The fatty burger behemoth contains more than 2500 calories, is 5.1 inches tall and costs just 777 yen - about £5.
It went on sale in outlets in Japan today to coincide with the release of the new operating system.
Although the promotional picture looks relatively appetising - well, sort of - the actual product left a lot to be desired.

That can't be healthy.

[StraitShooter]

[Ace_of_Spades]

[mrcjmann]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Richkas]

I would order a piece of cheese on every patty.

[Chi_archie]

needs way more cheese

[TheLock]

Meh. When I want some greasy food just give me a Whopper with cheese some O-Rings and a coke. If you can get your mouth around 7 patties then you've been cramming too much pole in your face.

Needs more cheese, may as well just eat a few steaks if you want that much meat.
