  • Whopper Jr. with Cheese

  • Saucy Fries

Available across all Burger King outlets nationwide starting January 15, this limited-time offering is perfect for sharing with a loved one or enjoying solo while immersing in the spirit of Loveyapa.

Engaging Gen Z with Fun Contests

In addition to the new combo, Burger King is hosting an exclusive social media contest to engage fans and movie enthusiasts. The user-generated content (UGC) contest invites participants to create humorous memes using screenshots from the Loveyapa trailer. Winners stand a chance to win exciting prizes, building anticipation for the film’s release.
