Just when you thought your life was complete, Japan’s Burger King creates a monster of a burger to promote the Windows 7 launch today.

What do you get? 7 Burgers, for ¥777 and it’s only available for…you guessed it, 7 days.

Off to catch a flight to Japan. Catch you later.

    no, once you’ve eaten one, MS will release Windows 8

  • Gosh I'm hungry. I bet I can eat 7 of these

  • Burger King would do anything it can to promote it self.

  • Is this really a good idea? Do you really want people to die from heart attacks before they can upgrade from Vista?

  • Bob Firestone: If one 7-patty Whopper is going to kill you, upgrading operating systems is the least of your problems. A pattern of eating 7-patty burgers is going to make you more likely to have a heart attack, but not just one!


    Besides, I think the burger is aimed at that subset of Japanese kids who want to grow up to become a competitive eater just like the great Kobayashi.

    Like Windows 7, you never asked for it, and it’s hard to swallow.
