Eau de Whopper

GeneralEdward Kiledjian

BurgerKing Japan will be releasing (on April 1) a special Whopper eau de toilette. It may be an April 1 prank so stay tuned. 

The current promise is that for that day (April 1), the purveyor of Whopper will sell the perfume for 5,000 Yen (about $US42) with a whopper. 

So I don't know if this is real, we'll just have to wait and see.

Buy what ? Where? hun?

You read right... Burger King is opening its first restaurant in India and is hoping eBay will help drive sales. You were able to pre-order a Mutton Whopper on eBay or 128 rupees ($US 2.08 - $CAD 2.38 - £ 1.31).

Pre-ordering one meant you got a voucher for a burger and a Whopper TShirt.

Grundhofer Old Fashioned Meats (link) in Minnesota is the creator of this meaty sugary monstrosity.

Ina  world where anything is possible and the affluent are looking for better ways to spend their money, Theodent has a solution: Chocolate flavoured toothpaste. Now you too can live your childhood dreams of brushing your teeth with chocolate flavoured toothpaste for the measly sum of $100 a tube.

Organic shoppers will love the fact the toothpaste contains no fluoride (uses theobromine, calcium and phosphate) and  helps strengthen tooth enamel, whiten and strengthen your teeth. 

The basic (classic) toothpaste costs $9.99 a tube but is conveniently out of stock. The next version is $99.99 (extra strength).

Time to upgrade your brushing to the next level.
