Does a burger get any bigger?

So before I start blogging about the stuff I saw last week at our internal conference I saw something that I just had to take a photo of in Seattle Airport:

Take a look at the BK Stacker in the middle. In the centre of the photo is a two meat pattie burger which already looks massive but then I looked to the left and there was a three pattie burger....Oh my goodness I thought...it just doesnt get any bigger than that but then I looked to the right. Oh Yes if three massive lumps of meat isnt enough theres the four pattie version for you! Imagine trying to eat that!

So I asked the guy at the counter - "Do you sell many of those?"

"We sell a few' he said

So Im imagining a guy with a mouth the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex trying to fit his mouth around it. I couldnt help but laugh!

Update 23/2/2007:

So on Friday just gone I was at McDonalds with the family. Im relating to the staff there about the gigantic burgers they have in the USA. They say to me "We have those here too - we do make a four pattie burger but we're not allowed to advertise it on the board - you want one?" I politely decline and realise that I need to update my blog.....:)

  dude - you havent met the monster thick burger then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Thickburger The Monster Thickburger is a type of double-bacon cheeseburger introduced by the St. Louis, Missouri-based Hardee's chain of fast-food restaurants in the United States. The burger contains 1,410 calories (5,900 kJ), 107 grams of fat, and 2740 mg of sodium. Ingredients include a sesame-seed bun, mayonnaise, bacon, cheese, butter-flavored shortening and two patties of ground beef made from Angus cattle for a total of 2/3 lb (300 g) (uncooked) of meat. The marketing of this burger may represent a neo-comfort food movement against alarms raised by nutritionists about an obesity epidemic. In an interview on CNBC, Hardee's CEO Andrew Puzder said sarcastically that the sandwich was "not a burger for tree huggers." Sales for the 2,067-restaurant chain have risen steadily since the introduction of the Thickburger family in 2003, with same-store sales up 7.8% annually.

  I had one last weekend - because my wife wasn't with me! I ordered it with extra bacon. Took it to the park and shared it with my dog. We both needed the walk after that! Never again!
