Fast food giant Burger King is making a new menu change to one of its most popular burgers.
The limited-time change will see fast food customers get more for their money from May 18.
Burger King is bringing in the new deal on the Whopper, which will see a price change on its menu.
The launch of the new $5 Whopper Jr. Duo deal will mean anyone can buy two Whopper Jr. products for $5, reports Chew Boom.
This comes as Burger King said they may have to close up to 400 stores by the end of the year with the CEO warning underperforming outlets will be the first to go.

The menu items that will be included in the price change are the Whopper Jr, Whopper Jr. with cheese, Whopper Jr. with bacon and cheese, BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr, BBQ Bacon and Cheese Whopper Jr and the Bacon and Swiss Whopper Jr.
Some locations are expected to bring in the change as early as May 15.
Although this will mean savings for many, in some markets such as Alaska and Hawaii, prices may be higher.
The change comes as the fast-food burger chain is axing the most stores in its recent history, according to CEO Josh Kobza. as the company usually only closes a couple of hundred stores annually.
According to its earnings release, the iconic chain has already shut 124 locations in the year up to March across the US.
Although there are plans to shut 300-400 restaurants, not all of them will shut, according to Mr Kobza, who admitted there is "a fair degree of uncertainty" around the plans but admits the proposed closures are a 'historic high.'
He admitted sales figures have fluctuated between different Burger King stores across the US but the company is seeking to find additional franchisees this year.
Chairman Patrick Doyle said: "There will always be a minority [of franchisees] who aren’t dedicated, enthusiastic operators. We’ll work with them to leave the system and move on to do something else.
"There simply is no room for franchisees who are not willing or able to work hard to operate restaurants that are better than the system average over the long term."
Despite the fast-food chain having better-than-expected sales in the first quarter, the axing of the stores is being made to "improve the overall health of the system."
Mr Kobza said: "If they can't, we have operators ready to step in and do what's required."
"We're feeling increasingly positive about the case path forward this year and into the future."
