Introduced in 1957 in response to the large burger size of a local restaurant in [[Gainesville, Florida]], it became central to [[Burger King advertising|Burger King's advertising]], including the chain's tagline "the Home of the Whopper." Burger King's competitors began releasing similar products in the 1970s designed to compete against it. The hamburger has undergone several reformulations, including changes to portion size and the bread used. Burger King sells [[Whopper#Variants|several variants]] that are either limited-time seasonal promotions or tailored to regional tastes and customs. A smaller version called the '''Whopper Jr.''' was introduced in 1963.
