I guess Whataburger is tired of contributing to America’s obesity problem, because starting on Monday, July 2 at 3 p.m., its new menu design is going into effect. Yet don’t listen to the PR mumbojumbo and be fooled by this new 550 Calories or Less section since Whataburger’s really just re-arranging its old offerings to look new. You know how some thrifty people can take their old clothes, dress it up, and make it look new again with a belt here and a necklace there? That’s exactly what Whataburger is trying to pull off.
The only thing that’s new seems to be an apple and cranberry chicken salad with two different choices of low-fat vinaigrette dressings.
In case you’re curious, here’s what the skinny part of the menu looks like:
