'Hamburger straws' are Japan's newest way to make the rest of us wonder what's going on over there
Sometimes Instagram trends explore the beautiful form that food can take, and sometimes they're really freaking weird.
Confusing at it may seem, a new trend has emerged in Japan that involves sticking McDonald's hamburgers on drinking straws.

According to Kotaku, the trend hasn't reached worldwide as of yet, but is becoming so popular in Japan that it was covered on 2ch, Japan’s biggest online bulletin board. It's referred to as “drink x hamburger” (ハンバーガーxドリンク or hanbaagaa x dorinku) or “hamburger straw” (ハンバーガー ストロー or hanbaagaa sutoroo).
All it really involves is sticking a hamburger on a straw and taking an Insta-worthy photo, similar to an earlier donut drink trend. But this time... it's burgers.

We have to admit, this does look pretty delicious, even if it is a bit strange.

You can even do this with breakfast sandwiches. The internet doesn't discriminate.
We don't know how you can do this without getting bits of burger in your drink, but all that matters is that it looks good for the 'Gram.
Great, now we're craving a big, juicy cheeseburger. Thanks, Japan.
