Anyone know if the original whopper and today's version were equally nutritious?

^ An interesting question.
I would be curious to see how the different portion sizes play out with regards to nutritional values.

I'd be scared to run into that little girl. She might bite me.
Thanks for sharing the poster; it looks fun!

What's interesting is the pitch --- "A meal in itself!" The idea of something so enormous as a 1/4 pound hamburger was so unusual at the time that it had to be pitched this way to make it seem less extravagant -- you wouldn't have to buy any side dishes to round out the meal, the sandwich itself would do.
The usual hamburger sandwich at the time was 1/8 pound, although you could get double-deck sandwiches like the Big Boy which contained two 1/8 pound patties. Nowadays, you're a piker if you settle for a mere 1/4 pound -- 1/3 or 1/2 pound is increasingly the norm.

Binkie, I tried to listen to hungry jack, but he was so boring, he didn't even talk about the hamburgers. Just shoot me. :eusa_doh:
Now Burger King on the Other hand, I love whopper Wednesdays. I can down, roughly 2,1/2, 3 whoppers on a good day.
It used to be, 10 bucks cdn for a daily combo and, a pack of cancer sticks (cigarettes)
Oh yeah, almost forgot, we got a good place run by some Greek guys, they got they best Burgers ever. They have the Sumo Burger! You can either eat the frys or eat the burger, but most people can't finish both.
They filmed a Gangster film there too, called "Tom and Jerry"
