Burger King BiKing All-You-Can-Eat

Burger King has another interesting promotion, all-you-can-eat, called BiKing. The name is cute because it is a play on words. All-you-can-eat or smorgasbord is called Viking or "baikingu" in Japanese and sounds quite a bit like BiKing.

The promotion runs until the end of the month and works like this, you order a large side of one of the featured sets. Eat it all and you can have more within a 30 minute time span. Pretty restrictive, considering you have to resent an empty tray, cup and the receipt to receive more.

I suppose young people might consider it a challenge, but eating as much as you possibly can of this type food as possible in a short amount of time cannot be a good idea. Interesting, but I like the previous promotions much better. The black burger looked pretty cool and was actually pretty good.

With the purchase of a large set, McDonald's offering a set of 6 food magnets for 1,500 yen. A little more pricey than I would have expected, but cute. The promotion begins on November 23rd.

Meiji Herb and Salt CrackerChips

Meiji is offering Herb and Salt flavored CrackerChips which use olive oil and therefore are said to be relatively healthy. These are designed to go well with Meiji cheeses such as Meiji Camembert cheese. 明治 クラッカーチップス ハーブ&ソルト味

Kyushu Amaou Strawberry KitKat

Hikata amaou strawberries, which are grown to large sizes and are very sweet, are a famous Kyushu product. Many people bring them home from a trip there to give as gifts to friends. This product creates a delicate balance between amaou strawberry flavor and white chocolate, and is only sold in the Kyushu area. ネスレ キットカット あまおう苺
