“The Whopper”, a product from global fast food chain Burger King, carries the same name in France, despite online posts sharing an image of the burger’s wrapper purportedly in a French location of the chain with the title “Americain Retardé”.
A Burger King spokesperson said the photo did not show a genuine Burger King product.
Reuters found no evidence the product carries the name in the video in France.
French Burger King menus list the burger with the name “Whopper” (www.burgerking.fr/carte/menus).
The Burger King Whopper burger does not carry an offensive slogan in France.
