The third season of Stranger Things is quickly approaching, and you can find products promoting its debut everywhere you look. From Nike’s Netflix collaboration with 1980s-themed sneakers, to even the failed New Coke making a comeback, it’s safe to say that just about everyone is pumped to travel back to Hawkins, Indiana. And now, it’s Burger King’s turn.

The fast food chain just announced they’ll be offering an Upside Down Whopper, as Thrillist reports, and although the idea sounds super exciting, the finished product is not all that revolutionary. Burger King is literally serving their classic Whopper upside down, and that’s it. Oh, and there will be cool Stranger Things packaging involved.

The Upside Down Whopper will be available starting June 21, but only in 11 select locations in Miami, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Burger King’s official Twitter page, which has now changed its name to Stranger King, has tweeted out every location the limited edition Whopper will be sold.

We’ve got to admit, the partnership is cute. But I think I’ll be spending my money on the H&M Stranger Things collection instead of a plain old Whopper. Sorry, Burger King.

The Netflix series returns for its third season on July 4.
