I was at the gym yesterday and heard a radio ad for Wendy’s. It was for the just plain awful Baconator burger (see right). I get it, people like meat, I like meat. But this is too much. The spokeslady, Wendy (I guess), was saying, “Who wants to bother with lettuce, especially when you’re just going to pick it off”. Seriously. People pick lettuce off of burgers? It doesn’t taste like anything, maybe dirt if you don’t wash it but it’s like crunchy water.
You can argue that throwing lettuce onto a burger that’s already 23549135 calories and 254.25 grams of fat is silly, just like ordering a diet coke with your double cheeseburger combo is ok because you know, you “just to be healthy” but do you really need 2 patties, 2 strips of cheese and 6 pieces of bacon cramped inbetween two stale buns? I don’t think so.
I remember, once my brother asked me to order and double whopper (O.M.G. I just saw that there’s such a thing as a triple whopper) for him at BK. I refused to ask for this, partly because I was worried that the cashier would think it was for me but mostly because its disgusting (and I love myself a Whopper). This brings me to this question, why do boys love these types of burgers? I’ve only heard of one female order a Baconator and she regretted her drunken decision in the morning.
All of the burgers mentioned above seem to be the starting point of items found on this website. I look at the images on this site, praying that these aren’t real and aren’t actually served for people to consume. No one needs this. The worst part is that people are able to eat things like this and their bodies don’t react to them. I’m sure that if I were to consume this, I wouldn’t be able to work for days, as proved by my first (and last) visit to The Cheesecake Factory and after eating just 1/4 of ones of their pasta dishes.
Anyways, the kicker is the tagline at the end of this Wendy’s Baconator ad. Go to Wendy’s for a quick, quality meal. Puh-leeze. I’d rather not and say I didn’t.

Ugh, the Ex used to order these. I once jokingly dared him to order one. From that moment on he rarely ordered anything else. I took a bite and it pretty much tasted exactly as advertised. Meaty.
I bet it soaks up the alcohol really well though.
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of “The Heart Attack Grill” in Chandler, Arizona…but watch this video and get a glimpse of it for yourself. Bill Geist from Sunday Morning went to visit…haha, it’s a short clip, but interesting!
At least they aren’t advertising it to be a “quality meal”!

Oh. My. God. I can’t believe there’s such a thing as a quadruple bypass burger.
My favourite part, “I can feel my arteries seizing but it’s so worth it.” Really? I’m sure when that dude’s on his death bed, literally, he’ll be saying, “I wish I didn’t eat a quadruple bypass burger everyday for the last year of my life.”
I’m sure the burger tastes fantastic! I’m mean, grease is tasty but not everyday. Maybe once a year, maybe.
Thanks for the video!
I can believe that it’s worth it. PS–check my link.
Haha I think you’re right! I’m sure he’ll have a life reflection moment that includes that quadruple bypass burger… I wouldn’t want people to see me going in there. I’d feel really hog-like!!
Yep, I’m glad you watched it! I thought it was appropriate for your topic!
