Burger King Sandwich Packs the Calories



MIAMI (AP) -- Burger King began offering two new breakfast sandwiches Monday, including one that packs more calories and fat than a Whopper.

The Enormous Omelet Sandwich carries 730 calories and 47 grams of fat and comes with two eggs, sausage, three strips of bacon and two slices of melted American cheese on a bun. It's heftier than a Whopper hamburger, which weighs in at 700 calories and 42 grams of fat.

Officials at Miami-based Burger King Corp. said that healthier choices are also available, but surveys showed customers wanted bigger sandwiches.

"By expanding our indulgent breakfast sandwich menu, Burger King restaurants now offer even more alternatives for our guests who want a convenient and filling breakfast," said Russ Klein, Burger King's chief global marketing officer.

The other new breakfast item, the Western Omelet Croissanwich, is a lighter pick with 320 calories and 17 grams of fat. It has fire-grilled onions, ham and melted American cheese inside a folded egg on a croissant.

The omelet sandwich will stay on the menu at about $2.99, but the Western sandwich is in stores until May 8.

Looking at that, makes me hungry and nauseous at the same time.

It's best served by smearing BBQ sauce on your chest, then dragging the sammy through said "dip" towards yr. mouth.

Reading that yesterday I noticed that their rebuttal to the scorn from nutritionists was a good one: It's not reall any different than a big breakfast plate at a place like Denny's. In fact, it's less fat or calories than most of those meals, but you don't see people screaming outside Denny's (or at least I don't).

Kinda like the argument over legalizing weed, etc... Whether one guy offers it or not don't matter - if people want a 700-calorie gutbomb in the a.m., they'll get it somewheres.

GAHHHH!! Open belly laugh in office.


This is crazy. We just talked about this in my office this morning.

They are actually trying to market it towards "men with active jobs"......"This sandwich is for real men....these guys aren't paper pushers" etc...


DAT ATTACK!

i like to eat and this even makes me a bit nauseous

my first ever true lol moment.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who feels this way...


about the BBQ sauce, that is...

Breakfast from hell.

Great Googly Moogly! They actually sell this in a supermarket???

HOLY SHIT!!

Stick that puppy in a blender and pour it down the feeding tube baby!

That was an awesome article..... I'm going to check out those Hungry Man dinners the next time I'm in the grocery. That puts that BK sandwich to shame. I'm surprised they didn't squirt on some breakfast sauce made from whipped cream and mayo.

Those fucking Grand Slams at Denny's have got to be up there too, like Swansons. In no way should you have pancakes with syrup, a pile of eggs, hash browns and three kinds of pork, plus toast at one meal.

I can't believe that's actually not called the Swanson's "I Just Don't Give A Fuck Anymore" Breakfast Meal.

BARBEKUKKAKE!

wrong. most nutritionists [people with any sense that don't eat at these god awful places] are screaming about bad food in general, no matter where it comes from.

I will confess to doing IHOP's Big Breakfast a few times in my day. It used to be I couldn't finish it. Portions must have gotten smaller or I've just gotten fatter.
