Connecticut, United States — Fast Food / American
Daym Drops reviews Burger King's new candy bacon options, highlighting the excellent maple bourbon candy bacon Whopper and the potential of their new croissant breakfast sandwich. However, he strongly criticizes their rubbery folded eggs and urges them to switch to McDonald's style cracked eggs to compete in the breakfast market.
What was great: Maple bourbon candy bacon Whopper with fried crispy onions and barbecue sauce, candy bacon on croissant with cheese, the potential of a cracked egg breakfast sandwich
What could improve: Burger King's rubbery folded egg on breakfast sandwiches, which the reviewer compared to a high school science experiment
The Dishes
Daym started with Burger King's new candy bacon bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The croissant proved flaky and fresh with nice buttery notes, while the candied bacon delivered an excellent balance of sweetness and slight saltiness. However, the review was heavily shadowed by Burger King's signature folded egg, which Daym adamantly despises. To prove his point, he grabbed a McDonald's Egg McMuffin to compare, showing how a properly cracked and cooked egg should look and taste on a breakfast sandwich. The contrast was stark, with the McDonald's egg being golden, round, and properly cooked versus BK's experimental-tasting folded creation.
The main event was the new Maple Bourbon Candy Bacon Whopper. This sandwich featured fried crispy onions, candied bacon, and a maple bourbon barbecue sauce with subtle peppery notes that caught the side of his tongue. The beef patty was cooked well without excessive grease, the cheese melted nicely, and the sesame seed bun was soft and fresh. The combination of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy elements worked together harmoniously, earning it a 4.5 out of 5 rating.
The Experience
Daym was parked at McDonald's, which was literally across the street from Burger King, setting up the perfect comparison for his breakfast sandwich critique. The casual fast food environment allowed him to quickly evaluate multiple items and compare execution between the two chains.
Value & Pricing
No specific pricing was mentioned in the review, but Daym emphasized the value proposition of having a quality fast food breakfast option when time is limited.
Notable Moments
BK, if you do nothing else, listen to your boy. You can keep your little folded science experiment egg if you want, but I'm telling you right now, if you get down with a cracked egg like McDonald's, and you put it up on of your bacon, egg, and cheese croissant that's already banging out the frame, the people are going to fool with you different.
This combination family is a 100 run. It's just that good. That's a fast food chef's kiss.
Daym's passionate plea to Burger King to change their egg was the emotional core of the video, suggesting they create a limited-time Eggy Dame sandwich with cracked eggs to truly compete in the breakfast market.
The Verdict
Despite praising the Whopper and croissant potential, Daym's main message was clear: Burger King has excellent components but refuses to listen to customer feedback about their egg situation. The Maple Bourbon Candy Bacon Whopper is legitimately good and worth trying, earning strong marks for execution and flavor balance. However, Burger King will only become a true breakfast contender if they ditch their folded eggs and adopt cracked eggs like McDonald's. This review is perfect for anyone who loves experimental Whopper flavors but also serves as a direct challenge to Burger King's leadership to finally address the decades-long egg complaint.
