The voting is being opened to [Royal Perks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keep-it-real-meals) members who can find it available exclusively in the BK app where they can choose between the [Ghost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-trickorheat-bucket) Pepper Whopper or the Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries. The vote will culminate with a winner being crowned sometime in the near future and will likely see the winning menu item making its way to participating locations this fall. The Burger King vote follows on the success of QSR brands taking to the consumer to better understand their preferences and give them the chance to have their voice be heard.
