Japanese TV Report On Burger King

Just two more days until Burger King returns to Japan. Here’s a news report that aired today:

The short clip focuses on the size of the Whopper, with the female reporter exclaiming that it is about as big as her face!

A single Whopper at Japan’s new Burger King will cost 370 yen, or about three US dollars (slightly higher than the cost of a Whopper in America?).

Isn’t the cost of beef slightly higher in Japan?

Japan had a ban on imported beef due to Mad Cow.

But that would also assume that BK used beef.

Instead of their standard soylent green.

Heh, I contradict myself.

This is all part of an American conspiracy to get Japanese people fat.
