	A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 20, 2013. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that when the Whopper was introduced in 1957, it sold for 37 cents?

This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: Jacob Kastrenakes (12 April 2017). "Burger King's new ad forces Google Home to advertise the Whopper". The Verge. Retrieved 12 April 2017. Burger King's ad relies on Wikipedia, which is maybe not a good idea. Hayley Peterson (12 April 2017). "Burger King's newest TV ad has a disastrous flaw". Business Insider. Retrieved 12 April 2017. That's the problem with relying on Wikipedia: anyone can edit entries on the website. Hayley Tsukayama (12 April 2017). "Burger King thought it had a great idea. Instead, it ended up with a Whopper of a problem". The Washington Post. Retrieved 12 April 2017. (Yes, the Whopper has its own Wikipedia page.) Sapna Maheshwari (12 April 2017). "Burger King 'O.K. Google' Ad Doesn't Seem O.K. With Google". The New York Times. Retrieved 12 April 2017. But within hours of the ad's release — and humorous edits to the Whopper Wikipedia page by mischievous users — tests from The Verge and BuzzFeed showed that the commercial had stopped activating the device. Sidney Fussell (12 April 2017). "Burger King's Dystopian New Ad Campaign Is Already a Cyanide and Toenail Clippings Disaster". Gizmodo. Retrieved 12 April 2017. After news of the ad broke, Wikipedia users began editing the site's entry for the burger, adding previously unknown Whopper ingredients such as cyanide, toenail clippings and "medium-sized child" to its description.

Please link to Wiktionary when you get a chance. Thanks. Sorry, I don't really speak English myself.

Oder in meiner Sprache (wohl genauer):
Bitte mal bei Gelegenheit das Wiktionary, also den hier wohl zugehörigen Eintrag (am einfachsten wohl über {{Wiktionary:whopper}}, eben hier, nebenan), anbinden. Danke.
