πŸ” Walmart+ and Burger King: A Match Made in Capitalist Heaven 🍟

Oh, what a time to be alive! The retail behemoth Walmart just announced a "first-of-its-kind partnership" with Burger King, because apparently, nothing says progress like a side of fries with your corporate overlords.

Starting today, Walmart+ members can enjoy a whopping 25% discount on digital orders at Burger King every day. Because who needs home-cooked meals when you can have a Whopper, right? πŸ™„

Walmart, in its infinite wisdom, believes this "exclusive dining benefit" will enhance the "value and convenience" of its membership program. Because, you know, planning and cooking meals is just sooo last century.

"Given that most Americans eat from quick-service restaurants several times a week, this benefit serves as a practical, cost-effective solution to accommodate dining preferences and busy schedules while enjoying the iconic taste of Burger King," Walmart said, probably while patting itself on the back.

Free Whopper Alert! 🚨

But wait, there's more! Walmart+ members will also get a free flame-grilled Whopper every three months with any purchase starting in September. Free fast food with your subscription? sign me up, right? πŸ€‘

β€œThe inclusion of a Burger King benefit in our Walmart+ membership portfolio is exciting,” said Venessa Yates, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+, likely while enjoying a complimentary Whopper. β€œWe consistently strive to offer benefits that focus on our members, aligning with our commitment to deliver undeniable value and convenience."

How to Get Your Greasy Discount πŸ’Έ

Walmart+ members can grab that 25% discount at Burger King via the Burger King app or online at bk.com by linking their Walmart membership to their Burger King Royal Perks account. Because nothing says royalty like a discounted burger. πŸ‘‘

The Real Cost of Convenience πŸ’°

And how much does this glorious subscription cost, you ask? A mere $98/year or $12.95/month. But don't worry, you get benefits like free delivery, free shipping, gas and travel discounts, and video streaming with Paramount+. Because nothing screams value like paying to save money. πŸ˜’
