"The Burger Wars have become the biggest food fight since that cafeteria scene from the movie Animal House. The two burger giants, McDonalds and Burger King, have each been cloning the others top product in the bloody battle for the big burger buck. Burger King stepped up first with the Big King - Burger Kings verion of McDonalds Big Mac. Yes, it had two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun; although everything was arranged a bit differently, and there's no middle bun in there. Then McDonalds rolled out the Big N Tasty, which borea a strkiking resemblance to Burger Kings Whopper, with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on top of a huge beef patty. Whos winning this fight by leveraging the popularity of the other companys product? Nobody, really. McDonalds chose to alter its Big N Tasty recipe by making it smaller n cheaper; then changed the name to BigXtra!, while Burger King limited sale of the Big King. But this food fight is far from over. More recently Burger King tweaked its french fry formula in an unsuccessful attempt to steal away fans of McDonalds winning fried spuds recipe. And McDonalds has added more breakfast sandwiches to compete with Burger Kings wide wake up selection. So the war continues. And the battlefield is splattered with ketchup...."
