Burger Kings in Japan are selling limited edition Windows 7 Whoppers to coincide with the release of the Windows 7 operating system. The bugger consists of seven (of course!) beef patties stacked on a sesame seed bun accompanied by lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise.
Only thirty Windows 7 Whoppers will be sold a day for the special price of $8.55 (¥777, get it?) and then, inexplicably, from the 31st person onwards, Burger King will charge $17.10 per burger. Wouldn’t it make more sense to jack the price up after selling seven Windows 7 Whoppers for the special price? Just saying.
