Burger King sparks debate by replacing buns with something very different in new meal

A new menu item on sale at Burger King has left customers divided over the unusual sweet and savoury combination. Menu changes at popular fast food restaurants are often the source of a lot of excitement for customers. From unexpected collaborations and hacks to make fast food even tastier, to outrage when menus changes, you can't deny that fast food chains have some hardcore fans.
This can be both good and bad, as it can be difficult to predict how fans will react when the chains want to change up their menus and release something new. Despite the uncertainty, Burger King has decided to go all-out with a brand new type of burger that ditches the bun for something completely different, and people don't know how to react to it.
In December 2024, Burger King Ecuador teased the arrival of its unique new menu item: the Donut Burger, consisting of a classic hamburger inside an iced ring doughnut bun. In an Instagram post, they wrote (translated into English): “Too crazy to be true? Or just crazy enough for the King?”.
“A combination you didn't see coming! Try the Donut Burger and be one of the first to discover it.”. After weeks of anticipation, the brand officially launched the sweet-and-savoury creation in January 2025, making it available nationwide across Ecuador.
