Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft reports on the new all black burger at Burger King Japan, a sandwich with black buns, black sauce, and black cheese darker than a black hole (seriously, the cheese is extremely black.) It looks kind of gross—but I really want to try it. How is this black cheese so dark, you ask?

It isn't plastic—although it looks like it.

This is not “date” food.

Did BP buy BK?

The wife makes excellent deviled eggs, though not nearly as often as I’d like. So they tasted great, but turning the egg whites black did not look good.

I’m not crazy about black pasta, either. My husband makes deviled eggs every so often. They’re delicious. He usually adds some mustard and deviled ham. I particularly like them with a dollop of caviar on top.

Looks nasty. Can’t get over that black bun.

WHY??????

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

OK, so the gay Whopper did so well, now this?

My teacher made my class some when I was in Kindergarten. It was pretty good, seeing as how you just add some food coloring to achieve the green color. I do not know, nor am I sure that I want to, what this thing has in it.

You can do a lot with squid ink.

One customer asked "What flavor is that? death?"

I made green eggs and ham for my kids one Sunday when they were little. They liked the book but the actual green eggs got a less than enthusiastic reception.

Looks like it came out of an oil slick. Yuk.

[RJS1950]

Well, cover your eyes and eat one, I’m guessing the taste is just as good. Or, give samples to a group of blind people and see what the reviews are.

You’re right, the eye-brain connection will put some off on this burger.

There's just one unfortunate side effect (besides the intense gastrointestinal distress)...

Made from Genuine All Petroleum products and by-products.

This is in Japan, right? Perhaps it’s a Fukushima burger.

Nogger please! I mean, I would like some of that nogger ice cream please!

Don’t like the black bun? you’ve never had pumpernickel?

Pumpernickel isn’t black. It’s dark brown.

Oh yes, the Old Aunt Jemima Burger! Delicious.
