MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
Burger King Corporation (NYSE:BKC) expands its BK Value Menu offerings with the
nationwide launch of the new Buck Double sandwich, featuring two flame-broiled

McDonald`s McDouble and is now available on the BK Value Menu. 

"The Buck Double sandwich further strengthens our value menu offerings and
reinforces our brand`s commitment to provide our restaurant guests with new,
great-tasting flame-fresh products at an affordable price," said Mike Kappitt,
chief marketing officer, North America, Burger King Corp. 

The Buck Double sandwich joins other BK Value Menu items including the WHOPPER
JR. sandwich and Spicy CHICK`N CRISP sandwich for only $1*.
