Euhm no. Again no. As long as something else is available, I'd rather have the something else.

There are definite cultural differences in color meanings and associations between the U.S. and Japan. Here we associate black with death (unlike the Japanese, who associate white with death) and might think that black food is molded or spoiled (i.e., dead and inedible), or else associated with the flavor licorice.


 


The Japanese, on the other hand, are used to eating black seaweed, fermented black bean-paste-based foods, black walnut powder, squid ink, and a lot of gray, muted-colored foods, so a black burger bun and cheese would not seem too alien to them. In fact, they reserve subtle, soft grays, blacks, and muted hues for packaging for their own local Japanese-made foods, and associate bright, loud, primary colors (reds, yellows, oranges, blues) with foreign, Western food packages, whose people they consider to [be] brash and loud. So the black Kuro burger would be novel and attention-getting (since it’s made by a Western company), but not unappetizing. Also, young people (which is Burger King’s primary market in Japan) are a better market to introduce novel food colors to since they are not as set in their ways and like novelty and excitement.

not very impressed by finicky, personally.

it.

or not. but at least you're willing to try it.

 

That one looks delicious

Ingest the evil.

just cause the melted cheese looks

like a ghost doesn't make it evil. it looks eminently

eatable.
