Remember the Windows 7 Whopper that Burger King and Microsoft launched jointly to celebrate the launch of Windows 7? If you missed it the first time, this monster burger featured 7 patties and cost 777 yen, (approx $8.55) for the first 30 Burger King customers then 1,450 yen ( $17.10 ):
Well, I’m not sure if it’s because the Windows 7 Whopper provides enough meat to feed a family of four for a week, or because Japanese people like to punish their arteries, but Time magazine are reporting that Burger King Japan are selling 10,000 Windows 7 Whoppers a week. That’s more impressive when you consider there are only 15 Burger Kings in Japan – that’s 95 orders a day or 8 Windows 7 Whoppers an hour (assuming stores open 12 hours a day). I imagine that the stores can’t physically serve more than 100 Windows 7 Whoppers a day because there’s not enough space to cook any more patties or to store all the grease and lard that must be produced!
I really hope that the Japanese health system are staffing up to cope with the inevitable heart attacks!
