The 4489 Calorie, 1.66 lb Burger

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."

The food police have been alerted. Remember, you’re not smart enough to know what’s good for you.

...as good a place as any to insert the cult favorite into play:

Hey - it can’t be that bad! it’s got lettuce on it!

We occasionally go to Whitecaps games so this might be a good meal. The real challenge is eating it while sitting in a stadium seat.

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

Looks Tasty and reasonable!

Unlike this monstrosity:

Looks tasty.

Although I like hamburgers myself I do not like the supersized greasy ones. In-n-out burger is more my style.

My heart stopped just looking at it.

Oh, there it goes again - whew...

[SolidWood]

Like the one at #7?

In-n-out burger is more my style.

Double-Double at your service....post number 4 - it's one of our few reasons to go over to Indio.

It’s called the “Big Meghan”....

The “Department of Food” will ban this burger through nutritio-caloric cap and trade policies that will redistribute the caloric elements to more acceptable nutritional avenues ... like salads.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Looks like a turd, covered in vomit, sitting on a bed of diarrhea. Bet it tastes great though, despite appearances!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

the thing should come with a plunger because you’ll need it later.

[mysterio]

Those double doubles you posted look more appetizing than the monster burger this thread is about. I’d rather have a regular sized burger that tastes great.
