Around the World: Burger King Japan Offers 15 Strips of Bacon for 100 Yen, Man Orders 1050 Strips

Burger King Japan is currently running a promotion where you can get 15 strips of bacon on your Whopper for an extra 100 yen (currently about $1.23 U.S.). That's pretty cheap and 500% more than the regular amount (it's normally 3 strips for 60 yen)!

They're calling it the "Bacon Bomb" (at least according to Google Translate).

I love bacon but I'm not sure I'd want 15 strips of it in my Whopper (4 or 8 but not 15!). Of course, in the spirit of obscene (or glorious, depending on your viewpoint) fascination, one intrepid Japanese man decided to order a Whopper with a whopping 1050 strips of bacon (or roughly $86 worth) and take on the challenge (and health risk) of actually eating it. Check out the video after the jump.

News: Chick-fil-A - New Desserts

If you look at the dessert menu at your local  Chick-fil-A, you might notice some new dessert changes. Cheesecake and Lemon Pie are gone, in their place, Chick-fil-A has updated their Fudge Brownie and added new Sundaes and fresh-baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies.

The Fudge Brownies no longer has walnuts (apparently too many people either didn't like them or were allergic) and instead is finished with a creamy fudge icing. They retail for $1.69.

Review: Panda Express - Shanghai Angus Steak

So I dropped by my local Panda Express to get my free single serving of Shanghai Angus Steak today.

Shanghai Angus Steak brings seasoned and seared, thick-cut slices of Angus Top Sirloin tossed in a wok with asparagus, mushrooms, and Panda Express's new Asian steak sauce to their menu.

It's a premium menu item and will cost you a $1 more over the normal entrees (i.e. if you buy a two-entree plate, it will cost $7.29 instead of $6.29 at my local Panda Express).

What's on the Menu: Pizza Hut UK 2012

The Internet has been abuzz about Pizza Hut UK's recent limited-time menu item, the new Hot Dog Stuffed Pizza, topped however you like and with a free mustard drizzle (is that really a selling point?) but I'd thought it be interesting to see what else they're serving at Pizza Hut across the Pond.

Review: H.K. Anderson - Popcorn Style Pretzel Balls

I'd never heard of H.K. Anderson pretzel until I saw this mini bag of Popcorn Style Pretzel Balls at my brother's place. They've been around since 1888 and started in Pennsylvania so they must know something about pretzels.

I grabbed this .9-ounce bag from my brother's place. I think they're supposed to be for my nephew to snack on. He's only two so I'm sure he won't notice a bag missing...
