SEVEN PATTIES!!
Today is Windows 7 Day, so get ready for a barrage of marketing surrounding the new OS from Microsoft as well as its partners. Yes, you'll see plenty of marketing from the likes of Dell and HP, but would you ever guess Burger King would be part of the fray?
Burger King in Japan has unveiled the Windows 7 Whopper, which does the new Windows version number proud by offering a whopping seven meat patties. It also costs 777 yen, which is around $8.50.
Since most of you won't be able to eat one of these, you'll just have to feast your eyes on this image:

Doh! mmmmmmm, burger.
If only they sold it with a 77 oz coke and 77 oz fries

777 Yen for 77lbs Thunder Thighs? COOOOL!!! This is a Man's burger. Women beware.
Damn........
*That is all I can say*
that does not look good.....
DAMN!!!!!
If they sold that locally, I sure as hell would buy one and give it a try.
wow 7 slices of meat for 8.50$!!! LOL
been running WINDOWS 7 since the BETA release via MSDN.
RTM 7600 64-bit IS FLAWLESS IN MY OPINION; Owns all Microsoft OS
Very strange that Burger King is advertising an operating systems for Microsoft, I think McDonald's would have been more effective!
I'd hate to think of what happened when the vista burger came out
word is tomorrow they are going to rename it to the heart stopper and will come with a free defibrillator
GIVE ME THE WHOOPPER!
Good thing they didn't do that for Windows 2000
this should have been the ad for the ad for the burger:

They should be selling that in America, much better market for that sort of thing.
I am in awe of the awesomeness of that burger.
this is what i look like wanting that whoopper. lol

Yuck, I hate to think of the disgusting mess this thing actually looks like when you open the wrapper... no-one here truly believes it'll look anything like that pic do they?
My god... they should call it the Heart Clogger!!!
What the hell? That looks yucky.
My god... they should call it the Heart Clogger!!!
So that will cover my meals for the next 2 days right?

Even though we wish it would look as it is pictured, the sad reality here is the laws in the USA (Not sure of other countries) allow restaurants to get away with showing one thing and serving something entirely different as long as it's what is promised.
What is shown in the Advertisements is called Puffing and is entirely legal. Yet at the same time, the restaurants get away with very little of what they show on the actual item.
I wish the FDA would make Puffing illegal and that they would make restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King serve exactly what they advertise the same way they advertise it.
I still remember when they would use whole leaf lettuce on the burgers instead of the shredded crap they use these days.
If my experience with BK is correct, that burger isn't as big as it looks.
Needs cheese imo...
Actually puffing is a good point. You probably have some translucent paint thinner used on that picture to make it look more mouth watering.
They really needed to name it the Vista burger. "All that great tasting bloat that you WON'T find in Windows 7"

No, there are rules regarding food in advertising here in the US.. You have to show a real product that you would sell in the restaurant, so no paint thinner. Now that doesnt mean you cant make 100 of them until you find that one that looks absolutely perfect though. I went to culinary school and they offer classes on how all that is done.
what? no cheese? this sucks!

Puff is when they make it look better than it actually is such as multiple "thick & large" slices of tomatoes, plenty of whole leaf lettuce, large slices of onions and what ever else they may actually show in the picture.
But the reality when you order would be only a sprinkle of chopped lettuce, a pinch of diced onion and if you're lucky, one or two paper thin slices of tomato. The worst thing is they get away with this legally.

I beg to differ, but there is a law out there regarding Puffing.
I found out about this from a guy who used to be a Union President. This guy busted some big companies which tried to play dirty politics. He also later on became a manager at a Burger King for awhile.
JEsus christ I thought Japanese fast food was sold in samller amount because those asians dont eat as much...I would expect something like that to come to America since everyone likes they're things BIG here in America.
