I have a new Japanese hero

No, not Yu Darvish. It is this guy. Burger King is running a "have it your way" promotion in Japan, and part of it is that you can add 15 pieces of bacon for around $1.25. This guy asks for 1050 pieces, and they comply.

That is so stoopid to me. You can't eat 1050 pieces of bacon.

The color of that bacon isn't at all appetizing.

That pic reminds me of the good ol' days when I could hit up a Shoney's breakfast bar.

Bacon is 15-20 slices per pound right? Even at 40 slices per pound that would be more than 25 pounds of bacon. I guess that is precooked - so maybe cooked we're looking at 4-6 pounds of bacon? That might be too much of a good thing.

I would figure Bacon is extremely expensive on Japan too. The economy on this offer makes no sense.

This is only awesome to anybody who hasn't had Burger King bacon. That shit is like shoe flavored fruit leather.

It looks weird because in Japan, bacon is made out of octopus.
