  • Facebook posts claim to offer vouchers for free items at Burger King. But the online content is false; the fast-food chain told AFP the pages making the offers are not affiliated with the company, and that legitimate offers can only be found on the company's website, through its app, or in restaurants. To celebrate Burger King 70th anniversary, we're sending out food and drink vouchers to everyone who shares and Typed 'Done' before July 25th. Each voucher can be used at any Burger King to get 5 burger boxes and drink.! says a July 22, 2022 Facebook post that was shared more than 12,000 times.
