Are you feeling old yet? Burger King is turning the big seven-oh in 2024, and what better way to celebrate than with a little bit of birthday cake -- or rather, birthday pie? To mark this milestone, Burger King is adding a brand new birthday pie slice to its dessert offerings for a limited time, beginning May 16. The dessert will include a crumbly cookie crust packed with a birthday cake flavored pie filling. BK tops it all off with cake bites, whipped topping, and, of course, celebratory rainbow sprinkles. Although Burger King's big day falls on June 1, this new addition to the menu will help get the festivities started early.

Burger King has a long history of menu items you probably forgot about, so it's only fitting that, for its 70th birthday, the fast food chain will celebrate by adding one more. But this time, it's decided to venture into new dessert territory. This is just one of many recent additions to the Burger King canon, like its new frozen cotton candy drink added in early April. But the new birthday pie slice isn't the only way fans can have it their way on Burger King's birthday.
