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

2. Seeing that Whataburger and I were both born in Corpus Christi,

I always knew how to say the name the correct way. One of my sisters also worked there and every time she comes back to Texas one of her first missions is to find a Whataburger to eat at.

TV stations in the Phoenix area ran them.
