Burger King Angry J Whopper‏

As described in the press release, the story behind this special is as follows - there is a well known spicy Jamaican dish called Jerk Chicken. BKJ used this as a basis to develop a summer special. They developed their own version of the sauce, called jerk sauce, and are using it on two sandwiches. The promotion is called Hot Jamaica and the two sandwiches are the Angry J Chicken and the Angry J Whopper. I assume the angry is related to the spiciness and the J stands for jerk and/or Jamaica.

Nippon Ham Ticket Giveaway

Nippon Ham is giving away tickets to see home games for the professional baseball team they own - The Nippon Ham Fighters. Great for those who live in Hokkaido or people who are planning on visiting. The Fighters moved from Tokyo to Sapporo a number of years ago, which I thought was great for Japanese baseball, but it makes promotions like attractive to a far more limited audience than before.

Entry is by mailing in proof of purchase on 500 yen or more of Nippon Ham products.
