Meat Monster Takes Japan By Storm


          
          What do you get when you combine a cheeseburger, several strips of bacon, slap another burger patty on top, and then crown that pile of meat with a grilled chicken breast? If you guessed a PETA activist’s nightmare, you’re probably right. But that’s not the answer I’m looking for. This is in fact a sandwich, and Japanese patrons of the international burger chain can use their burger king coupons to pick one up anytime they please.
         The name of this incredible concoction is, appropriately, “The Meat Monster.” Last week the king unveiled his creation to Japanese consumers as part of the ‘Have it Your Way” campaign which is aimed at encouraging people to make a la carte additions to their whoppers.
         This is no cheap thrill – it costs about ten bucks, which is what US consumers can expect to pay for a burger & side at a sit-down spot. There’s also no word on the calorie count, but you can bet that it’s nothing too light. If you base the calorie count on the individual elements as estimated from American equivalents is at least 1160 calories – quite the bang for your burger king coupon! If this all seems a bit too gluttonous to wrap your head around, refer to the handy-dandy diagram: it makes the whole monstrosity perfectly clear.
