In the world of fast food this week, we've got a bit of a fun announcement! The flame-broiled king of fast food - Burger King, duh - is turning 70, and to celebrate, he's throwing a week-long feast with a variety of free food giveaways. Well, it'll cost 'ya a minimum purchase of 70 cents, really. But you can't even get an item from the dollar store for 70 cents - so we'll call it 'basically free.'
The flame-broiled fiesta kicks off on National Hamburger Day on May 28, and you've gotta be a member of BK's Royal Perks program to score the free stuff. Call me a defector, but I'm gonna wait until June 2 to indulge in the King's Original Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It's got an inexplicable soft spot in my heart as one of my fave treats to eat as a kiddo - way too much mayo, slightly wilted lettuce, a toasty bun, and a perfectly fried, greasy pressed chicken patty that never failed to have a weird little grizzly vein running through it. I always ate around it, but what IS that anyway? Like I said - sounds a little sketchy, but childhood nostalgia makes you do weird things. But I digress. Onto the free food extravaganza you've been patiently waiting for.
Here's the delicious itinerary for this Burger King's week-long free-food giveaway (remember, you must make a 70 cent purchase to cash in on your free item):
May 28 (National Hamburger Day): It's practically a national decree, right? Dive into a free, juicy hamburger on this hallowed day dedicated to all things patty perfection.
May 29: Rise and shine like royalty with a complimentary Croissan'wich breakfast sandwich.
May 30: Feeling parched after all that burger bliss? A free medium soft drink awaits to quench your thirst and keep you hydrated for the rest of the delicious week ahead.

June 1 (Burger King's Birthday): Bow down, for it is His Majesty's official birthday! Celebrate with a slice of the King's soon-to-be-legendary Birthday Pie - a creamy, cake-filled dream nestled on a bed of delightful cookie crust.
