In a country as bloody freezing as Finland, it should come as no surprise that saunas are hot over there. Statistically, there are approximately three million to the country's five-and-a-half million inhabitants - about one per household. Makes sense, then, that officially the world's ultimate sauna recently opened in the capital city of Helsinki. What makes this one so special? The addition of burgers. Yep: the worldís first fast-food sauna, located in a Burger King, allows up to 15 diners to take indulgence to the next steamy level. Not only can they order patties and fries to munch while they steam, they can also watch TV and play video games, all while wrapped in fluffy robes. There's even a shower room in which to wash off the whole sordid affair afterwards. Gives a new meaning to the term the 'meat sweats', eh? 

We also want an ice cream museum like New York and a 3D-printed house like Beijing
