Would you eat a burger with 8000 calories?

[SoCalDem]

This image taken from the Heart Attack Grill website, shows part of their menu. The barely year-old Tempe, Ariz., restaurant with its slogan "taste...worth dying for!" makes the "quadruple bypass burger," estimated to be 8,000 calories, and it is served by waitresses in "nurse" outfits.(Heart Attack Grill)

their website: (the "nurses" are interesting:eyes:.)

1. I will be willing to bet the waitress in the pic doesn't regularly snack on the food there

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. And while the grotesque lardasses are cramming their craw

with grease and meat and cheese dripping their flabby extra chins, the front of their shirts stained disgustingly with their lunch and probably the lunches of a few days, greedily chomping away like they'll never see food again, spraying pieces of bun and ketchup and bacon around the table because they can't afford to take the time to close their mouths while they chew lest it slow them down and they have to risk that someone might enter their food zone stealing their over-caloried slop, they sit there and ask each other between their loud wheezing gasps for breath and their mouths so loaded with food one can barely understand the words their fat jowls are striving to articulate, "Why do they hate us?"

[flvegan]

3. I hear that hunger amongst the poor is at an all time high right now.

"Food" for thought...

[mikeytherat]

4. BS! No one is "hungry" anymore - they have "food insecurity"

:crazy:

[flvegan]

5. D'oh! You're right. I remember getting that memo.

Thanks for the reminders.

[mikeytherat]

7. And that 8000 calorie "bovine bowel buster" could feed a family for a week!

[BreweryYardRat]

6. Eww...

I may joke about wanting a 15-pound burger, but that thing is NASTY looking.

[RebelOne]

8. Even if I ate meat, I wouldn't tackle that grotesque burger. n/t

[Gormy Cuss]

9. "1.5 Pounds of Beef slid between two tastybuns"

Whatever do they mean by that? :eyes:

Perhaps they should have named the place "adolescentboyfantasygrill"

[Left Is Write]

10. No. Even if I could (no way!), I wouldn't.

[BarenakedLady]

11. No

I wouldn't eat a beef burger at all. :-)

[unpossibles]

12. I know this sounds mean... BUT....

anyone dumb enough to eat that deserves their 'reward'

[ContraBass Black]

13. Yes, but not all at once.

That looks good for about a week.

[texanwitch]

14. I don't think so.

:puke:

[One_Life_To_Give]

15. Should make a good appetizer

Now what wine goes best with it?
And does it matter what you are having for the main course?

[jmowreader]

25. Visit THIS website for wine suggestions...

as to what wine to avoid, anyway.

http://www.bumwine.com

Describes Wild Irish Rose as "a conspiracy by the Republicans to kill the homeless."

[Deja Q]

16. Reading that gave me chest pains...

Fortunately, it was just gas that needed to be burped out... :D

[Sugar Smack]

17. And ANOTHER thing..a BURGER is something you're supposed

to be able to fit your MOUTH around!!! What fucking genius came up with something so tall it's absolutely impossible to eat? Whose idea was this anyway? HOW do you eat this? And why is this pissing me off so much?

:nuke: :o

[Deja Q]

20. LOL, maybe the maker of that burger had some, um, "insecurities" elsewhere?

:yoiks:

[Sugar Smack]

23. Hypno, no need to hide! You're on to something!

For one thing, what year did fast-food operations try and out-gross each other? I remember the meat-lover's pizza from pizza hut, the Monster Burger from Burger King, that slop-in-a-bowl KFC is selling, and finally the Hardee's breakfast sandwich that's obscene. There was another...I think it was steak on top of a hamburger.

The themes to this particular food circus are sex and death. And you're right; the person who designed this one has issues.

:P

[Deja Q]

30. Mostly death. I don't believe in orgasmic food...

though it's said whipped cream attempts to contribute to the condition, but what would I know... :blush: :rofl:

I think the fast filth joints started to get gross-out in the 1980s. Probably the same time the Garbage Pail Kids(tm) were introduced...

Steak on top of a hamburger? Wowzers...

[Sugar Smack]

35. Yeah, steak and burger in the same heap!

I think they probably had to discontinue that one.

I remember going thru a Hardee's drive-thru for a coke, and the voice said, "Would you like to try our new Hardee's steakburger?" Before I could stop myself I shouted, "OH, GOD, no!!!" and then said more calmly, "I mean, no thank you." But I heard a few people laugh back there.

