Over the years Burger King has added a lot of different toppings to their signature sandwich the Whopper. From items as mundane as bacon to more outside the box such as french fries and onion rings to the downright odd such as tortilla chips and in once case, chocolate, Burger King has never shied away from experimentation.

However, the new Whopper that has been introduced by particular Burger King in Japan might just take the cake for oddest idea yet. Because honestly, I’m not even sure how precisely it works.

According to our arch rivals at Chewboom the chain has taken the wraps off what they are calling the Ice Whopper. What exactly is an Ice Whopper I hear you asking? Is it a burger that is served cold? Not exactly.

The Ice Whopper is only available at a single Burger King in Japan.

The Ice Whopper is essentially a regular Whopper like the one you know and love but served with a layer of shaved ice on it and also comes with an ice cold Coke. Now, how that works I have no clue. I would assume that the shaved ice would melt before you even get to try the sandwich but maybe I’m wrong.

Apparently the Ice Whopper is only available at a single location in Japan and it has to be ordered ahead of time and picked up on a specific day. In addition, only a small number of Ice Whoppers are made each day so supplies are very limited.

Now, I don’t realistically see this version of the Whopper making its way to America, but stranger things have happened. So if you find yourself in Japan and you try one, please let us know how it is. Because we’re really curious.
