Burger King Japan's Black Burgers Look Unbelievably Gross In Real Life
Burger King recently launched two new hamburgers in Japan that feature black buns and cheese with matching squid ink black sauce.
Ads, like the one below, made the burgers look pretty unappetizing.

But the burgers, known as the Kuro Diamond and Kuro Pearl, look even worse in reality.
Here are some examples:
To achieve the black coloring, Burger King dyed the buns and cheese with bamboo charcoal and mixed the meat with black pepper.
The burgers, which hit Burger King's Japan locations on Sept. 19, are selling for approximately 690 yen ($6.40) and 480 yen ($4.50).
Reviews of the new menu items are mixed.
"If you can get past the shocking color, it's not bad," writes the Associated Press.
