Treat yourself to a burger for lunch today. It's National Cheeseburger Day!
A poll for it found 82% of us love cheeseburgers, and American cheese is the top choice. It just edged out cheddar for the top spot, followed by Swiss, pepper jack, and provolone is a distant fifth.
The big hitters have some pretty solid deals this year. Here are a few places you can get a burger for free, or close to free.
1. McDonald's has 50-cent Double Cheeseburgers through their app.
2. Wendy's is selling Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for a penny with any purchase through Sunday.
3. Burger King rewards members can get a free cheeseburger if they spend $1.
4. Dairy Queen has free double cheeseburgers through their app if you spend a buck. That deal also runs through Sunday.
5. Buffalo Wild Wings has a buy-one-get-one deal for loyalty members.
Burger King also revealed their "Million Dollar Whopper" finalists. They launched a contest in February where fans could submit new Whopper ideas for a chance at $1 million.
The three burgers that made the final cut will hit their menu November 14th for a limited time. Which of these sounds best to you?
1. Mexican Street Corn Whopper, with seasoned tortilla strips and spicy queso.
2. Maple Bourbon Barbecue Whopper, topped with bourbon barbecue sauce, jalapeños, bacon, and maple-bacon seasoning.
3. Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper, topped with bacon, fried pickles, Swiss cheese, and a pickle-ranch dressing. (I'm not sure which sounds best, but they all sound like they'd shorten my life considerably.)
