The Angry Whopper is arriving in Japan, a nation where the competition over hamburgers is as sizzling hot as the new spicy offering from U.S. fast-food chain Burger King.
To make sure people got the message, Burger King Corp. hosted an "angry shouting challenge" contest in downtown Tokyo Wednesday, in which passers-by were invited to scream their frustrations away.
"I need to get a girlfriend," a man yelled at the top of his lungs in an effort to win the prize, a year's worth of Whoppers. "Professor, give me my credits," exclaimed another.
The Angry Whopper, introduced in December in the U.S., has jalapeno chili peppers and hot sauce, as well as a burger patty, onions, cheese, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce on a sesame seed bun.
The 460 yen ($4.90) burger, whose sauce has been slightly adapted to Japanese tastes, will be added, starting Thursday, to the Japanese menu, which already includes the Double Whopper, Croissan'wich and Onion Rings.
