Want To “Feel Lucky?”
Well of course we all do! And what better way to ensure good luck for 2025 than making and eating good luck food – like these “Top One Pounders!
As always, the terrific news site “SoraNews24.com” has the latest “good luck food” from Japan – thanks to a hamburger chain! As they report:
“Burger King Japan has been filling a gap in the fast food market for big burgers with “The One Pounder” series, which packs four beef patties inside a sesame seed-topped bun. In this year alone, the chain has released four varieties that customers have gone wild for, with the Great King Yeti in February, Ugly in April, Big Barbeque in July and Ninniku Garlic in October.”
While those all look tantalizing, their latest addition is the one you must eat for good luck:
Behold The “Top One Pounder!”
This latest release promises health, happiness and good fortune for those who eat it – well, maybe not “promise” so much as “wants”! SoraNews24 has the details:
“A toasted sesame seed bun, followed by fresh tomato and onion, special spicy sauce, a five-cheese sauce, pickles, and four flame-grilled beef patties. This combination of ingredients results in a burger that contains a lot of red and white colours, which are commonly seen in Japan around New Year as it’s considered to be an auspicious pairing.”
The burger pays homage to the turn of the year, which is the biggest event on the Japanese festival calendar.
But SoraNews24 uncovered another tantalizing element to the story; is Burger King hiding subliminal messages in the packaging?

Don’t know that I could down a 1 lb. burger, but that Hoppin’ John looks good
I think that is a burger to share- one good luck bite each…that said, who knows how many people try to keep all the good luck to themselves! The hoppin’ John will be cooked first thing on Jan. 1! Happy New Year!
bam!
I like the look of the garlic one, John. But four burgers in one does seem greedy! 😊
Happy New Year to you and Alex. 🥳 Best wishes, Pete.
Might tale me most of January to eat that one 😉 Happy New Year
Or for the entire family! Happy 2025!
Nice post, John. We didn’t see this burger but we did purchase a variety of KitKat flavors.
