    SAN ANTONIO, TX, March 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bacon and eggs, burgers and fries, and cookies and milk all taste best in pairs and the only way to make one of the items better is when the other is free. In honor of its new cookies, Whataburger will give customers free milk with any cookie purchased from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 30 and Wednesday, March 31.

ABOUT WHATABURGER:
Whataburger has focused on its fresh, made-to-order burgers and friendly customer service since 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger as a small roadside burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dobson gave his restaurant a name he hoped to hear customers say every time they took a bite of his made-to-order burgers: "What a burger!" Within the first week, people lined up around the block for his 25 cent, all-American beef burgers served on five-inch buns. Today, the company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with more than 700 locations in 10 states with sales of more than $1 billion annually.
