Welcome to Gehinom!

MSN reports,

The "Monster Thickburger" — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun — sells alone for $5.49, $7.09 with fries and a soda.

...one Monster Thickburger contains twice the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat, and nearly a full day's worth of sodium. Even before the new Monster Thickburger, the chain offered five sandwiches with 1,000 calories or more, and eight overall that have more calories than what was once the big-burger standard — McDonald’s 600-calorie Big Mac.

Calories: 1,420
Total fat: 107 grams
Saturated fat: 34 grams
Cholesterol: 228 milligrams
Carbohydrates: 52 grams

May G-d have mercy on us all.

**UPDATE** According to an unofficial online WW points calculator, the burger alone is 37 points. Enjoy!

Just looking at that made my heart go pitter-patter ... and not in a good way! That thing will KILL you. Maybe even LOOKING at that thing will kill you. LICKING it may kill you. That thing should be registered as a deadly weapon.

That's about it...

The thing I'm concerned about is that people following Atkins will get this with no bun and think they're on a diet!

Atkins is in a death spiral but you're right. My BIL would most certainly. Mr. "I'm just going to gnaw on this stick of Pepperoni" himself.

I think we've found one of the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Seriously, concoctions like this make me glad to have the excuse of keeping kosher.
