Soaring Strawberry Lemonade – Soar to new heights and quench your thirst for adventure with the all-new Soaring Strawberry Lemonade, made with real fruit juice. Viking's Chocolate Sundae – Finish the adventure with Viking's Chocolate Sundae, a delicious sweet treat featuring a vanilla soft-serve with HERSHEY'S® chocolate syrup and black & green cookie crumbles.

'Our team has created a delicious menu inspired by the beloved characters and themes of this exciting new movie that brings that experience to Burger King restaurants.' So far, fans agree, with food blogger Markie_devo joking in a May 21 Instagram upload, "I'd train my Dragon to go through the drive thru at Bk for me.🐉🍔🍟." "I would like one of everything," a second quipped before others praised the collab as "so cool" and "cute." "Can't wait to try it," someone else declared. "I hope they reveal what the toys will be," one more admitted. "So far it seems Europe is getting paper puzzle toys where you can build the dragons," they added, noting that they were "really hoping we get actual figure toys/plastic." The "awesome" new meal will be available at participating Burger King locations beginning next Tuesday, May 27, ahead of the release of the new film, which soars into theaters on Friday, June 13.
