Twitter has a way of codifying rumors — taking a hopeful tweet and spinning it into a small frenzy of happy online folks who, in the span of a weekend, turn my Twitter feed into a cartwheeling celebration trumpeting the arrival of Whataburger in Kansas City. While I don’t doubt the love for the Texas-based chain, I didn’t think Twitter was breaking news this time.

“I don’t have any information on that currently,” said a Whataburger spokesperson when I contacted their media hot line.
