Earlier this week we learned that they are stuffing hot dogs in pizza over in the UK. And last month we got word that they are deep frying McRibs in Austria.

Could it be that America, the land in which fried chicken was first used for bread, is no longer the undisputed champion of ridiculous junk food hybrids? Not if Burger King has anything do with it.
