The internet is going crazy about the launch of Bar B Q Plaza's new "Black Pan," which will arrive at 25 branches around the country this Thursday, Sep 22. 

News of the updated cast iron pan was released through a seductive video shared on Bar B Q Plaza's Facebook page (see below), with the company stating it took six years of intense research and an investment of B110 million to create the product. The most important change? The soup space is now wide enough to sink a full spoon in. 

Comments on the above video, which has been viewed over 500,000 times, see many people express excitement about the new and improved pan, while others are criticizing the company for taking so long to make such a simple change. Indeed, the question we're left asking is, why is this worth getting so excited about?

In the comments section, there are also rumors—seemingly confirmed—that the gold from the previous pans will be used to create souvenir necklaces in the shape of miniature Bar B Q Plaza pans for customers to purchase in the future. 

In related news, Food Passion Co, the operator of Bar B Q Plaza restaurants, plans to run a total 127 branches around Thailand by year-end. 

You can find the Black Pan at Bar B Q Plaza from Sep 22 onwards at branches including CentralWorld, Central Ladprao, Central Rama 2, Terminal 21, Siam Center, Mega Bangna and more.
