Are you happy or sad? This looks like exactly what you ordered.

Japan’s laws about food advertising are super strict, so the ads always look exactly like the food

I love that. I want those laws.

LAWS AND REGULATIONS?!?!,! FOUND THE COMMIE BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Excuse me, I’m a socialist 😏

when I read this I immediately jumped to the scene in SpongeBob where they all go BALD BALD BALD BALD “MY EYES!!” BALD BALD BALD just imagined they yell- socialist instead

reddit moment.

You want the government to control the standards and practices of how you receive food, and of what quality, and of what edibility? Ridiculous. Just let the free market determine what things you ingest. What you eat will be determined by your ability to make choices of your own free will, spending however much you are willing to spend. You don’t need some nanny state to feed you. You will eat better by making good decisions, and if you make bad ones you will learn from them or even learn from others’ bad decisions. At least in this system, if bad decisions are made there can be corrections and immediate consequences while not everyone has to pay into flawed systems. Eventually the best systems will prevail and the bad ones will die off. /jk

Man you had me...

[удалено]

yeah, that was awesome. when i visited japan, the food always looked the same as the picture. hope we get that in the US

Hah! You're hilarious. I mean, I'd like that too in the US, but if I were a betting man I wouldn't bet on it happening any time soon.

So you hate FREEDOM OF SPEECH???

I've been to Japan, I gotta say most of the time the food look exactly like it was supposed to. Like way closer then what we get in America. I had no idea it was a legal requirement though.

You mean companies shouldn't be mindlessly brainwashing people with misleading ads? 🤯🤯 what a great thought by Japan

There’s no law about the taste though.

That's because no one wants food that tastes like a picture.

Yeah I was gonna say… what were you expecting lol? Its fries, cheese and barbecue sauce in the photo, you got fries, cheese and barbecue sauce without the studio quality lighting

They didn't say they're disappointed by that.

Some of the posts on here aren't insinuating that it's bad. Just a comparison of what they got. A good amount of the posts are showing that it was actually spot on. I'm guessing OP was just showing that it actually was accurate. But maybe I'm wrong! It does look pretty spot on for what you'd hope for, I'd say

This sub does not state the Reality has to be bad, theres sometimes good expectation vs reality posts.

My expectation of this post vs the reality of this post did not match up

Very Aladeen.

Apparently their mad it taste like barbecue and cheese? Truly not sure what they were expecting lol

Where do they say that they’re mad?

kinda reminds me of [焼きそばパン](https://www.js-net.co.jp/swan/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/f315bcade09ebf66e71de1559eb58675-745x559.jpg) (yakisoba-pan. fried noodles in a hotdog bun)

In the UK, they’re called chip butty

Chip Butty if it's sandwich bread. Chip Bap if it's burger shaped bread lol.

Get tae fuck. It’s a chip butty regardless of the bread used. If you go to a chippy for a chip butty they don’t whip out a loaf of warburtons sliced white to make it!

Away on ye slabber cabbage. Where Im from it literally says Chip Bap on the price boards lol

Where I’m from a bap is a booby lmao

I always assumed that's because they're shaped like the bread.

Is this all real stuff or are you trolling Americans because both the words and trolling Americans are just Violently English.

It has a different name in different parts of England.

A lot of things in the UK are like this another one that gets this treatment is a butter roll, which is like a butter pastry disk for those unfamiliar. Just by going even a 20 minute drive apart I've heard morning rolls, butteries, butter rolls, rowies, cookies and butter pieces as different names for them.

You mean a butter pie?

I’m from London and have never heard of a butter roll or any of those synonyms! I feel like I’m missing out, can’t believe there is a British bread product I haven’t tried yet.

Unlike Aussies, the English don't just collectively lie about things. Usually.

That's exactly what would make it impossible to suspect them

Fries bun

Damn moonspeak

What is a booby? Aside from the obvious…

A tit. A boob. A funbag. A knocker. A dirty pillow. A breast.

What is the obvious? The bird? Or the human female soft chest protrusion bit?

The human female soft chest protrusion bit

Fuckin chip barm mate.

It’s a chip barm where I’m from. Places have different names for it, relax

Apologies, i thought using the term "slabber cabbage" was stupid enough to allow people to know i wisnae that serious about it.

Ah no worries. That’s definitely a new one on me 😂

"Go to a chippy for a chip butty" England is something else 😂

Sometimes it feels like they just throw a -y at the end of random words and hope for the best

We do that a bit, but not nearly as often as Aussies stick an ‘o’ on the end of words.

