Default Burger King launches £95 'bling burger'

The world's most expensive burger - flame grilled Wagyu Beef, topped with white truffles in an Iranian saffron and truffle bun - is to go on sale at a fast food restaurant.

Burger King's £95 sandwich, named simply The Burger, will make Guinness World Record history beating a similarly extravagant American Double Truffle Burger which cost just £65 in 1994.
The world's most succulent Japanese beef is complemented with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto
Restaurant critics have dismissed the burger as just the latest stunt in a marketing craze which has seen Selfridges charge £85 for a sandwich and Peter Jones, the Sloane Square department store, ask £50 for a cup of coffee pre-digested by a Civet cat.

Some people have more money than sense. What type of pretentious idiot would you have to be to go for that! £95 for a f*cking burger indeed!

I would if I was anywhere in London, just to say I had one, most of my mates think I'm nuts for spending £25 on a glass of whiskey but some things are just worth it

The burger one is understandable, but a bit pricey. What I want to know though is, who's drinking the cat shit coffee?!

It is a lot on the face of it however:

1) You often get what you pay for
2) If you can afford to, why not?
3) Every now and then in life you gotta treat yourself
