Burger King releases King Yeti in Japan

Funny. Well played, @Kyo wa heiwa dayo ne 12:01pm:

“This burger will give you big feet.” -

From gout ? ; )

That's one ugly burger, but I'd give it a try. Once, that is.

I want one

This burger will give you big feet

100% beef ?

If you believe that then your truly gullible.

I'd like to see what the actual burger looks like, not their advertisment pic.

Looks like a veritable Feast o' Doom. Don't get me wrong; back in my teenage years (mid-late 70s) I could have polished this off. But next month I turn 60, and well....I wanna turn 61 :)

They should call it 'The Bathroom Destroyer'.

Burger King has a fruitless menu. Also fruitless to argue @bass4funk when some still don’t understand the concept of moderation, limiting portions and confining their focus to the issue at hand rather than conflating things with too many off-tangent ideas & unhealthy choices. Keep it simple and enjoy the taste.

The burgers are always consumed along with portions of French fries and soda drinks. 

Ok and? Well, the soda really hits the spot! Especially 7-Up.

I suppose more Americans die from gun homicides and mass shootings than from burgers. But all of those put a strain and cost on the country.

Guns have nothing to do with food or tobacco

The tobacco smoked is grown in America.

And Europeans brought it to Europe and love it and still smoke it a lot.

*Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States.*

And still more people in Europe die over Americans. Anyway, a good burger is always good. Made me hungry. Had some great burgers in Korea last week (Koreans make some of the tastiest burgers in Asia)?and I will go to BK and get this one.

Not sure if ‘plant based’ are still available in Feb 2022 @Lamily 10:28am as BK “made limited numbers”.

“*Priced at 590 yen for the burger and 890 yen for a set with medium-sized fries and a drink, the new menu offering is only being made in limited numbers, so once stocks are gone, they’ll disappear from the menus to*o.” -

@Lamilly 10:28am: “Is the BK plant burger coming any time soon. Just to give consumers a choice.” -

In addition to routinely checking keep health indicators like blood pressure, BMI, etc its also always best to check their current menus, links and statistical numbers on your own as some information on the internet is sometimes fabricated to sell products or sway the public towards specific agendas/

*"Americans devour nearly 50 billion burgers each year. *

So what? Let them if that’s what they want. Especially if they taste good.

There are approximately 325,000,000 people in this country, so if my math is indeed correct that means that the average American consumes 154 burgers each year or 3 every week."

Ok and?

Americans eat three burgers a week on average

So what? You have more Europeans die of smoking.

https://www.realclearscience.com/journal_club/2012/11/10/who_smokes_more_americans_or_europeans_106403.html

I don’t worry if Europeans want to smoke and and if people want to smoke, let them. I hate it, but they have that right and if people want to eat burgers all day, let them.

@GBR48 1:31am - “Burger King clearly didn't get the eat-less-meat-and-save-the-planet memo. Ethical investors take note.” -

Obesity & being overweight are not just due to overeating but there may be other underlying factors, possibly attributable to one’s heredity, glandular issues and thyroid problems.

Always best to have adequate health screenings at least twice a year as we age.

Then, as @Strangerland 1:33am recommends:

- “Anyone who cares about their health shouldn't eat fast food more than once every month or two.” -

Looks good. But the Caesar sauce ruins it for me. It reminds me of the time I first ate a Baconator from Wendy's. It was so dang good, I ended up eating two of them. Can't really do that anymore as simply inhaling food puts weight on me these days.

Looks quite tasty. Good marketing. “The Himalaya” would also be a good name. Surprised “yeti” is not another ‘national cultural treasure temporarily “on loan” from Japan’s neighbors.

Drama, drama, drama..

No actual Yeti are used in this burger.

Ba dum tss !!..

American junk chains working hard to get the Japanese population to be as unhealthy as their home constituents. Enjoy the gunk.... I prefer to eat food.

America is the number one consumer of fast foods.

