Burger King Teases the Return of 'Fake Burger' in Japan

Burger King Japan Holdings Co., Ltd. teased the return of its “Fake Burger” sandwich menu by posting a pixelated image of a burger. This food item has been absent in BK stores for four years now, so the poster excites the fans.

Why Customers Feel Skeptical

Some customers doubt whether Burger King is rereleasing its Fake Burger or is just another April Fools’ Day stunt. Many fans are reportedly questioning the validity of BK’s latest posting about the popular burger option.

But then again, SoraNews24 reported that many customers recalled that in October 2020, Burger King released a similar pixelated image and launched the product later. At that time, with excitement building up over the anticipation of the burger, BK unveiled the new item by revealing the entire picture of a sandwich stuffed with french fries.

It has been four years since then, and Burger King appears to be bringing back the Fake Burger. The ingredients are still a mystery since the promo image shows a blurred burger. With all the details presented, it is highly likely that the Fake Burger is coming and is not a prank or practical joke for the annual April Fools’ Day.

Release Date and Other Details

Meanwhile, in its press release, Burger King asked if it was confirmed that the Fake Burger was returning. The home of Whopper Burgers further mentioned that customers will get the answer on April 1. The company said it would launch the sandwich at 10:30 a.m. that day.

Burger King said that Fake Burgers would only be available in select stores around Japan. Customers may also buy them a la carte only, as meal sets are unavailable for this returning food item. Moreover, it is not available for delivery orders.
