SAN ANTONIO — A three-word tweet from one of Texas' most-beloved burger chains has set off an age-old debate here in the Lone Star State.
Whataburger tweeted March 9 "It’s pronounced 'WAT-ER-BRR-GRRR'", obviously aiming to set the record straight on the proper way to say its name and addressing those who choose to pronounce it "What-a-burger" and other ways.
The tweet quickly went viral, with many people on both sides of the epic debate weighing in, along with those who don't care how it's pronounced, as long as they get their sandwich favorites.
By Thursday afternoon, the post received more than 5,700 likes and 440,000 views on Twitte
