their two cars. 'We plan to cycle more, walk a lot more. We're walking to the supermarket rather than driving.' The average price for a two-bedroom flat in Brighton & Hove in 2024 was £314,400, according to Hamptons. John declined to say what they paid, but came out ahead financially from downsizing, leaving them enough to enjoy retirement and travel. They go abroad every winter and wanted a home that's easy to lock up and leave. And they reckon their flat is 40 per cent cheaper to run than their old house, but also big enough to accommodate their two adult children — and future grandchildren — when they visit. Other retired people are opting for bigger cities. According to a 2023 study by Age UK, there are almost 1.4 million older people (over the age of 60) living in London, the capital's fastest-growing demographic. A 2021 survey found a 15 per cent increase in the number of over-65s retiring to inner London in the past decade, according to solicitors Bird & Co, who used figures from the Office for National Statistics. Over-50s made up 8 per cent of all people moving into London from across Britain in 2022, according to Hamptons and ONS. Leafy outer boroughs like Havering, Bromley and Bexley have the highest percentage of over-60s, but central areas like Kensington & Chelsea and the City are in the top ten. Shaun Hargreaves Heap, 73, and his wife, Lyndsey Stonebridge, 61, recently moved into the heart of the capital. After their children left for university, they sold their five-bedroom house in Norwich, where he has lived for 40 years. In January they bought a two-bedroom, 960 sq ft flat in Bloomsbury for £960,000 from Greater London Properties. • Bloomsbury named one of the best places to live in London 2025 Hargreaves Heap, an economics professor, still works two days a week at King's College London, and his wife still works at University of Birmingham. 'I'm well past retirement age but academics really never stop working,' Hargreaves Heap says. 'Although there were work considerations, we made a conscious choice that we would like to be in central London because of what it offers in retirement. It's very cool for my wife to be able to use the British Library. For me, I can walk to King's, all the major galleries, all the major theatres, museums. And Bloomsbury has an amazing amount of green space, with so many squares. Russell Square is a wonderful place for seeing lots of people enjoying themselves.' They frequent the shops, cafés and restaurants of Marchmont Street and Lamb's Conduit Street (the Italian Ciao Bella is their favourite). And they walk to the Waitrose and Curzon Bloomsbury cinema in the Brunswick Centre. • It's not downsizing, it's 'rightsizing': how to move later in life He couldn't see themselves retiring to the usual retirement enclaves. 'In a seaside village, you just don't have theatres, galleries and museums. As you get older, you sort of appreciate the ability to see what the human species is capable of.' George McKerracher, 65, and his wife, Di, 60 have always been city people. George retired ten years ago from his job as a senior director at Asda, and Di two years ago as chair of a health company. Until recently, they lived in a three-bedroom 1,800 sq ft penthouse with a terrace in the centre of Leeds (it's now for sale for £1.095 million with Zenko City Living). To be closer to family, they've bought a three-bedroom duplex in a listed townhouse in the West End of Glasgow, for which they paid over £800,000. 'Glasgow is a fantastic city,' George says. 'In the West End, the university is there, the botanic gardens, it's a cultural hotspot, with all the restaurants, coffee shops, cinemas. Di and I have breakfast out three times a week. The only thing is it rains 100 days a year, but the airport is a 20-minute Uber ride away.' Why not retire to a peaceful village? 'We're not ready for that. We're still youngsters at heart. We are very active. We've got lots of friends. We walk a lot. We go to the gym three times a week. We travel. We have annual Bupa checks. I don't like the word retirement. When Alex Ferguson retired, he said, I can tell you one thing I'm not going to do: buy a pair of slippers. I identify with that.' • Priced-out, stressed-out creatives are fleeing London for Glasgow McKerragher still dabbles in business and investing. 'But we'd had enough of the cut and thrust and have a whole list of other things that we want to do. If we don't do it now, when will we do it?' Apart from crime, the case against retiring to cities is the high cost of urban property. Carter says her clients usually come out in the black because they are downsizing. 'Most people want to walk away with change, to help the kids out or put a bit in the pension pot, and cover moving costs,' Carter says. 'I had clients who sold a chocolate-box house in the countryside in three acres for £1.8 million and bought a terrace in Clapham [south London] for £1.5 million.' While rural and seaside locations are still the most popular overall for retirees, the retirement home industry is noticing a shift in sentiment. James Lloyd, Director of Policy at Associated Retirement Community Operators, said: 'Integrated Retirement Community operators are responding, with a new trend toward urban developments clearly observable in places like London, Chester and Bristol. While country locations remain popular, we think that in ten years, there will be an Integrated Retirement Community in every town centre.' It's a far cry from the old days. 'Back then, every bungalow that came on the market, you knew who you were selling to,' Carter recalls. 'If I said to some of my clients now, here's a bungalow, they'd laugh at me. That's not what they're looking for. They want something modern, interesting, with more life going on. They're not just downsizing, waiting for the end.'

Reading 'want to give back to the fans'
Reading chief executive Joe Jacobson has said that he and others at the club want to "give back to the fans" and "bring them good news" regarding new contracts and signings. After Rob Couhig's takeover was completed, former Wycombe player Jacobson was announced as CEO, forming part of a fresh ownership group at the Royals. The 38-year-old has been brought in with the first task of convincing a number of first-team players to sign new deals to stay at the club. In May, Reading offered new deals to 11 players and so far just one - goalkeeper Joel Pereria - has agreed to re-sign. Since Couhig's arrival, only Pereria and midfielder Lewis Wing have signed new deals."We're competing with other teams that want our players," Jacobson told BBC Radio Berkshire. "We're working hard behind the scenes. There will be some new faces in as well. "We're hoping that some of the players will see Joel and Lewis signing and think that they want to be a part of that."If we can add to this and sign some good players on top as we build the squad, then hopefully we can be successful."At the final game of last season, despite there being disappointment at missing out on the League One play-offs, fans turned up in numbers and celebrated news of a new owner and new chapter at the club. Jacobson had been rumoured to be coming in ever since Couhig's ambitions of taking over were first despite having only recently being appointed, he said that he was well aware of the efforts supporters had made to bring attention to their ownership situation across the past few years. "The fans have been incredible so far," Jacobson said."It feels like they have someone to get behind in Rob. We want to give these fans as much good news as they can get."They almost saved this club themselves last season, not just financially but being in the public eye and demonstrating. It has been amazing and we now want to give back to them."We were here for the final game of the season when there was a near-full stadium. We want that every week and it is now up to us to put a squad together that can make the experience of coming to Reading special and making them want to keep coming back." 'Free transfer and loans' this summer For the first time in a long time this summer, Reading will be able to operate in the transfer market and bring in players without the restrictions they faced under former owner Dai Yongge. As well as tying down those whose contracts are soon set to expire, if Reading want to better last season and make a big push for promotion, then emphasis will be on adding to their transfer window reopens on Monday after being open for a brief period last week. "Right now where we are looking at is mainly free transfers and loans," Jacobson said."It's slow at the moment everywhere. It feels like everyone is after the same small group of players and just before pre-season it speeds up a bit."We have our targets and we have spoken to some that we want. There is some that we have offered contracts out to that we're speaking to daily, people we really want that would be exciting for the football club."Hopefully we can have some more exciting news quite soon."

Amazon urged to ban sale of ‘unsafe' e-bikes
Amazon is being urged to crack down on the sale of modified electric bikes that can travel at 40 miles per hour and run on batteries that are prone to bursting into flames. MPs have criticised the online retail giant and food delivery firms such as Deliveroo, whose couriers sometimes use the hazardous e-bikes to boost their earnings. The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Cycling and Walking has written to the head of Amazon in the UK, urging the retailer to immediately halt sales of the bikes and all equipment that is used to convert legitimate electric bikes into so-called 'fake e-bikes', it is understood. The group, chaired by the Labour MP Fabian Hamilton, is also calling on ministers to implement tighter controls on the sale of ebikes. Electric bikes can be legitimately bought and ridden on UK roads if they adhere to a strict set of safety regulations. Ebikes cannot exceed 15.5 miles per hour and must have a motor that is limited to 250W to prevent fires. However, some bikes are being sold that can reach speeds of up to 70 mph, equipped with throttle controls and powerful motors, under the guise that they would be ridden off-road. Despite recent crackdowns by police, these bikes have been terrorising pedestrians in cities and have caused house fires because of substandard batteries. The authors of the MPs' report found one bike on Amazon that boasted speeds of 40 mph and a 2000W motor described as being for 'city commutes'. The MPs also found an 'unsafe charger with an unfused clover leaf plug, and multiple charging cables supplied, both of which are considered a fire risk', being sold on the site. Amazon told the MPs that the clover leaf plug 'should not be anywhere near the Amazon store, it's clearly not safe' and promptly removed the charger from sale. An Amazon spokesman said that safety was a top priority. 'We require all products offered in our store to comply with applicable laws and regulations and we monitor for product safety concerns. We also go further by requiring sellers of e-mobility products to provide documented testing certification carried out by an accredited lab.' The report also criticised companies in the 'gig economy' such as Deliveroo, JustEat and Uber Eats which typically class their couriers as self-employed rather than staff. Couriers are paid based on their trips and are responsible for their vehicles, which the report claims has led meant that many riders 'turn to illegal or unsafe vehicles that can travel faster than a legal e-bike but are far cheaper than road-legal mopeds or electric vehicles'. Shaf Hussain, a food courier who also represents the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain, a trade union for gig economy workers, said: 'There are road-legal bikes. Unfortunately, those bikes… it's all the distance factor. Is that going to last me for the entire day? Most bikes only do about 50 miles range, unfortunately. So I need something that can do at least 100-150 miles range just for the day. That's why you see a lot of bikes with, like, three or four battery packs on them.' The MPs are calling for all noncompliant e-bikes to be withdrawn from sale; for delivery companies to be made to pay couriers across shifts, rather than per delivery; and for a national scrappage scheme for illegal bikes. A Deliveroo spokesman said that all of its riders have to comply with all safety regulations and defended their working conditions. 'Complying with safety standards is a condition of riders' supplier agreements. If an incident of a rider using an illegally modified e-bike is reported to us, we will investigate and stop working with the rider if they are in breach of their obligations.' An Uber Eats Spokesman said: 'The safety of our customers, couriers and the general public is a top priority. Couriers must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including the Highway Code, and we work closely with a range of partners to provide ongoing safety education and access to discounted legal e-bikes and e-mopeds.' Just Eat said that on average its couriers earn significantly more than the London minimum wage. 'Safety is taken very seriously at Just Eat. Couriers sign a robust Service Agreement, and we regularly provide guidance on safety and responsible behaviour, including e-bike use. Breaches are met with swift action and zero tolerance for criminal behaviour.'
