Burger King is being hilariously trolled by shoppers over its new burger

Earlier this week, Burger King revealed that its branches in New Zealand would be releasing a brand new burger. Well, in theory it's brand new, anyway.

The burger in question is a sesame seed bun crammed with nothing but fries, and topped with lashings of mayo and ketchup.

If you're thinking to yourself it sounds pretty much like a chip sandwich, you're not alone, because countless Brits on social media also think the same.

Responding to the news in the most British way possible, people took to Twitter to express their outrage, and the replies certainly didn't disappoint.

"Americans have discovered the chip butty," joked one Twitter user.

Another said: "Oh dear, have they "invented" something that already exists again... I've just got over the sausage roll debacle.."

"Don't tell them about adding crisps," joked somebody else.

A fourth chipped in: "A chip butty. You've invented a chip butty."

"It’s a chip butty. Sorry BK but the UK had the drop on this much, much earlier (home made and everything)," said yet another amused shopper.

I can only imagine what the reaction will be like when they discover chips and curry sauce.
