Over 10,000 Windows 7 Burgers sold in Japan
The Windows 7 Burger was a collaborative effort between Microsoft and Burger King to promote both companies in Japan for the Windows 7 release. The burger contains a whopping 7 layers of beef, which measures to a 5-inch (12cm) tower. The first 30 burgers were sold for 777 yen ($8.55 USD). Any Windows 7 burger after the first 30 were sold for 1450 yen ($16 USD). The burger contains a total of 2120 calories, which is almost a day’s worth of calories for most people!
According to TIME, the burger joint sold over 10,000 of these burgers since October 30th. Considering that there are only 15 Burger Kings in all of Japan and the obvious fact that this burger is probably not too healthy, this is an impressive number.
Here’s a video [via Gizmodo] recalling the experience of the Windows 7 Burger.

the new Big Macrosoft Burger ?

So sad, they are all now turning into fat Americans. What a waste is culture, shame on these companies. Rotting the minds and bodies of such great nations.
[...] Now I’m a pretty big burger eater but I’m not sure if I would be able to handle this bad boy, I could care less about the 2120 calories this burger comes with, my concern is whether or not I would even be able to get out of my chair after I ate one. I’m not sure if you can one of these in the U.S. but I plan to make a trip down to Burger King and see if they make one just for the fun of it. Anyway I just thought this would be a fun post, you can read the rest of the story and comments here. [...]
its probably not as bad as we think, being the population is so large they probably sold 10,000 burgers to 10,000 separate people with no repeat buyers, they just bought it, tried it as a novelty, and went back to their regular diet. Over here if they sold 10,000 of those stupid things they could do it my neighborhood alone.
I think or more so hope the people in Japan treat McDonalds as a joke or novelty not as a regular source of food as we do.
