The 4489 Calorie, 1.66 lb Burger
The Consumerist ^

Posted on 03/25/2009 7:41:12 AM PDT by Scythian



The West Michigan Whitecaps recently unveiled their new stadium menu and gloating at the top of it is the 4489 Calorie "Fifth Third Burger." This 1.66 pound piece of gastrointestinal wunder, named after team sponsor 5/3 Bank, costs $20 and feeds 1-4 people. If you eat it by yourself and finish it in one sitting, you get a free 5/3 tshirt. Said the team's marketing director, "It's something fun that people can understand."

“Look delicious. Chili, beef, Nacho’s and hot sauce. The four basic food groups.”

Wrong! The four basic food groups are...

Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Alcohol.

This should be illegal because I don’t really want to eat one.

OMG! I sure wish in-n-out was on the east coast, too.

They’re the best.

Been 15 years since I was last living in LA—

I liked me some In-n-Out-your pic brought back memories.

Double-Double regular—or switch it up and get it “Animal-style”. Daddy like.

Only other fast food place I’d go to regularly in the LA area was Tommy’s Chiliburgers-a couple of those as a post-hangover meal would straighten out the kinks....

Then there was Der Wienerschnitzel—and El Pollo Loco...

Chocolate's gotta be in there somewhere. Chocolate is essential!

“It will cost you $15, but I have to think it is worth it, minus the trip to the cardiologist.The “Fifth Third Burger” is five-thirds of a pound of grilled hamburger, nacho cheese, chili, salsa, crunched tortilla chips, tomato and lettuce served on a special eight-inch sesame seed bun. The estimate it could feed a family of four.”

“Chocolate's gotta be in there somewhere. Chocolate is essential! “

Chocolate is covered in the Sugar group. It should make up 1/4 of your total food intake.

Looks like a turd, covered in vomit, sitting on a bed of diarrhea.

You see a lot of those, do you?
