Speaking of the new celebration, Pat O’Toole, Chief Marketing Officer of Burger King North America commented: “Since 1954, Burger King has prided itself on two things – flame-grilling and letting Guests ‘Have It Your Way’. And, while a lot has changed over the last 70 years, we’ve always remained committed to our Guests.

“As we look to celebrate our milestone birthday this June, we are proud of the legacy this brand has built and on which we stand, and are beyond grateful for our royal Guests who have made it all possible.”

As well as Burger King’s week long releases, Wendy’s also just announced that it’s giving away free nuggets to customers every single Wednesday.
