The whiff of a “Whopper “made hundreds of customers hungry for a Burger King special Wednesday — “Flame Grilled” cologne.
Bottles of the fragrance were sold at the fast-food chain’s stores in Japan for 5,000 yen (about $40), including one Whopper burger.
At a downtown Tokyo outlet, 17-year-old student Yuki Ishibashi bought one out of curiosity. He learned late last month about the cologne and “I really wanted to try it,” Ishibashi said. He took a whiff of the spray and described the scent as “spicy.”
Nanako Katabami bought one as an unusual gift, and quoted her friend as saying it smelled like a Burger King store.
Burger King said the cologne sold out at about half of its 90 Japanese outlets by evening.
The promotion, available only in Japan, was timed deliberately for April Fools’ Day.

Bizarre, sad, and true: A Pennsylvania man visiting his mother-in-law’s grave site was killed when her headstone toppled on him, reports WNEP. Stephen Woytack, 74, of Scranton, was decorating the headstone with his wife for Easter yesterday when the thawing spring ground apparently caused the base to shift.AND, as an added bit of irony: Woytack’s burial plot will be right in front of the headstone that killed him.

This stunt may have been done before, but not like this.
A Florida father is making headlines for his unorthodox method of dentistry.
The father, identified by Sky News as Robert Abercrombie, uses his Camaro sports car to pull his son’s tooth.
It seems simple enough, the boy is seen with a string tied around his tooth. The string is attached to the back of the car.
Dad hops in, revs the engine and takes off, yanking his son’s tooth out.
What could possibly go wrong?
