Today in weird things people are doing to food, a crime worse than dipping fries in milkshakes: topping a drink with a burger and sticking a straw through it.

Hamburger straws are a hot new trend in Japan.

Basically, you buy a McDonald’s meal, take your burger out of its box, and put it on top of your drink, letting the straw penetrate its meat and buns.

Why? We genuinely have no clue. After the first few sips, the horrifying taste of Coke infused burger will pass and you’ll just be drinking a regular soft drink.


It’s probably best not to question it.



Hamburger straws are a thing, that thing is a trend, it’s happening, and we may as well just accept it.

We guess it does look kind of cool.

And when the lids of the cups and the hamburger are the same size, it’s quite satisfying

But does this mean you have to drink the entirety of your drink before you can eat your burger?

Because if so, we don’t think the Instagram credit is worth it

No likes are worth the dismay of a cold burger and nothing with which to wash it down
