Burger King is running an interesting deal on its iconic Whopper sandwich right now. You can get one for just a penny — provided you’re willing to order it from McDonald’s.
At first glance, this sounds like something that’s going to be obnoxious to execute and not really worth it, but it’s actually pretty simple. To score the deal you have to place your order through Burger King’s mobile app and give the app access to your phone’s location. As long as you’re within 600 feet of a McDonald’s the price of that Whopper will drop down to a cent.
So you’re not ordering a rival fast food sandwich in the face of a McDonald’s employee and recording their anger… you’re just doing a drive-by of the parking lot and making a phone order.
Here’s a video of how that’s supposed to work (except in an obnoxious way).
Depending on your location, the Burger King and McDonald’s might be close enough together that you could even pull this one off from the Burger King parking lot.
The deal is available now until December 12th.
