Shaved Ice Burgers

Burger King Japan's Ice Whopper Comes in Response to Rising Temperatures

— August 15, 2022 — Lifestyle
With temperatures are rising in the summer and people are looking for ways to stay cool, Burger King Japan created the Ice Whopper. This version of the classic burger with a twist features the same flame-grilled patty that people know and love, plus a layer of shaved ice in between other regular toppings.

This cooling burger is being offered as part of a limited-edition Summer Love Set, which also includes an Ice Bottle in the form of a frozen bottle of Coca-Cola. The exclusive Ice Whopper will only be available for a limited time at a pop-up stall at a beach in Kanagawa Prefecture. Beach-goers will need a reservation to secure their cooling burger or combo, which promises to offer plenty of refreshment in the heat.

3. Pop-up Food Stalls - Brands can explore the idea of setting up temporary food stalls in popular beach or outdoor locations to create buzz and attract new customers during peak times.
Industry Implications
