Talk About A Whopper!

Burger King is set to launch the world's most expensive burger ever at a fast food restaurant!

The burger will even make Guinness World Record history, beating out 1994's American Double Truffle Burger.

B.K.'s latest creation is simply called The Burger.

It will include flame grilled Wagyu Beef, topped with white truffles on a truffle bun.

The Burger is going to cost £95, so a bit over $185.00!!

Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!

It is being described as having "The world's most succulent Japanese beef complemented with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto."

Many believe this is clearly a publicity stunt.

Sounds like one to us. Hey, it worked.

One critic says, "This is just a PR stunt, even more absurd than the coffee costing virtually as much as a semi-detached house in Crewe. Burger bars are desperate to move up market as more people question why they are filling their bodies with fast food. But who will really spend £95 in Burger King?"

As for B.K., their vice president of marketing, David Kisilevsky, has said "The Burger is an extension of Burger King's quality burger menu and is aimed at burger aficionados, looking for the ultimate burger taste experience. It reflects our ongoing commitment to producing the best quality burgers for a range of different pockets and reinforces our quality credentials."

Too bad we're on a diet and trying to eat healthy.

We could so go for a Burger right now!

      What do you mean people can barely afford to pay for their gas in the US? We have the lowest tax per gallon compared to the rest of the world. Wait til it hits $10 a gallon, then we'll fill the pinch. And yes, I do know that there are some that this is a hardship too, I was in that boat 20 years ago scrimping and checking the couch for change for gas money to get to work. Put things in perspective, really. This still is a the best country to live in.

      You are so painfully misinformed about the WORLD economy it makes my brain hurt. What the fuck is the fucking point in your existence, anyway, you dirty little leech?
