The ‘Angry Whopper’ has arrived in Tokyo. To promote the launch of this spicy burger, Burger King held a shouting contest in downtown Toyko that let pedestrians scream their aggression away, the Associated Press reports.

Screams such as ‘I need to get a girlfriend!’ and ‘Professor, give me my credits!’ were heard loud and clear, AP said.

The Angry Whopper is Burger King’s latest attempt to break McDonald’s dominance of the fast-​food burger market in Japan.

So what’s in this angry burger, besides a whole lotta meat? Jalapeño peppers, hot sauce, onions, cheese, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce.
