Big in Japan...literally

I first saw this in the Daily Fork this morning, the Whopper 7.


In honor of today's release of Windows 7, Microsoft is apparently teaming up with Burger King to offer a Windows 7 Whopper. The seven patty burger is being offered only in Japan, and will be available for the next seven days.

Unfortunately, from the looks of the ad below, this monstrous burger appears to be severely lacking when it comes to cheese. We say, if you're already willing to shovel about a day's worth of calories down your throat with a seven patty burger, what's a few hundred more?




Then they had a follow-up report that included a video from CNN.

In case the advertisement wasn't enough, here's some footage from CNN of the Windows 7 Whopper. Seven patties, 1.7 pounds of hamburger, 2120 calories, and yet it's not available in the US. What gives?


I could in theory, eat that. But I'm sure it would knock about forty minutes off of my life span and I just don't know.

I would eat it once - and gladly pay those forty minutes.

Once.

Editor JDC,

I'm still sitting on the fence with this one, I just don't know and I'm usually down with all safe food dares.
