In a move probably alleged to be a miracle of social marketing, McDonald's Germany recently unveiled five crowd-sourced burgers, each with a vaguely German focus. More

Japan is a country known for trying out flavor combinations that few others would—tomato-flavored white chocolate, anyone?—so it's no surprise Burger King in Japan released the BK Ringo: a burger with lettuce, honey mustard, mayo, and a slice of apple (ringo in Japanese).

In an effort to offer $2 premium-sounding burgers, the King has short-changed us on the beef and tried to hide it under a razzle-dazzle of toppings. More

The Jumbaco from Jack in the Box isn't an official menu item, but you can craft your own double taco burger by ordering the Jumbo Deal. More
