So those huge rabbits were in the news the other day but is seems the delightful new kyodai-burger that you can get at McDonalds with a mouthwatering 4 pieces of, er, "meat" (100% no less) is in the news.
Anyone tried one?

From Gaishoku Nippo 18th Jan
Japan McDonald’s launched ‘Mega Mac on 12th and sold 3.32 million units of this particular product in four days. This is nearly double their expected sales.
(rough calculations = about 150 TONNES of 'beef' that have been sold in this burger alone - in only 4 days..)

3.32 million in 4 days! Sounds a lot to me.  What a fabulous name as well.

Mos burger just opened last week in Hong Kong and there were some long lines for that. I doubt those long lines will last though.

yep, tried it and not much to rave about, other than being hard to get your mouth around. I'd take MOS any day over Maccas. They have actually had to limit sales of the megamac each day because of the high demand.

Spicy Mos cheese is good.
I don't need to eat a Mega Mac to know exactly what it is like. That's because the ads tell me:
Big Makku no ano oishisa sara ni POWER UPP!!!!!
4 BEEF PATTIES!!!!
Tengoku no hamburger desu!
NOW you know!

Is that how the advertise it gg?  Tengoku no hamburger. Right. The best hamburget I have ever had was in a place in Blackpool. It was awesome. Good thick meat, well done, salad, hot sauces. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back to Blackpool, and that's saying something.
