Burger King Japan selling Windows 7 burgers | Electronista — Cripes. This sandwich looks toxic. Are we trying to kill the Japanese. Or is it a gag?
Microsoft has taken the unusual step of promoting Windows 7 in Japan with Burger King’s launch of a Windows 7 Whopper. Fitting in with the software theme, the burger stacks seven patties in an otherwise normal Whopper and measures 5.1 inches tall. It also has an appropriate 777 yen $8.53 price.

#3 both sales and profits slumped badly. Earning grew only because of cutbacks. The company must improve its cash flow to get to 50. I don;t see it.

#10 Good one!
#17 Another good one. People seem on a roll today.
I’m going with #15 HMeyers for the win. Literally LOL when I read that. Just the idea of eating two … or more … RALPH!!
this isn’t anything new, when I was in Japan in 2007 McDonald’s had a Big Tomago burger with three patties, three slices of cheese, and an egg with special sauce. and if you got the combo it came with large fries, a coke, and a 6 piece McNuggets! they sold alot of them
Just like the Zune being windows (and pretty much US) only, why not try and WIN over Mac using Vegans like myself? Is that just left in the “too hard” basket?
‘Course it pales to the original In-n-Out 20×20.
No crappy software involved.
(Just google it if you don’t know)
#3 Postman
$50? Waiter, I’ll have whatever Postman’s drinking.
I think I see an installation DVD between patty #3 and #4…
Waiter, I’d like a 6-pack of Snow Leopard Shots, instead.
With this quality marketing, how could Microsoft fail?
#13 I use that pic a lot..it was just a placeholder for this story. It’s hard to offend the readers of this blog from what I can tell. We DO try.
Couldn’t they have just gone with a 7 ounce burger? Instead of 7 wafer thin beef patties, probably an ounce or so, each. Not all of which is purely lean beef. I would have respected a more healthy product. Like a 7 inch long Subway sandwich. Or a 7 ounce yogurt, now that so many brands are down to 6. All this food product theater will be temporary. I’d be surprised if they kept selling that burger past this Fall.
Another marketing blunder for Microsoft. Can’t they hire someone that’s actually in touch to replace Ballmer and help protect them from themselves? This is so sad. WTF are these people thinking?
Gee, I wonder what the Windows 95 burger looked like…
