Burger King Japan recently introduced a special where customers can add 15 strips of bacon to a burger for only 110 Yen ($1.24). One man took advantage of this artery-clogging promotion by adding a staggering 1,050 strips of bacon-y goodness to a Whopper. He has it his way and, before long, his stomach makes him regret it.
