Burger King makes first-ever 'homecoming' menu change and it'll be a 'crowning' moment for customers

BURGER King has been helping customers celebrate the start of the school year with a brand new BK Homecoming Meal for two this month.

The meal goes live on menus starting on Thursday and features two Whopper Jr. sandwiches, two milkshakes, one small order of onion rings, and one small order of French fries.

"For years we've seen fans incorporate Burger King into their homecoming traditions, using our iconic crown as part of their royal celebrations across the country," Zahra Nurani, Burger King North America's vice president of marketing communications, said in a statement.

"We're excited to get in on the celebration by offering a delicious meal for two that allows HoCo-goers even more ways to make BK a part of this special event."

The entire feast costs just $10 for Burger King customers in stores and online.

Best of all, you’ll also receive two of Burger King’s paper crowns with the royal Homecoming Meal deal if you live in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, or Oklahoma City.

Available in three flavors, the wraps cost $2.99 each.

OTHER SEASONAL MENU ITEMS

As the days get shorter, many other fast-food chains have launched new fall menu items.

As part of its fall menu launch, Dunkin’ brought back the glazed pumpkin cake donut and the Munchkin donut hole treats.

Also on the menu is a pumpkin muffin topped with streusel and a drizzle of white icing and the classic Pumpkin Spice Signature latte.

Via an artist partnership, the Ice Spice Munchkins Drink is also available for a limited time from September 13 to October 31.

Each frozen coffee beverage offers five layers blended in one, mixing Dunkin's frozen coffee base with Munchkins donuts.

Hardee’s has also revamped its menu with its Nashville Hot chicken.

Guests can choose from the chain’s Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwiches, Tenders, or Biscuits.

"At Hardee's, we're all about offering the homestyle foods our guests crave. We're expanding our famous chicken lineup with just the right amount of spice," Hardee's director of brand marketing Mallory Jones said in a statement. "The flavors speak for themselves.”

Each chicken breast was marinated and fried before being mixed with a red cayenne pepper-based sauce.

Meanwhile, at Taco Bell, fans have gone ecstatic for the returning rolled chicken tacos.

The discontinued item was last available in 2020, but the chain surprised fans with its comeback this year.

Each taco features marinated shredded chicken rolled up in a corn tortilla and deep-fried, served with a side of spicy ranch for dipping.

Already, customers have praised the returning tacos.

“I started today a little frustrated but then I remembered Taco Bell brought back the rolled chicken tacos and now I’m over the moon,” one wrote.
