Well, you will have to travel far and wide to find a person who doesn’t occasionally indulge in the odd rasher. Indeed, our very own Bee provided 
today’s photograph of her breakfast, which included the fried meat product known as bacon. Some fans of this dead pig product may jest that you can never have too much bacon. One fan told us “My children would each eat an entire pound. And my children are still small. The one I was thinking of in particular is only 40lb in total weight. It is, however one of his only accepted protein sources (Parmesan cheese and fried chicken being the only other two).”
One Japanese man has taken gluttony to the extreme, and challenged Burger King’s customer service to its limit. Burger King Japan is currently running a promotion in which you can add fifteen strips of bacon to your burger for a mere $1.20. Now, some of you may be thinking ‘I’m not sure if I could manage fifteen strips in one go, but I’d darn sure take it as a challenge.’ Well, to Mr. Sato, fifteen strips posed no challenge at all. Instead he demanded one hundred and five strips. Mr. Sato devoured the entire burger, and according to the report:
“While Mr. Sato managed to finish the burger, he didn’t seem to be in the best shape afterwards, falling into a meat-induced coma and then suddenly breaking out of it only to run out of the room with his hand covering his mouth.”
Despite this seemingly disagreeable conclusion to the bacon experience, Mr. Sato was not to be deterred. The next day he returned to the fast food restaurant, this time demanding a burger that contained one thousand and fifty (1050) strips of bacon. It reportedly took the staff at Burger King two hours to assemble the massive beast of a burger. It is unclear whether the staff were forced to slaughter a pig on the premises to meet the needs of this gargantuan order.
Mr. Sato was unable to complete the enormous burger, leaving it to other members of his office to devour. Putting aside for a moment the potential health risks of bacon consumption on such a massive scale (according to Andrew “8 strips thick-cut more than once per week for a length of time equal to or exceeding three consecutive months.”) just think of the sacrifice the pig made, not for someone to enjoy bacon responsibly, but to waste its dead flesh upon a comically large burger.
Pat told us:
“As a pig, I understand that I’m tasty – hell, when I accidentally bit my lip last weekend I felt I’d gone to culinary heaven, and it took a lot of restraint to not eat my entire mouth with a dash of pepper. So I appreciate that mankind likes to eat me. I just want them to appreciate the tasty sacrifice I’m making for them in transforming from living being to crispy fry up.
“If you need to eat me to live, I’m ok with that. If you need to eat me because you just adore my fine flavours, I’m actually ok with that too. But when I hear that my people are being turned into bacon and thrown away without even being touched, I am furious. What’s the point in that?
“I might as well stay alive and pursue my career as an Intellectual Property Lawyer. It’d be as useful to the human race.”
Below is a video of Mr Sato attempting to navigate the massive tower of bacon. Kimberly may want to rethink her comment that “There’s no such thing as “too much” when it comes to bacon” after seeing this, but then, she may not.
