Who pays for the free burgers?

While Burger King is offering the free burgers, the cost is likely shared through a promotional agreement with The Vegetarian Butcher and the supermarkets. Supermarkets benefit from increased sales of the special product packs, attracting customers who might not otherwise buy these items. This collaboration drives traffic and boosts revenue for all parties involved.
