Pop Japan

Japan is known for creating bizarre and unique items: from clothing, to gadgets, and even to food. A few years back, Burger King, a giant fast food company known worldwide, has released controversial burger in Japan. The first batch of black burgers released are said to have buns dyed with squid ink, hence the black color. They also used bamboo cheese, which, apparently, has the same color. The other ingredients are the same as the normal burger.

The second batch of black burgers released are said to have buns marinated in A1 steak sauce, making it the same color as the night.
