TOKYO — The Angry Whopper is arriving in Japan, a nation where the competition over hamburgers is as sizzling hot as the new spicy offering from U.S. fast-food chain Burger King.

To make sure people got the message, Burger King Corp. hosted an "angry shouting challenge" contest in downtown Tokyo Wednesday, in which passers-by were invited to scream their frustrations away.

"I need to get a girlfriend," a man yelled at the top of his lungs in an effort to win the prize, a year's worth of Whoppers. "Professor, give me my credits," exclaimed another.

The Angry Whopper, introduced in December in the U.S., has jalapeno chili peppers and hot sauce, as well as a burger patty, onions, cheese, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce on a sesame seed bun.

5. I wouldn't dream of holding the onions. They're angry, you know?

I've always dreamed of the day when I could enjoy a mini bloomin' onion on my whopper. Now I need dream no longer.
