I ate ``The Fake Burger'' which sandwiched French fries without Burger King's proud patty.

April 1st is April Fool's Day, so

there is a lot of untrue information floating around . In the food industry, there are announcements about the release of new products that at first glance seem impossible, and announcements about collaborations that seem like they could happen . It's true that we released ``BURGER (The Fake Burger) ''. I went to try it because it was a product that had been revived for the first time in four years.

It has evolved for the first time in 4 years and is back! Burger King releases “THE FAKE BURGER”! The exquisite taste of steamy French fries, Gouda cheese and BBQ sauce!

Arrived at Burger King.

There was a panel of ``The Fake Burger'' at the store.

So I bought it. 'The Fake Burger' is not available as a set and is only sold individually, so drinks were ordered separately. The drinks are S size. You can see that the burger is smaller compared to other Whoppers.

'The Fake Burger' taken out of the package. French fries are protruding from between the buns.

When you lift the top bun, it looks like this, French fries are sandwiched between Gouda sliced cheese, so they stick together.

Cross-sectional view.

When you eat it, there is no patty, so the texture is ``Moss, Mossa...'' and it feels like the moisture in your mouth is being sucked. However, the bullseye BBQ sauce, which has a slightly sour taste, goes perfectly with the potatoes. I usually just want my French fries with Bullseye BBQ sauce. Since it's a Jr.-sized bun, one hamburger won't make you full right away, but since it's a combination of bread and potatoes, you'll feel full after eating it for a while.

'The Fake Burger' is sold separately for 390 yen including tax.
