FIRST IT was all about the little black bun — but now, one of Australia’s biggest burger chains has trialled a different shade for its signature burger.

From today, Hungry Jack’s will be selling a limited-time Halloween version of its Whopper with a cheese infused, bright orange bun just in time for Halloween on the last day of October. The original Whopper is still on the menu if you’re more of a classic burger fan.

The fast food chain decided to change up the classic burger, by meddling with the recipe and infusing cheddar cheese into the bun.

Taking the lead from Burger King, who rolled out the limited edition black bun Whopper for Halloween last year, Hungry Jacks hope people will enjoy the new cheesy remake — a variation they haven’t tried in more than 40 years.

Renamed the Halloween Whopper, the bun is infused with cheddar cheese to give it a vibrant orange colour and very cheesy taste.

“Hungry Jack’s first ever Halloween Whopper is very exciting for the company. We’ve never altered the taste of the bun, but we think the cheddar cheese will be the perfect accompaniment to our flame-grilled beef patty,” Hungry Jack’s Chief Marketing Officer, Scott Baird said in a statement.

Perhaps not as extravagant as the Halloween black bun launched by Burger King overseas, but hopefully this adaptation won’t have the same ghastly consequences.

Burger King’s black Whopper, which also launched ahead of the Halloween holiday in October last year, received mixed criticism in the US after consumers commented on how the black burger also meddled with their bowel movements.

Hashtag #greenpoop became popular with social media users sharing their experiences and sometimes photos online.

It’s believed the food colouring combination in the bun caused the bathroom surprise.

The ‘Halloween Whopper’ campaign will be rolled out in more than 400 restaurants across Australia.
