Where 60-second service begins with a smile… and ends with one (1966)
Burger King — the nation’s fastest-growing chain of self-service restaurants — is so delightfully different, no wonder it has caught America’s fancy!
Not a drive-in… not a cafeteria… not a diner — Burger King is a unique concept in restaurants, designed for America-on-the-move.
At Burger King, there are no waiters, no waiting, no tipping. Give your order, and in just about 60 seconds, your hot food is ready to enjoy. The atmosphere is home-like, casual, relaxed. And you can eat inside where the weather is perfect for comfort.
The whole family will enjoy the good-tasting, nourishing food — like the famous open-flame broiled Whopper… an exclusive Burger King creation that’s a nutritionally-balanced meal in itself — big enough to satisfy a healthy appetite. And the kids will love those super-size shakes, too.
Wherever you go…. look for the sign of the happy King on a Bun. It’s the sign of good food, 60-second service, and pleasingly low prices. That’s Burger King — home of the Whopper.

Have it your way, at Burger King (1976)
Getting what you want at Burger King goes double now. Big, juicy double beef hamburgers. Double beef cheeseburgers. And double beef Whopper sandwiches. Twice the beef in every bite. And delicious.
Get ’em with all the trimmings. Or we’ll make ’em for you special — on the double. Only Burger King fixes it your way without a lot of waiting.
