Hardee's Hamburger : Holy Heart Attack

Matt gets the Wall Street Journal, and this morning there was an article about a new hamburger that Hardee's just came out with. It contains (commence mouth watering): 2 5.7 ounce burger patties, 3 pieces of cheese, 4 pieces of bacon, a buttered sesame-seed bun topped with mayo. Before you jump in your car to the nearest Hardee's drive-thru, know this: The "Monster Thickburger" as it has been named, contains 107 grams of fat. That is almost 5 times the recommended amount of fat per day that you should have. SICK! Also, it has 1,418 calories. That is almost all of your daily allowance as well.
The CEO says he is getting thanks for "putting out a burger that people can actually eat." WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Are Americans really so disgusting that we can only eat a burger that is guaranteed to give us a heart attack?

  • yeah, a double quarter pounder with cheese (the fattiest sandwich at McDonalds) has 40 grams of fat... still way too much, but not even close to the Monster Thickburger...

  • i have no problem with these burgers. i am in strong favor of anything that kills people. I would like to feed these to all babies in the country to get them started off in an american spirit.
