Burger King Windows 7 Whopper "unboxing" video

Hi all,

The crew here at Manga University decided to have a little fun and do an "unboxing" video of the Burger King Windows 7 Whopper — a Japan-only item that consists of seven meat patties.

Is this burger just another example of Microsoft bloatware? Check out the video and decide for yourself.

If you wipe it on the wall, can you see through it?

Next: obesity on the rise in Japan among windows users.


Holy shat, the weight...

You might want to to put cellphones on a cat for comparison. Or see if the cat will pass out with the cheese burger. LOL bow chicka bow wow music clip toward the end.


Edit: Hum something wrong with the weight? The video showss 4kg / around 9 pounds, weighting more than 17" MBP. Is that right?

Some other story such as cnn says it's 1.7 pound which might be a more reasonable number? Huge difference. Maybe your scale is in pounds or cnn can't do math? Strange. Yes I can see "kg" on the scale.

As a vegan, that was insulting.
That was so gross! Even if I did still eat meat, I wouldn't eat that crap.
Fire up the grill and cook a turkey burger!

Insulting? How does that work? It's insulting that other people do not follow your beliefs?

One of the members of the Manga University team that worked on the video is a vegetarian, and was definitely grossed out by the burger. In fact, it grossed out the meat-eaters among us, too -- and the taste was pretty nasty!

Is the burger free if you can finish eating it without puking?

BUSTED!

Yeah, we "doctored" the scale — for the sake of comedy.

Just like we didn't really plug the burger into that monitor and keyboard.

According to a video report, that Whopper packs a ~2000 calorie content, enough for the days take.

So, if the Windows 7 burger has 7 patties, does the OS X burger have 10 patties? Kinda like this one.

The Windows 7 Whopper gives whole new meaning to the term "FAT-32."

Heh, it gets worse. That is the In N Out Burger 10x10. Ten patties and ten slices of cheese. While searching for a pic of it, I also found pics of a 20x20 and even a 100x100.

It's a 10x10 at In-N-Out. You can request any number of patties but I believe the most anyone has requested was 10.

I don't think I could even finish 10x10 (barely 5x5)