No

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-obese-countries

Now, having that cleared up, we do have an obesity problem but we are NOT the ONLY ones that have an obesity problem.

California has a high number of vegetarians.

You are the funniest person, trying to tell me what I already know about my own home state, bless you. LOL

According to a University of Texas study, people in hot, humid regions (Mississippi) exercise less and are more likely to be obese. The opposite is also true with residents of areas with cold, long winters (Minnesota) are less active and more obese as well. 

The populated areas of California have more temperate climates, more active lifestyles and many there are more concerned with health and general appearance. 

Still, Californians do enjoy the old In-N-Out as a weekly cheat. 

Enjoy life. Everything in moderation is the key to longevity.

You are 100% correct.

Meat is the fossil fuel of the obese.

No, that's ridiculous. Meat is the fuel of muscles. Processed foods are the fuel of the obese. Quality meats are healthy and nutritious for you. I've lived a life of athletics, and a life of meat eating, and there isn't a human being on this planet who would describe me as obese.

Burger King clearly didn't get the eat-less-meat-and-save-the-planet memo

Well now you're talking a different issue. This isn't the same as health. And here I would agree - factory farming of meat is damaging our planet, and most people could handle dropping their meat intake.

Fast foods are the basis of American obesity.

Not really, the amount however is.

Once again American binary thinking. They both are mate. Processed food contributes to obesity. The same amount of calories from processed foods and natural foods will result in higher levels of obesity from the processed foods. It's not a one or the other situation. Eating large portions of nutritionally deficient processed foods can only lead to being a fatass. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/obesity-and-weight-loss-why-overall-calorie-intake-may-not-be-so-important

Anyone who cares about their health shouldn't eat fast food more than once every month or two.

Meat is the fossil fuel of the obese. Burger King clearly didn't get the eat-less-meat-and-save-the-planet memo. Ethical investors take note.

I guess one solution to a future Japan having half as many people is for each of them to weigh twice as much.

Might be abominable, yeti could be delicious. Only one way to find out!

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 64% of U.S adults and 15% of children and adolescents are overweight.

Got any figures from the UK @zichi? I'm guessing we aren't too far behind.

Fast foods are the basis of American obesity.

Not really, the amount however is. The US is by far not the only country that likes its junk food, but the US takes the lead when it comes to the amount of food we eat, we have massive portions, unlike any other country.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 64% of U.S adults and 15% of children and adolescents are overweight. ...

CDC again?

It was found that children who ate fast food consumed more total and saturated fat, more carbohydrates, sugar, and less dietary fiber, milk, fruit, and vegetables.

Again, it depends. People in California are a lot healthier and in better shape than someone from Mississippi

“Thank you” @Jeans and T-shirt 10:29am for providing that link to the thread earlier today with your recommendations. Good to see positive things still coming from livestrong. As an avid cyclist, most stats could be just a bunch of numbers, unless coming from a verifiable source. It was a good read and feel better about plans to enjoy this limited offer from Burger King.

“These recommendations for an average male don't put the figure anything less than 2000.

As for the burger: sold.”

Looking forward to your review.

She’s sounds lovely @ClippetyClop 11:18pm:

*[“Tuesday”?! - Is it coming by Amazon*!]

“This missus is working in Edo that day and is bringing one back in her pocket.”-

“Tuesday”?! - Is it coming by Amazon!

This missus is working in Edo that day and is bringing one back in her pocket.

Well done @bass4funk 11:02pm. Please post a review. Someone had some previous difficulties with their “Spicy” burger.

“Maybe tomorrow. Here in Fukuoka we only have 2 BK locations.” -

Will try on Monday.

“Tuesday”?! - Is it coming by Amazon!

@ClippetyClop 11:03pm: “Just ordered one, arriving Tuesday.” -

Correction to 10:59pm: typed “…grass-fed…” but posted “grain” upon pressing POST.

Just ordered one, arriving Tuesday.

