The Whopper Versus the Big Mac. Which is the Real King of Burgers (part 1)

This is the First of Three Articles Comparing the Style of a Truly American Product - Namely, the Hamburger

It may seem strange to compare hamburgers when you think about all the more important things one could compare. But as we all know the fast food industry in America is a powerhouse. The fast food giants spend millions on product advertising trying to convince the masses that they have the better burger or better tasting fries. We all know we have at one time or another gotten into a highly unintellectual debate with a friend as to whose fast food tasted better. So I set out to settle this controversy once and for all. This will be the first in three product comparison articles that will attempt to crown the true king of burgers.

Burger King and McDonald's undoubtedly the heavy weights of the fast food industry both specializing in the hamburger. But which is better? Opinion varies with each consumer so to come up with an answer I thought I would do some field research. I took a trip to both the local McDonald's and Burger king and ordered the respective "special Burgers" of each restaurant. Namely the Big Mac from McDonald's and the Whopper from Burger king. I sampled both sandwiches and one right away stuck out to me as the clear winner between the two. But before I announce my personal favorite I feel it best to give some stats on the competitors.
