National Cheeseburger Day: Freebies And Deals In Metro Denver

ACROSS COLORADO — National Cheeseburger Day – yes it's a thing – is Tuesday, Sept. 18, and burger joints across metro Denver will offer freebies and discounts on cheeseburgers.

A survey of more than 1,000 consumers by Offers.com to find out their favorite toppings and burger chains shows:

• Most consumers (37%) chose condiments (ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise) as their favorite cheeseburger topping. Tomatoes came in second place (13%) and bacon in third (12%)

• Five Guys is the favorite cheeseburger chain (25%) according to consumers. Five Guys is the favorite in the state of Colorado, hands down. Wendy's follows closely behind (21%) and third place goes to McDonald's (20%)

• The majority of consumers (56%) spend between $1-$20 on cheeseburgers in a month. What's interesting about this data is that while 24 percent don't spend any money on cheeseburgers, 3 percent admitted to spending over $81.
