Ironically, Burger King took over the vast majority of Wimpy Bars when their then-owners United Biscuits sold them to BK's then-parent company Grand Metropolitan in 1989. At the time, BK had just 30 outlets in the UK, while Wimpy and McDonald's already had hundreds. Grand Met wanted to strengthen BK's presence as Wimpy by that time struggled against McDonald's, even as they converted most of their outlets from the traditional waitress-and-chinaware service to the counter-and-disposables model. The outlets that were never converted were bought out by the management, thus leading to Wimpy becoming a small player in the UK market despite their historical dominance.
Wimpy is actually a British fast food chain only very few left now. Its branding was once Wimpy is The Home of The Hamburger. The greatest burgers under the bun
My view is that Wimpy is trying to get revenge on the Wimpy restaurant for using his name without his permission by promoting one of their biggest rivals
Wimpy is entirely too old for a Burger King Kids Meal (now called King Jr. Meal). He's a grown (and fat) man in his 30's, 40's, 50's or early 60's. Even though a King Jr. Meal is still way cheaper than even a small adult meal, Wimpy still have to buy the more expensive adult meal, if he have any money, which he usually doesn't.

Wimpy is just the best character ever
I don't know why that price would make Wimpy happy, he wants to pay nothing for it.
Maybe he was going for a less expensive hamburger.
Wimpy have been known of being a freeloader and a cheapskate.
Wimpy probably thinks that a kid meal is a lot cheaper than a small adult meal.
He'll gladly pay them Tuesday for the meal today
The less money he can spend, the better.
There's no doubt that Wimpy is the King in Burger King. XD
There was once a chain of burger bars in England called Wimpy.

@@masterfarr8265 🤝
I least expected that I was going to run into this.
This commercial made me want a Burger. Difference between Wimpy and myself is I didn't have to pay tuesday for it today...
An adult can buy a kid's meal for themselves. You get a toy you (don't) need but also portion control
Wimpy, the "Kids Club Meal" it's just for children, not to you and Popeye just eating spinachs only, every day.
Wimpy is entirely too old for a Burger King Kids Meal, now called a KIng Jr. Meal. Even if it's way cheaper than the adult meal.
Now we need a jughead burger commercial.
I want a hamburger for these commercials i am hungry now

How appropriate to have a burger-loving character promote a burger restaurant.
My view is that Wimpy is trying to get revenge on the Wimpy restaurant for using his name without his permission by promoting one of their biggest rivals

Ain't Wimpy a bit old for a Kid's Meal?

I wonder where he works he always has a shirt and tie on I hope it is a good job with medical and dental
Well it doesn't matter if wimpy is too old for kids meal, just as long he get to eat a hamburger.

I got a Burger Kimg ad before this Burger King ad. 😆
Good old memories.