Whipped cream, though? :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Deja Q]

36. Well, steak and burger does sound rather good... I could eat that for hours...

Hardee's steakburger? Now that says a mouthful...

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Sugar Smack]

37. Freeper troll!

J/K!! LOL! :rofl: :loveya:

[trof]

18. No.

That's about 5 days worth of calories for me.

[Drum]

19. Maybe as a "last meal" option....

:eyes:

[petronius]

43. Yeah, that was my first thought , too...

I'd want to stuff myself with enough grease to explode on the electric chair - whoever has to clean old sparky is gonna earn his paycheck after I pass through...

[Mojambo]

21. Sure

You only live once.

[YankeyMCC]

22. Ah No nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. 'Are you man enough...?'

Will someone explain to me exactly what that means, whether about wading in the pig trough or slaying a dragon? :shrug:

[WindRavenX]

33. I think what he's trying to say is...

..."if you don't eat 4 pounds of meat a day you have a small penis and cannot satisfy your woman"

:eyes:

Fucking disgusting...and we wonder why we're obese beyond belief.

[Quantess]

39. It's reverse logic, really.

If a guy eats enough of those burgers, his woman won't be able to find his penis under all that flab, LOL.

[WindRavenX]

40. that. or even get it up

High fat diet leads to ED

[Connonym]

38. If you have to ask... (n/t)

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. TWMT

'Nuff said.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Just the thought of that nauseates me.

And I like burgers, but yoiks!

[Initech]

27. 8,000 calories - are the lettuce and tomato really necessary at that point?

:puke:

[Left Is Write]

32. Well, some people LIKE lettuce and tomato.

:P

[jmowreader]

28. I would eat that.

I might actually gain half a pound from eating it, if I didn't move for three or four hours afterward.

Yes, sports fans, I have what one might call an "extremely high metabolism." Remember the Monster Thickburger Hardee's was selling that weighed like two pounds? I ate that three times and I LOST weight doing it. (I stopped eating at Hardee's because they're WAY too stingy with their ketchup.)

But...y'know, I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant before that offers cigarettes as a side dish.

[diamidue]

55. I totally understand!

This is the kind of meal I would have eaten gladly 5 times a day if it meant I might gain an ounce. After years of stuffing myself, though, all I got was a screwed up digestive system. Still skinny after all those years of trying..

[crim son]

29. That website can't be real.

& the burger looks vile.

[Sugar Smack]

31. How?? HOW is it possible to eat that?

I mean, HOW does one get his mouth around such a thing? Even for one bite? What is one expected to do? It's physically impossible to hold such a thing together with two hands and not have the thing come apart immediately, even if a person only took one bite off the side of the top third.

[Redstone]

44. That's what Mrs R just said. Yes, we looked at the website. We figure you just

smash it up with your hands and bite off whatever squirts out between your fists.

(Oh, wait a minute...that's not all that appealing a picture to think of, is it? At least not for me, given that I'm a straight guy...)

But Mrs R kinda likes the idea.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

47. I'm thinking that one has to double-handedly push down

with all one's weight to endeavor to flatten it out some; and that would be an extreme mess.

Y'know, I prefer one of your tomato sandwiches. :9 I got pulled over once, you know, for rushing home to make one.

[Redstone]

48. Worth the traffic ticket, wasn't it? Thanks, now I'm going to go into a Tomato Jones

until next summer. Argh.

Unless the store gets some of those hydroponic 'maters from Holland this winter, as they sometimes do. but it's still not the same.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

49. You started it!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Redstone]

50. Yes, it's like the dope dealers: The first one is always free. Now I have you under

my spell, and you'll not be able to have what you REALLY crave, which is that same sandwich with my Improved Garlic Pesto Mayo...not unless you come up here and let me make you one.

Because I'm NOT giving you the recipe.

Now you know what you have to do.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

51. I can't just give you my watch?

:rofl:

Actually the thing is, I'd rather keep my $15 watch AND come up to see you. God's honest truth.

[Redstone]

52. Then you know what to do. Besides, I've never worn a watch, so forget the bribe.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

53. I do!!!!!!!

:bounce: :toast: :hug:

[Redstone]

56. Then do it. We'll look for you to arrive sometime mid-summer, yes?

Redstoe

[jmowreader]

64. How I would eat it

I think I'd skip the side order of cigarettes (yes, you can get that) and ask for a Butcher Knife to be added to my flatware selection and for it to be brought out with a spare plate.

