Somehow the Japanese seem to have the best ideas, even when they're under the management of Western entrepreneurs; the Pizza-Sized Whopper is a testament to their devotion to innovative marketing, competitive strategy and artery-clogging meat.
You may not want to share the Pizza-Sized Whopper with your date, nor would it be kosher to eat it alone, so who is this tasty treat precisely targeting? Besides people like me who have little regard for health, it seems that this experiment is simply a holiday special. Clocking in at 8.8 inches, the new Whopper comes in two varieties: fresh avocado and nacho cheese flavor. Although it's only being offered at Burger King locations in Japan, I'm more than willing to drop $1,000 on a plane ticket and another $22 on the meal!
