Featuring a whopping eight slices of cheese, this is the ultimate game day snack. In Wisconsin, 'Cheeseheads' is a charming nickname given to fans of the [Green Bay Packers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phillyhead) NFL football franchise. In celebration of these fans, Burger King has debuted a new Green Bay Whopper across all of its Green Bay-area restaurants. The limited-edition burger consists of standard Whopper ingredients, such as a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty, tomato slices, onions, sliced pickles, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, and cheese. However, instead of just one slice of cheddar, this burger comes with a stack of eight slices. The result is an ultra-cheese burger worthy of any Green Bay fan.
