It's the summer of $5 meals: Burger King creates a value meal to rival McDonald's deal

• Burger King is launching a $5 meal deal before McDonald's similar promotion.
• The Burger King deal includes a sandwich, nuggets, fries, and a drink and will run for several months.
• Fast-food chains are introducing value meals amid inflation and high menu prices.

Burger King is launching its own $5 meal just two weeks after reports of McDonald's introducing a similar deal.
