According to Julie from ObjectSharp, the Japanese text after “13cm” says “American-size buns”.

Bob Firestone: If one 7-patty Whopper is going to kill you, upgrading operating systems is the least of your problems. A pattern of eating 7-patty burgers is going to make you more likely to have a heart attack, but not just one!
Besides, I think the burger is aimed at that subset of Japanese kids who want to grow up to become a competitive eater just like the great Kobayashi.
