Burger King created a new challenge on TikTok called the #WhopperChallenge and it gives people the chance to perform the Whopper Dance to be rewarded with a $1 Whopper sandwich. To introduce the challenge, Burger King teamed up with TikTok's Loren Gray, Avani and Nathan Davis Jr. so that the steps for the dance could be shown.
Users can participate by using the #WhopperDance and following the moves of the dance tutorials using Burger King’s track. Following this, TikTok users will receive a direct message on TikTok from Burger King with a special code for redeeming the burger discount, which can be applied to Burger King's app. Already, hundreds of Whopper Dance challenges have been filmed and shared on the platform.