I would first slice the burger in half vertically. I'd lay one half on the empty plate and the other half on the plate it came on. I would then be able to slice each half to produce four burger wedges.

To consume the sandwich, pick it up by the ends, kinda press it together a little so it doesn't fall apart, and eat it like it was an ear of corn.

If you leave it whole and attempt to eat it like a regular hamburger...you guys are exactly right, you'd never make it.

There's another way--ask them to bring you a second bun, and imagine it's just two hamburgers that have been rather imaginatively presented. Put the top half of the sandwich on the second heel, top the bottom half off with the second crown, and you're off.

[BlueStorm]

34. No way... that is way too much for me

and I already have cholestrol problems. No thanks I'll pass.

And what is it with these types of restaurants dressing it's female employees in skimpy clothes?

Blue

[Quantess]

41. They're capitalizing on the "manly men" eat steak and drive Hummers BS.

Remember that Hummer commercial? (At the supermarket, the guy with tofu looks at the guy with piles of steak pakages. Then tofu eater throws down the tofu and runs out to buy a Hummer. It ends with the words "RESTORE YOUR MANHOOD".)

This is that same idea, that pigging out on red meat will make you manlier and women will somehow (don't ask me why, because it makes absolutely no sense) be aroused. All it really does is raise your cholesterol and clog your arteries, an maybe increase your risk of colon cancer. And, women will see a big fat guy in front of them.

So...guys are supposed to imagine that the hot waitress will watch lustfully as he-man eats his 8,000 calorie burger.:eyes: :thumbsdown:

[BlueStorm]

57. Like that is going to work

Yeah I saw that commercial and the message is pretty clear, if you eat tofu and other health foods you aren't a real man, blah blah blah.

Like I said I couldn't eat that anyways, it just too damn big besides I already have cholestrol problems. Last year I had it checked and it was 284. Damn I'm 26 years olds and I am on pills for it. I eat alot of fast foods and cheap foods because it's really all I can afford.

But still, I can't eat that hamburger.

Blue

[Nikia]

42. I wonder what they are frying in

By estimation, there is no way that burger should have more than half the calories it claims.
As for me, I have a hard time not freaking out if I have a tenth as many calories in one meal, which is better than when I freaked out about having that many calories (800) in a day.
When I was running and eating a lot in college, I did have a big steak that was probably almost as much beef, a large salad, toast, and a baked potato though.

[Generic Brad]

45. It seemed like a possibility until I saw the picture

That looks far more extreme than Hardee's Monster Burger. I know I could not eat that.

[Aristus]

54. If the food alone hadn't turned me off, the attitude would have.

Are nursizz 'r' purty All-Amurkin gals who TAWK ENGLISH!

Give me a f*****g break.

[firefox_fan]

58. 8000 calories? That's 4 meals!

[mike_c]

59. four MEALS? It's four DAYS worth of meals, LOL....

:rofl:

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

60. I'd hit it!

... oh yea the burger looks good too.

[idgiehkt]

61. what burger

up and to the left...that's a meal

[nicknameless]

62. It looks like about six hamburgers.

Nothing even fancy about it. Would it be macho to eat six burgers?
Hardly seems worth dying for.

I think it was Thom Hartmann I heard talking about an obscenely large burger that other countries are refusing to advertise.
I tried googling for more info, but couldn't find any.

[benny05]

63. It's more than the big burger, right?

With fries and a beer...

[Xipe Totec]

65. No, but I'd burn it in the fireplace

to keep my family warm for the Winter.

[Godhumor]

66. Did you see the fries?

They deep fry their potatoes in 100% lard just to complete the meal. I really wonde rif the website is joking about having "wheelchair service available".

[JVS]

67. I'd gladly have the single .5lb or double 1lb bypass burger, but the triple...

seems a bit much.

[Dastard Stepchild]

68. I might try a veggie burger that was 8000 calories....

But it would have to be an insane amount of veg burgery to get to that calorie amount. Could I eat it, like, over the course of 4 weeks? Cuz then I am all into that challenge.

[SmileyBoy]

69. I would actually give the Single Bypass a tryout.

But that burger is probably 1500-2000 calories in itself, and with a side of fries (and a Diet Coke, LOL), I would make it be the only thing I would eat in the day, because that's approaching 2500 calories.

[bleedingheart]

70. I can't say anything... I grew up eating stuff that makes that look

healthy...

[GreenPartyVoter]

71. No. Even two patties on one burger is too much for me, fat girl tho I am.
