I read on Japan Today's website that Burger King has introduced a new limited edition one pound burger. It is made with four beef patties and six Gouda cheese slices, covered with white cheese sauce. The sandwich alone is 1,637 calories. The price is 1,990 yen for the sandwich alone or 2,290 yen for the set (I assume that means with fries and a drink). Is this only in Japan?
To eat that you'd need another bun, cut in half. Then you can rearrange the skyscraper into two lower burgers , a size that you can actually bite into. Most of all you need a couple of friends to share it with. Yes, the question is, who eats this? Visiting foreign tourists? A sumo wrestler? One thing is for sure, I won't be eating one!
There are many Japanese people who like to eat these types of hamburgers. I've seen people eating it on TV. Since the hamburger is tall, it is rare for people to be able to open their mouths due to the height. The person watching on TV seemed to be biting into the hamburger anyway. There are quite a few programs like this, and they are enjoyed by both male and female entertainers and hamburger geeks. I don't even want to eat it. There may be a company strategy as there are currently many people travelling to Japan from overseas. It may feel like a good deal because you can't currently eat this hamburger at this price outside of Japan. Even so, the volume is amazing.😨
This company is known as Hungry Jacks in Australia - I just googled their menu and this does not appear. I don't know how anyone would eat that - unless challenged!!
Wow! I haven't seen that in the states. I don't even know how you could eat that without splitting it up.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this one before...I like fast food occasionally, but this just seems too much!
