Remember those themed Big America burgers at McDonald's in Japan we mentioned last month? The Texas Burger, selling for ¥400 to ¥420 ($4.38 to $4.60), just debuted last week and helped break their one day sales record with sales of ¥2.8 billion, about $30.7 million. Damn. The Texas Burger is topped with mustard-relish, barbecue sauce, bacon, cheese, and crispy fried onions. A middle bun separates the barbecue sauce, onions, and bacon from the rest of the burger. (Japanese readers, let us know if there are any other noteworthy details in the article.)

Check out this commercial for the burger after the jump.
