TORONTO – Burger King in Japan introduced its new colour-crazed burgers this week, which got us thinking about other strange fast food creations.
Next month, customers will be able to order Aka Samurai sandwiches available in chicken and beef options, for a limited time.
The sandwiches feature bright red buns, red cheese and red “angry” sauce. Or customers can try the black Kuro Shogun option which features a black bun, black cheese, fried eggplant and ketchup made from squid ink.

Here’s a look at some other odd fast food creations that, at one time, appeared on a menu.
McDonald’s Canada – The McLobster
It’s the McDonald’s take on a lobster roll. The McLobster has been available in Atlantic Canada for more than a decade and now, for a limited time offer, the fast food chain has rolled out the dish across the country.
Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Bites Pizza
Americans can have pizza and Pigs in a Blanket too!
Taco Bell’s Waffle Taco
The taco featured a waffle wrapped around a sausage patty or bacon, with scrambled eggs and cheese, served with a side of syrup. It was later replaced by Biscuit Taco.

No bun, all meat.

The black food craze continues in Japan.
McDonald’s U.K. – Bacon Roll
British bacon on a bun…with ketchup or perhaps some brown sauce.
