Whataburger is a Texas original. I've heard Whataburger pronounced many different ways. Turns out, a common East Texas pronunciation is correct according to a post from the burger giant.

How do you pronounce Whataburger?

We've heard the commercials for years that it's pronounced What - A - Burger, that's how I pronounce it. But I've also heard Water - Burger or What - Er - Burger or Wut - Uh - Burger.

To be honest, it really doesn't matter because we all know what is being said; we're having a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

A post on X from the official Whataburger account sent the internet into a frenzy. In that post, the burger giant seemed to verify that a common East Texas pronunciation is correct. Fans had some fun with the replies with Whataburger replying to some of them.

Time to Throw in a Little Controversy

Back in 2019, it was announced that Whataburger had sold to Chicago-based BDT Capital Partners. Why?

Because the Texas burger giant wanted to expand outside of the southern areas they had already spread their burger goodness to. So many people thought that the world was about to come to an end.

There were people literally believing that Chicago-style hot dogs and Chicago-style pizza were being added to the Whataburger menu. Y'all crazy.
