Burger King selling a Windows 7 Whopper in Japan

Confirming our belief that Japan is at once among the coolest and craziest places on this planet we all call home is Burger King's exclusive Windows 7 Whopper. Seven stacked beef patties extend your usual Whopper to over five inches in height and the whole thing costs an appropriate ¥777 (or $8.55). It'll be available for one week only -- or seven days, get it? Join us past the break to see the full towering size of this meaty monstrosity.

Update: Andy Yang, our Engadget Chinese editor, has read the smallprint and noted that in fact only the first 30 customers each day will get the Win 7 Whopper at ¥777, with the rest shelling out a cool ¥1,450 ($17.10) for the privilege. Way to break with the number 7 theme, guys.

Funny, isn't it, that the more mainstream an IT company is, the less mainstream fast food it cooperates with :) I wonder how much Jobs paid McDees' for the Big Mac... :))) And in Poland, you always get a free APPLE on top of a HAPPY Meal :)))
And what fast food would be appriopriate for Linux???

[DRoizman Posted Oct 22nd 2009 10:19AM]

This sucks... im a Mac user and i can only have healthy Apples :(

Yes, but you, just like your computer will be viable longer.

You could make a snow leopard burger.

[brookey86 Posted Oct 22nd 2009 10:22AM]

[Andr Posted Oct 22nd 2009 10:30AM]

There are so few Burger Kings in Japan. I think Tokyo's really the only place you're going to find one :x

I had a short trip to Seoul while living in Japan and I pretty much came when I saw a BK at the airport and hadn't had it in soooo long. Yum.

Sweet! I'll go and install my new copy of Windows 7 right after I finish my Windows 7 Whopp*keels over and dies of heart attack*

So THATS how they plan to prevent people from installing Windows 7...

**This comment was intended for humor only, I personally run Windows 7 and think it's great. Please eat responsibly...7 Patties is not responsible. Awesome, maybe...but definitely not responsible.

[DestrictoEnse Posted Oct 22nd 2009 10:54AM]

BK did Triple Whoppers for a while in Ireland, they were awesome. Seem to have ceased recently though.

[PerryAJ Posted Oct 22nd 2009 11:16AM]

gross...

Who wants 6 extra patties of partially hydrogenation soy turd infused junk meat? Not me man, not me.

You couldn't pay ME $17 to eat that greasy heart attack.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 11:18AM]

Ha this is ridiculous.. If Japan was a person I would recommend that it see a psyciatrist...

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 11:38AM]

Japan is over 30,000 years old. Mind your elders.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 11:26AM]

Now your heart can BSOD too.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 11:50AM]

mmmmmm... it looks adequate because if Windows turned into a burger, it would be VERY HARD TO EAT.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 12:42PM]

Where do I enter the product key? Will I need to activate it?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 12:36PM]

Someone got their numbers wrong. 1450 yen is $15.88 USD.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 2:14PM]

Wow, Bloated and Nauseating, just like Windows!

[JMONA Posted Oct 22nd 2009 2:37PM]

I wonderz what would be Mac's strategy in a Mac Vs Windows commercial with this thing?????...................

[Denimourson Posted Oct 22nd 2009 3:39PM]

I wonder how much calories this think has?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 5:43PM]

Where is my "Mac OSX Snow Leopard Whopper?" Now that sounds delicious.

[ZbHRP Posted Oct 22nd 2009 5:48PM]

It reminds me of one thing..

Windows 7 is American (bloated..)

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 23rd 2009 10:47AM]

I want to be near this burger

[GreenElf Posted Oct 23rd 2009 11:50AM]

Heart attack on a bun. ._.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 26th 2009 11:57AM]

And you think Windows 7 ISN'T bloatware?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2009 12:50AM]

We did the challenge today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN-7FTiqv5M

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 6th 2009 7:54AM]

We just took the challenge ourselves here in little Denmark in a city called Kolding. In our lunchbreak we went to Burger King with a printed image of the Windows 7 Whopper. At the counter we met with the manager of the kitchen who took our order - Could we please have 5 Windows 7 Whoppers, please. Just the look at her face was worth all the money. She had to call her boss to check if it was doable. She couln't reach her superior so she decided it would be a humorous challenge. Only 3-4 minutes later we got our meat fest. Only one of us finished a complete Windows 7 Whopper and the rest came really close. I'm glad I didn't order Oninion rings and a shake too.

We bow to the winner among us.
