Burger with 1,050 strips of bacon

We thought BK had made a break through in the states with introduction of bacon milkshakes, but we discovered a hidden door to an entirely new next level of genius in Japan. Japanese Burger Kings have launched an campaign of super sizing its whoppers by giving patrons the option of adding 15 extra strips of bacon for 100 yen (76p/$1.24).

Brilliant.

The team at a Japanese news site ordered one with a total of 1,050 strips of bacon. Yeah, that’s an 58,000 calories to a Whopper, but what’s a few calories for the price of happiness?

We’d like six to go, please.
