First, there was an all-black burger. Black begat red. Now, KFC China is here to raise the bar on ill-advised burger buns with a pink chicken sandwich.
The Rose Cheese Roasted Chicken Burger was recently introduced, along with another ubiquitous black burger, and is here to seriously mess with your rods and cones. Hopefully the chicken doesn’t turn out pink too.

Although we cannot confirm that the burger pictured here is made with unicorn meat, since unicorns probably don’t exist, here’s the Unicorn Burger Bun.
Brought to us by Lou Lou P’s Delights, the majestic bun is adorably handcrafted and baked to hold any burger… regardless of the type of ground-up animal.

Burger King Japan, already responsible for an all-black cheeseburger, is back with a further assault on our rods and cones.
The Aka Burger is their latest release of a food item that just ain’t right. Available as a burger or chicken sandwich, the Aka sports an all-red bun and red cheese.
The color is made possible by tomato powder and includes ‘Angry Sauce’ — a spicy Sichuan fermented bean paste, also red. The red burgers will be available from July 3rd until mid-August. Anyone who gets their hands on one… please send photos.

Do not be concerned by its title… The Human Centipede Burger, by Iowa-based eatery Zombie Burger, doesn’t contain centipedes or humans. No… The inspiration for this burger is far worse.
The concept is actually taken from the horror film, The Human Centipede. And, if you’re not familiar with this movie, we suggest not Googling it before lunch.
The burger, however, may actually induce hunger, with three separate chambers of awesomeness…
Enjoy lunch. Unless you’ve already looked up or have actually seen The Human Centipede. In either case, I am sorry.
At first glance, the above photo appears to be nothing more than a typical office drone dressing up for his company’s mandatory Halloween party. The truth however, is much different… and much much more sad.
The masked half-shaven gentlemen is actually McDonald’s new Hamburglar… you read that correctly. Gone is the chubby, single-toothed burger thief of our youth. He’s been replaced with a square-jawed, trench-coated metrosexual, who looks as though he only eats burgers that are grass-fed organic.
The introduction of the new mascot comes as McDonald’s sales plummet nationwide. And, we all know what happens when McDonald’s introduces a new mascot to peddle its foodstuffs… it winds up scaring the shit out of everyone.
