Thailand's Burger King has introduced a limited-time menu item called the 'Real Cheese Burger,' which contains only cheese, sparking mixed reactions among netizens.
According to Fox News on the 12th (local time), Thailand's Burger King sold the 'Real Cheese Burger,' which contains 20 slices of cheese between buns, for just three days from the 11th to the 13th. The price was 109 baht (approximately 4,000 KRW), slightly cheaper than the regular Burger King cheeseburger priced at 129 baht (about 4,700 KRW).
The reactions of those who actually tasted it are mixed. People who like cheese responded positively, but some netizens said, "It's too much," and "The cheese flavor is too strong, I can only eat half."
