  "account": "On National Cheeseburger Day, Business Insider ranked five of Burger King's most popular cheeseburgers from worst to best. The winner was a great value.\n\nThe least favorite was a simple plain cheeseburger costing $3.49. It featured American cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard on a sesame-seed bun. While it had generous toppings and a flavorful sesame-seed bun, it was considered too basic compared to other options.\n\nNext was the double cheeseburger at $4.89. With two beef patties, American cheese, and the same classic condiments, it was a step up from the basic cheeseburger. The double patty added more flavor and filling power, making this the second-best burger.\n\nThe Triple Whopper, priced at $11.98, stepped in the middle of the rankings. It boasted three quarter-pound beef patties, one slice of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mayonnaise, and ketchup. With a deliciously smoky flavor, fresh lettuce and tomato, and a hint of mayonnaise, it was a flavorful burger but a bit too rich and expensive.\n\nThe Bacon King, the second most expensive burger at $11.19, topped the list as the favorite. Priced at $11.19, it included two quarter-pound beef patties, bacon, two slices of cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise on a sesame-seed bun. The burger was decadent and filling, with a smoky taste from the bacon and crispy bacon adding to the smoky flavor. However, the excess condiments might have been a hindrance for some. Overall, the Whopper with cheese was crowned the best Burger King cheeseburger, maintaining its status as one of the chain's favorite fast-food burgers.",
