Burger King in Japan serves guy a Whopper... with 1050 strips of bacon

[The Bman]

Not sure if I should have posted this on the rumble strip or opinions & current events. It's a news story but not as major as politics and such.

Well, some time ago (really about a week) a guy from Japan went to a Burger King and ordered a Whopper with, you guessed it - 1050 bacon strips. To make things more interesting, he ate a large part of it!

Here's the link to the story:

And bacon strips.

And bacon strips.

And bacon strips.

(etc.)

This is actually pretty impressive. I... really honestly don't see why anyone would order a Whopper with 1050 bacon strips, but meh, I can dig it.

And he can dig into it.

And probably die of a heart attack (or choking).

And bacon strips.

 

[Omnis]

That's hilarious. I laughed so hard.

 

[DK]

EpicMealTime must be so jealous.

 

[TankAss95]

This is sad. Seriously.

 

[mattythedog]

That guy must be a pig!

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

That guy must be a pig!

If he is a pig, wouldn't that make him a cannibal?

 

[Dennisch]

I need to get to BK Japan.

 

[Touring Mars]

These attempts at eating extreme food just keep getting rasher and rasher...

 

[Coxis]

Masterful troll unleashes hell.

At BK - For actually serving so many bacon strips. Fast food restaurants should be worried about their customers' health and all that crap.
At Society in general - For contributing to the notion that society is crazier by the minute these days.
At Japanese people - Who people already think are crazy to begin with.
At people in general - The ones that don't see the trolling at least. They'll go crazy criticizing and judging this kid.

All the while he'll be grinning at the crazyness he's unleashed.

That's mad though. Who would spend 7,000 yen on a burger?!

 

[Wiegert]

Oh Japan, you so crazy. Those strips don't look appetising whatsoever though.

All the while he'll be grinning at the crazyness he's unleashed.

When he isn't throwing it back up, perhaps.

 

[Akmuq]

Hmmm, 1050, must be a noob.

 

[Tom]

£53? Not bad for that amount of bacon goodness.

 

[Sam48]

I presume they didn't allow him to receive this through the drive-thru window, because I can guarantee you it wouldn't fit.

 

[sesselpupser]

Well, he certainly did have it his way. I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if this was some sort of viral marketing stunt...

 

[sumbrownkid]

Did they have a pump nearby so the cholesterol won't kill him?

 

[popcorn]

Why is fast food in Japan so awesome?

 

[Grayfox]

They could have added 750 strips and he may not have known.
That would have also been one expensive burger.
I wonder if that burger would have been called the heart stopper (or in japanese 心のストッパ&#12540

Indeed, now excuse me while I book a one way plane ticket.

One way ticket to 6feet down under.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, but what a way to go.

 

[Ducati900]

mmm...

 

[sirjim73]

You know what question no-one has answered yet...?

"Do you want fries with that?" lol

(But yeah this is kinda real stupid unless its some kind of publicity stunt)

 

[E28]

'Would you like a whopper with that bacon sir?'

 

[Slash]

LOL



That is all.

 

[a6m5]

I think this is garbage, and it is disgusting.

Why is fast food in Japan so awesome?

They are, and none of them have bacon.

 

[Slash]

I think it's delicious.

Same video Slash linked:



After the dude is asked where he was going(dude just mumbled), the picture afterwards says "we ate a bacon". Typical Engrish. In Japanese, it's explained that the "staff" got to enjoy the rest. gross

Since they mentioned the staffs, I looked at their youtube channel. They are "Rockets News 24", and all their videos are about food.

It's a publicity stunt. gross

 

[bombe32]

Yummy.

But if Americans could "design" their own burgers, I'm sure a lot of them would look like this.
