Bow down to the Spicy Yakuyoke Whopper, which translates to Spicy Apotropaic Whopper.
The Japanese word “yakuyoke“, or “apotropaic” in English, means to “ward off evil” or “protect against misfortune“. Yakuyoke is particularly important at the end of the year in Japan, where temples offer Yakuyoke services for those wanting to yoke (ward off) the yaku (bad luck) they’ve accumulated over the year so they can start the new one afresh. And let’s face it, that sounds like something we could all do with after everything we’ve been through in 2020.
Burger King’s Yakuyoke Whopper therefore acts as an edible amulet of sorts, and driving this sentiment home is a new commercial, showing Burger King staff attending a Yakuyoke service at a temple, where a monk chants by a fire filled with wooden prayer boards to imbue the burger with its protective powers.

Straight from the McWhopper slop joint news desk!
“super spicy garlic flakes”
I want one. You will be more than 6 feet back after I consume one!
Well, if it works, I want one!
If it wards off Dems and tastes good.
Does it cure bad breath?
Anyone that puts mayo on a burger should be shot. And bk truly sux.
Get some lucky fries with it!
How come Japan gets this and all we get is a lousy mcRib?
As a young guy i used to love the Bacon Double Cheese burger meal with a sidetheir old chicken tenders.
been a LONG while but i hit BK a few months ago.
That was then when i realized their “Flame broiled taste” was nothing more then a chemical additive like Liquid Smoke.
F BK the fries sucked, the burger was inedible and their original tenders?
forget about it now...
Haven’t had BK in a while, but the whopper blows any burger McDonald makes off the map.
I am not sure who is creepier, Ronald? or The King?
I am wondering if i should have the wafer thin mint after that meal...
You know where McDonald gets his meat? He buys chicken asses from The Colonel.
So when you bite into that burger and it goes FFfffraaaaappp...you know you got one of the colonels asses.
Putty in Nippon!! with Elaine the Nip!
Every. Week. For months.
It got to be that I got so sick of BK, the smell made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't even drive by one at lunch time when they were cooking. It's only been in the last couple years I could even consider eating there again.
Technically the Whopper should blow the big Mac away....at least in my book.
BUT BK quality control is apparently rock bottom.
Their beef tastes like chemically added sh!t.
Soggy limp fries.
Original Tenders turned into pre-fab dinosaur shaped muck nuggets...
forget it unless i am completely desperate..