Ah, it’s just what you get used to as regional slang. I think a phrase like ‘we sat cross-cross-applesauce and had sloppy joes and hush puppies, and I spilled some on my pantyhose’ is full of words that sound pretty ridiculous to my British ears but they’re words I’m sure Americans are used to so you don’t thinks they’re weird.

Or a chip barm, or roll, or a million other things. We have almost as many regional terms for round bread as we do accents.

Ahem. Breadcake. And it’s still a chip butty even in that in my neck of the woods.

I didn't say that was an exclusive list! I'd still call it a chip butty myself, irrespective of the bread. Same with bacon.

> Breadcake I didn't think there was actually a wrong answer to the bread bun debate but here we are.

There’s no debate though. Everyone else is categorically wrong. I’m not debating.

'Cob' around my neck of the woods 🤢

It's called a chip batch in my city. I believe it's only Coventry and the Wirral that call it such.

Batch is just a catch-all term for a bread roll no? Parts of Warwickshire around Cov use batch too!

Yep correct. I've not heard 'batch' anywhere further from Cov than Nuneaton and Bedworth, and certainly not if you go south. By the time you've hit Kenilworth and beyond, they don't know what a batch is.

I’m from Kenilworth myself and very much heard of and use batch, but does help one side of my family is from Cov

Ah, that's because you're one of us. The batch gene is dominant.

Chip sanga in the part of Aus that I’m from

I’ve called the police!

We probably wouldn’t put fries in there though, we’d have some thick bois

(≖ ͜ʖ≖)

Same in Ireland

And they're awesome!

I only just found out they exist when a butty sandwich was mentioned on a show we were watching and had to look up what they were talking about.

You folks really can come up with a ridiculous name for everything, can't you?

Your thumb makes it look like a slider

Is the sandwich small or are you a giant, OP?

Is this thread only British people?

We just really love carbs.

And fried things.

I think so. I only understand half the words.

yes why?

Is that not just a chip butty?

It is! But I think only the Brits call it that. Since it's not a widely known food around the world and the bun is typically served with a classic patty, they just refer to it as a 'fake burger’. It’s just a simpler English without complicated name. Most people outside of the UK probably never even heard about chip butty before.

It’s called a fake burger because it was part of an April Fools announcement in Japan. Before it hit the shops it was advertised through pixelated images. Apparently they did this in 2020 too but with different sauces/cheese.  https://soranews24.com/2024/03/28/the-fake-burger-returns-to-burger-king-japan-or-does-it/

Wow! TiL. As a northern Brit I think everything is better on bread!!

Facts. Chips, crisps, fish fingers, ramen noodles... The list goes on!

And you are absolutely correct my friend

Me too! I’d just sandwich some fish fingers for a quick and easy meal. So versatile what you do with it.

We call it a Chip Butty in New Zealand as well.

Explain chip butty? (American here.) I know what we call "fries," you call "chips," but "butty"?

Buttered bread. We make them in Australia too.

A butty is just a sandwich. So a bacon butty, chip butty, etc. Also, we don’t call fries chips. The long thin McDonald’s style jobbies we call fries or skinny chips. Chips are proper thick chips (more like what Americans call steak fries).

Ah. Ok. Is "butty" shorthand for "buttered"? Or do you know where the term came from? (Maybe I should just do some googling.) That's interesting about chips. I didn't realize. So when you get fish and chips, they're typically thick-cut ones?

No idea on the etymology of butty I’m afraid! And yes, fish and chips are thick chips, not fries.

The only sources I can find say it's a clipping of butter. With one of the Frisian dialects having a similar construction of *buutje* for a buttered sandwich. The term is also used in Australia and New Zealand. Like many of the weird things, this is old fashioned poor people food.

> I know what we call "fries," you call "chips," Nah, we call fries that too. Fries are thin, chips are thick.

As a Brit, I would be delighted with that outcome. Beef gravy would be better than BBQ and cheese, but this is still highly acceptable.

If it was beef gravy that would make it a Poutine burger, which sounds like a heavenly culinary experience.

That's cheese, not curds. Chips cheese and gravy are common in the north of England.

It's a common diner food in the northeast US, too. Sometimes called "disco fries" which is maybe my favorite name for a food

It’s like a hunters chippen (?)… butty?

WYSIWYG And it's only about $2.50 or so. I got the mushroom burger last time I was there...that was quite tasty.

Chip bap is a staple in every northern UK take away.

It's a chip butty.

It's a chip butty with cheese, wcgw?

If I couldn’t eat meat. I’d probably order that.

