OK everyone, you know I love love love all things Japan. Well, here we go again!

The new Instagram trend in Japan is to go to a McDonald’s and post a photo of a cheeseburger – with a soft drink straw impaling it to the lid!

Our friends at SoraNews24.com have posted a story about this wacky new Japanese food trend – no instructions on how you are supposed to eat the burger, but I guess “aggressive nibbling” would be in order – and how did this get started and more importantly, WHY?

Well, no answer to that question, but Japan is known for wacky food trends so add this one to the list!

Thanks of course to SoraNews24 – click here to see more pics and tweets about this new phenomenon!

SoraNews24 is the new title for the classic “RocketNews24” website – a terrific source of all things Asian – and who shared this other food trend going around a couple of years ago:

French Fry Parties!

That’s right, in S. Korea, the kids take over an entire table at McDonalds and fill it with fries – for the ultimo french fry party!

See more pics of that madness here:
