Founded in 1954, the Burger King brand is the second largest fast food hamburger chain in the world.  The original Home of the Whopper, the Burger King system operates more than 15,000 locations in approximately 100 countries and U.S. territories. Almost 100 percent of Burger King restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees, many of them family-owned operations that have been in business for decades. The parent company Burger King brand is owned by Restaurant Brands International Inc., one of the world's largest quick service restaurant companies with more than $23 billion in system sales and over 19,000 restaurants.

The company has customized all the global products being rolled out. Like, the Angriest Burger is a flame-grilled beef patty topped with bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, jalapenos, mayonnaise and "spicy angry sauce. Since these kinds of foods are not consumed much in India, the research team had to customize the products to suit the Indian taste buds.

After the hugely successful response to the Big Boss Whopper sandwich and Chicken Fries from the consumers, we decided that it was time to introduce another innovative product in India, this time with a red bun. The Angriest Whopper sandwich is a furiously delicious sandwich atop a fiery red bun, baked with hot spices, added angry onions, angry sauce and jalapenos. Each bite packs a fiery punch and that makes it a ‘Must Have’ burger of the year”.
