Burger King launches £95 'bling burger'

The world's most expensive burger - flame grilled Wagyu Beef, topped with white truffles in an Iranian saffron and truffle bun - is to go on sale at a fast food restaurant.
Burger King's £95 sandwich, named simply The Burger, will make Guinness World Record history beating a similarly extravagant American Double Truffle Burger which cost just £65 in 1994.

The world's most succulent Japanese beef is complemented with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto

Restaurant critics have dismissed the burger as just the latest stunt in a marketing craze which has seen Selfridges charge £85 for a sandwich and Peter Jones, the Sloane Square department store, ask £50 for a cup of coffee pre-digested by a Civet cat.

@BigBananaMan I did some research and a lot of the proceeds went to charity.

Imagine eating this in burger king while everyone else is bringing their loud kids and eating fast food burgers.

Burger King? They stamp out meat analog patties focusing purely on quantity, ignoring quality for a reason. This would be serving the nearly insignificantly small segment of the market that does not want anything to do with this fat people slop hut anyway. Why would they waste their money developing this and then not at least advertise it? How is somebody trying to provide themselves 4000kcals per day on minimum wage even supposed to be interested?

I have to raise the Fake flag on this one.
