Gut-buster death burger

Monster Thickburger ... launched by US
fast food chain Hardees

By BRIAN FLYNN in New York
and EMMA MORTON

THIS is the new artery-clogging, belly-bursting Monster Thickburger — branded the world’s deadliest fast food by health experts.

It consists of TWO 5oz slabs of beef, FOUR strips of bacon, THREE cheese slices, a whopping dollop of mayonnaise and a buttered sesame seed bun.

It contains a staggering 1,420 calories — 820 more than a Big Mac — and 107gms of fat.

The calorie count of the burger — launched by American fast food chain Hardees — is more than the DAILY intake recommended for people watching their weight.

It is also nudging towards the MAXIMUM number of calories in a normal daily diet — 1,940 for women and 2,550 for men

Though I never eat red meat, and have recently given up meat (save fish), This is the one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

I'm just kinda upset that I have to come up with a new nickname for my penis.

Ok, while in theory/abstractly I think that this is pretty alarming, and a disgusting comment on our society...

I WANT ONE

I mean seriously, its almost like a dare to see if you can survive it.

What's the burger on The Simpsons? Where they crack a fries egg on top and then dip it in melted butter?

You would have to be mentally disturbed to even think about taking a bite out that. I mean just look at it!

I knew there was a reason I respected your opinion.

i don't know about that.

i've seen on more than one occasion in london, people eating huge open-faced burgers with fried eggs on top.
not to mention the popular "egg-mayonaise" sandwich over there.

Yeah, I know the picture is of hotdogs, but see this article about him eating 68 Krystal burgers in 8 minutes. I love that the article quotes someone from the International Federation of Competitive Eating... :shock:

Wonder if they'll do a disgusting tv ad ala Carl's Jr. (Hardees on the west coast), with some nasty guy biting into while everything drips and falls out, and there are disgusting sound effects to go along with it. Maybe the sound of him gagging as a piece of ground beef the size of an H2 gets lodged in his throat. Oh, the horror.

This was mainly a mid-atlantic thing. The thing to really remember is when this was the only choice on the Maryland/Delaware turnpikes for eats.

And their friend chicken sucked.

Central Maryland, too. Never a big fan, but they had a little of everything at Roy's. Roast beef, burgers, fried chicken.

Why the horror in the article about FOUR slices of bacon; Big deal, i regularly eat five or six in one sitting and TWO five oz patties? big deal; the only gross thing about that thing is the bread and mayo...

and roy rogers still exists in select locations (i actually saw a rare atlanta location the other day) hardees was mostly an independant out fit in the south (and pretty decent) until the late 80's when something went terribly, terribly wrong;Now they exist in only the crustiest backwaters and i would pee in the floorboard of my truck instead of walking in there. The horror of "catching" something is a real possibility. :splode:
