Big Hit McDonald's Texas Burger

McDonald's Japan introduced "Texas Burger" as a part of "Big America" promotion on January 15.



Texas Burger
420 yen  (640 kcal)



It made a big debut!
It has been reported that 4,130,000 Texas Burgers were sold in the first four days.  McDonald's Japan increased double the number of Texas burgers, and set the number of sales in each outlet.  (Around 250 Texas burgers for each store?  The numbers are vary in each store.)




It's a bit smaller than I thought, but tasty and succulent!


Texas Burger is seasoned with double source, Spicy BBQ source and whole-grain mustard relish, on the quarter pound beef.  It is garnsihed with fried onion, cheese and bacon.


Since Texas Burger was sold unexpectedly well, McDonald's Japan had to set quantity adjustment to control the promotion period.  The Texas Burger will continue to be sold until January 31.

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year!
Best wishes for everyone!

I found this interesting McDonald Japan ad.  The text says "Ahaann."  We say this when asking someone to open his or her mouth.






Buy one large fries, and you have chance to get one of the 100 yen menu; hamburger, shaka-shaka chicken, small size of coca-cola.  This promotion starts from New Year day until supply is last.
