Whopper

Flame-broiled fast food

Whopper is the signature hamburger sold by Burger King, introduced in 1957 and marketed as a large, flame-grilled sandwich.

The name has become closely identified with the fast-food chain: I'll have a Whopper with cheese. (Lowercase whopper means something large or an outrageous lie.)
