10 Beloved Burger King Menu Items That Have Soared in Price Over the Past Decade

Fast-food restaurants have hiked prices, making it harder to stretch your fast food budget.

A recent survey by Finance Buzz reviewed the rising cost of fast-food menus over the past decade. Depending on the fast-food chain, prices are higher by 34% to up to 100%.

Burger King was not immune to the price hikes, and these menu items saw the biggest price hikes in the past 10 years.

Editor’s note: Prices in the FinanceBuzz study are based on the average cost of an item. They are subject to change and may vary by location.

Kids’ meals can be great fun with chicken nuggets, fries, a juice box, and a toy inside.

But they can also be expensive now. It will currently run $4.29 this year compared to $3.59 in 2014, making it hard for parents to afford the extra cost for kids.

Burger King has teamed up with Hershey’s for the delectable Hershey’s Sundae Pie, which features a chocolate cream filling and fudge drizzle on top of a chocolate crust.

But a slice of pie could take a slice out of your wallet, costing $2.25 now compared to $1.69 a decade ago.

A large drink may be a staple on any fast-food menu, but the cost of a cola never stays the same.

At Burger King, a large drink will set you back $2.99 now rather than $2.19 in 2014.

Unlike other fast-food chains, Burger King offers onion rings on its menu, and they’re breaded onions fried up to perfection.

But the price may be less than perfect, coming at $2.99 in 2024 instead of $2.09 in 2014.

Feel special with a Royal Crispy Chicken Meal, which features a crispy chicken sandwich, a side, and a drink. You can also choose onion rings or half fries and half onion rings as your side.

But a value meal may not be as valuable due to recent rate increases. The meal now costs $9.99 compared to $6.59 a decade ago.

Another value meal that gives you some flexibility between fries and onion rings as your side with a sandwich and drink is the Big Fish Meal.

But again, your wallet may not think there’s much value with the Big Fish Meal ringing up at $8.99 rather than $5.69 in 2014.

A Whopper Jr. Meal is going to take a big bite of your fast-food budget, with the cost going up a whopping 65% over the past decade.

The meal will cost you $7.59 now compared to $4.5fd9 when you ordered it a decade ago.

There may not be much value in the value fries anymore with the rising cost of food at Burger King.

The Value Fries, which are smaller than a small, give you a small snack with a big price at $1.99 instead of $1.19 back in 2014.

Burger King’s signature Whopper sandwich is a fan favorite, but some customers might want to skip it after seeing the whopper of a price hike.

A Whopper Meal with a sandwich, side, and drink comes in at $9.99 in 2024 rather than $5.79 in 2014.

Icees can be a fun treat for kids and adults with flavors like Frozen Coke or Frozen Fanta Wild Cherry.

But Burger King may also experience a freeze-out from customers who don’t want to pay the huge 101% price increase.

A small Icee will now cost you $2.19 this year instead of $1.09 in 2014.

It can be tough to eat out when you’re on a budget, and prices are rising, but there are ways to still enjoy some of your favorite fast foods.
