Many social media users shared their opinion with one person telling the chain, “I think you’re saying it wrong.”

For what it’s worth, the commercials pronounce the name as “what-a-burger.”

It seems like this latest publicity stunt is another win for the burger chain, which has been known to throw out some zingers on social media.

No matter how you say it — we all recognize that big orange-and-white beacon guiding you through the night. IYKYK.
