7 Secrets About Burger King That'll Blow Your Mind

Find out what to order, what to avoid, how to get the best meal, and more insider secrets. Also, always be sure to skip these 8 Worst Fast-Food Burgers to Stay Away From Right Now.
You don't have to choose between fries and onion rings.
Can't decide between the two delicious sides? You don't have to! Just order "frings."
According to HackTheMenu, when you ask for "frings," you'll automatically be served half French fries and half onion rings. Or, just ask for half and half—they'll hook you up, no matter what size you order.

You can get a four beef patty burger.
Every secret menu has one over-the-top item, and Burger King's Suicide Burger definitely qualifies. Also known as The Quad Stacker, your order will include four beef patties, four slices of cheese, bacon, and special sauce in between two sesame seed buns.
You can bring back an old favorite.
Fans of the beloved Rodeo Burger, rejoice! It's super easy to order this favorite even though it's not on the menu anymore. Just ask for a cheeseburger topped with onion rings and BBQ sauce, and you'll be rodeo ready!
It's not just the sandwiches and sides you can customize.
You can customize your milkshakes, frappes, and smoothies, too. Just ask whoever is working to combine your flavors and they will happily do it, a former employee told Spoon University. In the mood to mix Oreo chocolate with strawberry? Go ahead! The flavor possibilities are really endless.
There's a card that entitles you to free BK for life.
The BK Crown Card is a fairly simple concept: Free food for life. Not to be confused with a regular Crown Card, which is just a gift certificate, only 12 people hold the limitless version. So who are these lucky few? Well, they're handpicked celebrities who are considered "friends" of the fast-food chain. Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson (whose first job was manning the drive-thru) is a cardholder, along with Jay Leno and George Lucas.
There is an ideal time to order the cookies.
If you're a fan of BK's yummy chocolate chip cookies, according to Spoon University, they go in the oven between opening and 11 a.m. So if you're a morning person who loves sweets, go get that gooey goodness for the freshest batch.
Don't toss that receipt!
Always look at the back of your receipt and go online to do the survey. You'll get a free sandwich—a Whopper or Original Chicken. Who doesn't love free food?
