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 the fuck are you talking about, perez? gas in england is SOOOOOOO much more expensive-double the price we pay here…..us americans have it easy. get your facts straight.
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.
um you do know that in the UK they pay more for gas (or petrol) than we do in America right? Do your research.
I think we're up to just about 185 dead horse beaters here!!
Damn these Brits really don't give it up do they???
Do any of you READ the previous comments. If you did you'd realize that ONLY 185 people already mentioned that gas costs more in the UK — WE KNOW!!!!
There's not such thing as prosciutto "pata negra"!! It's spanish jamón serrano, that's called pata negra (because of the distinctive black hoof!!) Ahh!! y se supone que deberias de saberlo a estas alturas bloody Perez!!
Keep up the diet… it's working you're looking more and more fantastic every time I see a photo of you!!
You really are an inspiration….

ew what is a truffle?
this isso dumb, and such a waste of time. first of all i doubt perez or whatever the fuck even knows about this being on "his" blog, its so dumb that he got famous for this bullshit which is exactly what everyone avoids on entertainment tonight, and the Enquirer, but because some dude with pink hair and has a name that sounds the same as some slut. its immediatly fantastic. read this perez, this shit is whatever. fuck yes id buy one of those burgers, and 95Euros is around 148 bucks, not well above 185. stop 12 year olds from writing reviews. now thats a damn blog. Burger King rocks
wtf? this is ridiculous! $185 for a burger. wow,america is in debut and we are still going up on prices. good job!
just for the record…. Pata Negra is a spanish ham, not italian!
us brits arent going to be buying this either - our gas prices are a nightmare - converts to over $12 a gallon!
Like hell someone would pay £95 for a fricking burger!
and Petrol is way expensive over here also, one petrol station is charging £2 a litre!!! WTF
Oh Noes! $4 a gallon!!! We pay over $2 A LITRE! Stop whining!
I'm going to buy one of these out of spite…
"Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!"
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?
what an idiot, gas is far cheaper in the US than in the UK. Typical insularity.
Are you joking? The UK economy is a mess too. Try paying UK petrol prices! I can't afford a regular priced burger!
ummmm? if it's supposed to be elite, why do they use japanese beef? shouldn't they use Argentinian beef?
Pata negra is not italian prosciutto but spanish jamon!!!!!!!!
Right. And while kids everywhere in North America and across the globe are starving on food bank brown beans, rich greedy fucks are scarfing down $200 burgers.
Welcome to Planet Stupid.
ummmm SINCE WHEN…WAS GAS CHEAP IN ENGLAND????
Ummm well it's not like people in the UK can afford gas either…cause if you didn't know PEREZ, with the exchange rate gas over there is like $10 /per gallon? No you didn't cause you never seem to do your research or read 'world' news.
ARE GAS PRICES ARE HIGH TO MAYBE EVEN HIGHER SO SHUT UP PEREZ!
LOLOL what is the point in that? no-one would buy that! ken maybe £20 but none of your £95. complete waste if u ask me!!
"Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!"
are you stupid?? do you know how much gas costs overseas?? shut up
Stop complaining about your gas-prices! In Norway we pay $ 12 for 1 gallon. You have CHEAP gas, you've just been spoiled earlier!
whey ghey
NO OFFENCE PEREZ BUT DO UR RESEARCH PEOPLE IN UK ARE PAYING TRIPLE WHAT AMERICA ARE PAYING FOR PETROL SO STOP COMPLAINING!
YOU REALLY ARE AN IDIOT.
GAS IS ABOUT 4 TIMES AS EXPENSIVE IN THE UK AS IT HERE IN THE STATES.
so much for your faux uk status loser
