30 minutes to get your fill. 30 minutes is not enough time for
greatness.
Burger King Japan is at it again. Since their big return to
Japan five years ago they have come up with some amazing deals to set them
apart from other fast food restaurants. One of the past deals was 15 extra
strips of bacon for 100 yen (83 cents). This lead to one Japanese fanatic
ordering a whopper with 1050 extra strips. (Extra bacon Whopper)
This time around BK Japan is offering “all you can eat”
deals when you order a large burger combo. They have put in a lot of rules to
this deal to prevent people from killing themselves with a beefy overdose but
if you’re hungry this definitely a good way to stuff yourself.
Starting November 17th and running until November
30th when you order 1 of 5 large burger combos you have the option
of starting the “BiKing” (see side note) campaign. All you have to do is return
your wrapper and receipt to the register and you can get another burger (fries,
rings, drink also). You now have 30 minutes to eat as much as you want.
The type of burger you can order under this special plan is
spread out over the two week span. From the 17th to the 21st
it is the “Black Whopper” (made with bamboo charcoal and squid ink). From the
22nd to the 30th it’s the regular Whopper, Double
Whopper, and the Fresh Avocado Whopper.
I’m a big fan of Burger King. I’ve gone to some great
lengths to get a Whopper. Up until 18 months ago the only way for me to get my
fill was a long trip to Tokyo or to fly to another BK friendly country. But
because of this long yearning for Whoppers I have come to revere them more.
Rather than spend 30 minutes gorging myself on 3 or 4 Whoppers I think I’d
prefer to savor just one….or two…..with 15 extra pieces of bacon.
Side note: “Baikin” in Japanese means buffet. It is a
bastardization of English. Buffet = Smorgasbord= Viking= Baikin(phonetic)=
BiKing.