Have you tried the BK Japan’s Texas Double Whopper ? Probably doesn’t compare to great USDA grain-fed beef.

Maybe tomorrow. Here in Fukuoka we only have 2 BK locations.

Well stated @bass4funk 10:37pm. Some just don’t understand how moderation should work:

- “If you eat it every single day then yes, but the vast majority don't, so indulge every now and then, I definitely will.” -

Have you tried the BK Japan’s Texas Double Whopper ? Probably doesn’t compare to great USDA grain-fed beef.

Very unhealthy heading into heart attacks how many calories?

If you eat it every single day then yes, but the vast majority don't, so indulge every now and then, I definitely will.

Japan is one of the largest beef importing countries in the world, sourcing inexpensive meat from Australia and North America. Burger King is known as Hungry Jack’s down under.

I wonder where Burger King sources bovine flesh from to assuage our desire for blood and meat?

I live down the street from a BK. I'll have to do some intermittent fasting before I indulge in a Yeti.

Well said @DavidBrent 4:59pm. You deserve it. Perhaps those that choose a continuous, sedentary lifestyle don’t deserve a ‘cheat day’ once a week.

*- @DavidBrent 4:59pm: “After burning 1000 calories at the gym in the morning, this will be my lunch!“ -*

After burning 1000 calories at the gym in the morning, this will be my lunch!

Surprisingly low in calories.

Lets see, do I have enough Docomo points for a new heart......

BK not bad but for that price a non-fast-food burger is much better.

“Burned”? @ExpressSister 10:11am? - By BK’s prices, quality, the ‘spicy’ taste or, ‘the next day’ consequences ?

Perhaps next time, a simple In-N-Out burger will pass mustard ? Correction: “pass muster”

Just the sheer amount of meat. Messed me up a bit, it was too much - and I wasn't nuts about the spices they used. It was too vinegary.

Ordinarily I like BK. Not an everyday thing, but once in a while, it's good. I prefer it to, say, Five Guys, in terms of price vs quality.

Can I get in on the treat you're giving Aly?

LOVE BK with a passion!

I’ll treat Aly!

You're on brother!

Don’t worry about the price! Treat a friend to lunch! It’s all part of Tokyo Living: “Be welcoming to everyone regardless of their individual tastes & origins!”

wish there were more people with your kindness and warmth!

That's basically four burgers stacked on top of each other. Waaaay too much food for me. Pass.

No actual Yeti are used in this burger.

Well that's disappointing :-(

Will still give it a go.

- @Expresssister 10:11am: “…Not gonna get this. I was burned (and not in a good way) by their one pound spicy burger two years ago.”

The meal deal should come with a booster shot, because once you eat this you will have underlying health conditions

Why don't they just call it the Mr. Creosote?

It's not wafer-thin.

Not gonna get this. I was burned (and not in a good way) by their one pound spicy burger two years ago.

Don’t worry about the price! Treat a friend to lunch! It’s all part of Tokyo Living: “Be welcoming to everyone regardless of their individual tastes & origins!”

@AlyRustom 9:50am:

Yes!

but the price...

I’ll treat Aly!

Of course, those so concerned can -1 (or -2) all the want of their cheese, IF they feel it’s necessary. Wait! BK is offering to help them continue to enjoy life! (Always in due in moderation, of course; )

“Considering its hefty size, Burger King is offering customers the option to order a “half cut”, which means the burger will be served to you sliced down the middle in two for ease of eating.” -

Take half home to enjoy later, (Recommend putting the meat under the broiler for about a minute before eating. Returns that fresh grilled taste.)

Yes!

but the price...

Looks quite tasty. Good marketing. “The Himalaya” would also be a good name. Surprised “yeti” is not another ‘national cultural treasure temporarily “on loan” from Japan’s neighbors.

As elusive as it’s namesake, it’s only seen in Japan “for a limited time”.

No actual Yeti are used in this burger.

Locks good but I haven't had one, yeti.

Yes for me.

I'm interested.
