Seeing Through Windows

Ouch! Brave souls down Windows 7 Whoppers; live to tell the tale

The Windows 7 Whopper from Burger King weighs in with seven full patties, but that hasn't stopped people wordlwide from attempting to eat the gut-busting heart-killer. Below you can find videos that show them eating them in what appears to be attempts at suicide-by-burger.

As I blogged last week, Microsoft and Burger King have teamed in a promotion for the Windows 7 Whopper in Japan --- seven patties stacked atop one another in a single sandwich. I reported that it has 1,000 calories, but others have since said it's more than 2,000 calories. Either way, it's more meat than you'll eat in a week.

The Windows 7 Whopper has since been seen in the wild in other places as well, including the United States. And plenty of people are willing to risk death-by-burger to get their three minutes of fame by posting videos of themselves eating the behemoth. Check out videos below to see for yourself.

First, check out an American guy named CheapyD and his friend CampingKevin in Japan trying to wolf two down. Food porn alert: Closeups of ketchup oozing on top of massive amounts of meat are included.


Meanwhile, a guy named Joey here stateside in the U.S. takes on one as well. Beware: Joey has a big, thick beard, and eating nearly two pounds of greasy beef doesn't make it it any prettier.


Why should guys have all the fun? CNN's petite journalist in Japan Kyung Lah does the deed. We only see her take the first few bites and the last one, so we'll have to trust that she's actually eaten the whole thing.


Finally, two guys with English accents in a car eat Windows 7 Whoppers simultaneously --- thankfully, not while driving. One bloke use a napkin as a bib. Still, if I were him, I'd go right to a car wash --- and sit on the hood of his car as he goes through.
