For funsies, and in line with the mystery collectible trend, the toys come not in clear plastic but in a surprise box that doesn’t reveal the character until you open it.

This summer, Burger King’s US sales soared as customers embraced its revamped Whopper, reimagined with a “premium” bun, “better-tasting mayo,” and a box container instead of a paper wrapper to keep the burger from getting soggy.
asserted
customers → soar → burger
As part of its turnaround strategy, Burger King has also introduced a new “Whopper Guarantee,” which remakes burgers and offers a free sandwich on the next order for dissatisfied customers, and “Your Way Champions,” a new managerial role focused on the customer experience.
asserted
which → introduce → experience
After striking gold with its revamped Whopper, Burger King recently turned its attention to its much-maligned chicken nuggets, which customers have criticized as dry and flavorless.
asserted
customers → strike → which
New-and-improved nuggets have since landed on Burger King menus, along with a revamped sauce lineup including honey mustard, buffalo, sweet & sour, and a limited-time “special savory sauce.”
asserted
nuggets → improve → mustard
Burger King was founded in 1951 and operates more than 19,000 locations across more than 120 countries and US territories, most of which are owned and operated by independent franchisees.