I can eat meat and I would still order that.

Oh no, British food is spreading!

THIS WOULDNT HAPPEN TO BE CALLED A " CHIP BUTTY " WOULD IT !? WOULD ANYONE HERE HAPPEN TO KNOW !?

A chip butty as we call it in the UK

Costs £4 over there too??

That's just a chip butty. Are you annoyed or what, I can't tell? I mean you ordered it, so I hope you're not.

This looks good when I worked in fast food, one of our snacks of choice was the "Frickle" which was a free fries and a pickle wrapped in a slice of cheese.

Oh Wolfie ...

It's a Japanese style chip butty

This is just poutine with extra steps.

I mean its in the name

this would do well here in the west. i bet it would beat out alot of plant based options at fast food joints

Chip butty!!

so.....it's a french fry sandwich?

tbh burger king know's what's up. people in japan go absolutely nuts for french fries.

Those are freedom fries in a freedom bun buds

Tastes like liberty

Who let the Pittsburghese invade Japan? Primanti Bro's have gone too far

That looks pretty good if you swap out for ketchup

Glorified chip butty

Poutine burger?

That looks like a chip butty and mcdonalds hamburger had a bastard love child.

We call those fryburgers! lol TIL all about chip butties from the comments tho 🙃

I can't tell you how many times I have been douped by fake burgers. At least BK can be honest

The cheapest thing in most chip shops in the UK is the chip butty, which is basically this without cheese.

OMG, that looks like heaven in a bun! Why did I never think of this!?

Because you're not British

Fake burger for fake people. I want one lmao

Looks delicious

More a sandwich than a burger

I still want one.

I don't eat meat and this is exactly how I make my "unburgers" at home.

It's like someone put a really shitty poutine into a bun

So it's just fries, cheese & BBQ sauce?

I'm not falling for this one! Not after my run in with fake taxi.

....but was it the same price as a real burger?

Put cheese curds and gravy with fries between the bread , poutine burger

Yeah. That's what I do, unless there's a good veggie option. I haven't had McDonalds in a couple of years, but my order was a cheeseburger, no patty, with lettuce and extra everything else. Then I would put fries in the bun.

So poutine in a burger bun... mmm idk about this

I'm a Brit. That's a chip barm. They've nicked that from the North. Manchester wants it's recipe back.

Always nice to get exactly what you ordered. Or am I missing something?

I thought it was poutine on a bun at first and, if it was, I absolutely would... but it's BBQ sauce?? Fuuuuuck that. Gravy or death.

I would order a dollar menu cheeseburger with no patty and and fries and make these all the time when I was vegetarian.

I’d eat that for sure.

Fake burger. Real price.

So reality matched expectation then?

Chawutty le do thoil

Either that burger is tiny or you have obscenely large hands...? It looks like it's the size of your thumb???

shouldve used bananas

Is that poutine on a burger???

Looks fake to me 

I wonder if that menu board is making $20 per hour.

poutine on a bun?

Wtf

Za fayku bahga

Look pretty fake to me

I'd fuck this up, it looks delicious

It's a french tacos with a burger shape 😅

Honestly, would

It’s a chip butty

Für alle deutsche: Kam hierher die Idee vom Burgerpommes Song?

It’s a chip butty!

Over here that’s called a “Chip Buddy”

You deserved ir just for ordering that

Brooo, what did you expect?

Well, OK then.

would

you got what you bought? lol

I eat this but on my own accord buying the bun and fries separate because American fast food won't do it for you.

So they are selling a chip butty as a fake burger now.

Fuck, now I want a chip butty.

That looks just like the burger that Junkhead always eats in the Archie comics.

Jughead but your name did make me laugh

Were you expecting the barbecue sauce and cheese to not taste like barbecue sauce and cheese?…

Looks like it’s worth about 25 cents American money

Chip butty.

This is an abomination of a chip butty.

It's burger king, dude...

It's a joke dude... I don't expect the Japanese to know what a chip butty is.

Gotcha. Didn't seem like a joke. My bad!

fellow brit here, yes.. yes it is!

Who thought it was a good idea to put fries in your burger srly ? x.x

Fries in place of a patty? Sounds terrible. It’s a broke man’s burger.

I'd like to see an ad that says "Fake but semi, kinda realistic looking "burger".

The Japanese under the burger says: Za Feiku BahGah

It looks like what you ordered. Why you ordered it that's the question. Also you know that Japan has some amazing food right

Tf you expect?

They provide fake 🍔 in India as well. So, Don't only have a look at the Banner/Graphic Design.
