Japanese fast food fans have a shot at owning what is sure to be one of the rarest scents in the world: Burger King perfume. The American burger giant is set to release a custom scent on April 1st, 2015, a day known in Japan as 'Whopper Day.' April 1st is also April Fools' Day, but Burger King is said to be serious about its latest stunt.
The perfume is called 'Flame-Grilled' and will likely make you smell like a burger. It is priced at 5,000 yen, or about $41 USD, and a Whopper is included with purchase. Whether or not the Burger King perfume is real or an elaborate marketing stunt, the company has succeeded in capturing the Internet's attention. While the idea may sound far-fetched, Burger King did launch a body spray back in 2008 so anything is possible.
