Humanity's not really going places anyways.

[Udderdude]

Too bad all the fatties that eat this shit would survive the blast, due to their thick layers of blubber.

[Dragoforce]

Glad we don't have that shit here.

[mr_m0nks]

I'm sure the chicken would be proud

[speedlolita]

I'd eat that to fuck.

[Elixir]

Hahah they're not even trying any more.

[ZOM]

Oh my, I get the urge to cook something that LOOKS EDIBLE.
How is that saying called in english? "to eat with one's eyes" or something like that?

A friend sent me a link about this last week, and I've actually been looking forward to it. I find something appealing about the sheer ridiculousness of it. Actually, I'm surprised Burger King didn't come out with something like this first; they've been actively trying to be less healthy for years.

The only KFC I've had in the past 15 years or so was when they came out with the grilled chicken, which wasn't very good, so my hopes aren't too high.

The Pacific Northwest has a burger chain called Zips. The menu varies depending on the particular joint, but one of their signature burgers is "The Boss". Basically it's a big ass burger that looks like what your heart becomes after you consume one. This and that have the same appeal. I ate a Boss so I could say I did, as well as have an excuse to lay in bed feeling terrible for the rest of the day.

Or it's for the fatties, because regular greaseburgers aren't cutting it anymore.

This looks so delicious, I've been looking forward to trying it. That said, I don't plan to eat the things too often, for obvious health reasons.

On th bright side, the fast food industry is changing from "hey that big mac looks nothing like the ones on tv" syndrome to, you're looking at what you get.

[Acid King]

I love my absurdly unhealthy food, but I'm not a huge fan of the chicken and cheese combination.

Glad we don't have that shit here.

What, Sweden doesn't have any ridiculously unhealthy food?

[Never_Scurred]

I don't see what the big uproar is. There are many common things that will kill you just as fast if not faster than this that we come in contact with every day. I mean, how many of you smoke, drink, text while driving, etc.? I'd be more worried about that than a fucking double chicken cheese sandwich.

[adversity1]

Hahah they're not even trying any more.

[Davey]

Ironically, I don't think there'd be much hoopla if it had all the same ingredients but came in a bun (yet another big greasy fast food sandwich, yawn).

I guess it's more the marketing audacity of the thing than the actual ingredients, sort of like that one restaurant (the "Heart Attack Grill", was it?) just throwing up its hands and saying "Y'know what? This stuff is obviously crap, and that's exactly how we're going to present it." In a way you have to give some props for the straightforwardness, unlike all the fast food places which insist that their junk can be "part of a healthy lifestyle" or some garbage like that - there are plenty of other ways I wish companies like this would play it straight with their customers, granted, but that's another topic.

The best part about the Heart Attack Grill is that it's free to eat there if you're over 350lbs.

Depressingly enough, I'm looking forward to eating one of these things.

ONLY one though. A second would kill me with how little junk I eat...

Yeah; if anything they're making it seem worse than it actually is. It's officially 540 calories; the same as a Big Mac.

Oh man that sounds damn sweet. I hope it becomes a country-wide chain.

So I can get hyoooooooooooooge.

[A_Civilian]

Dying tastes good.
But honestly, I'd rather not eat that. Looks messy to hold.

What about your current location, smothered in cheese & chocolate, upside down?

I am not subsidizing fatties with my lunch money. *America, fuck yeah guitar chord*

Haha, I've read about salads that are more calorically dense.

For me eating shit like this (this doesn't look appealing, but there are some horribly unhealthy sandwhiches/burgers that I adore,) is along the same lines as consuming alcohol and whatnot. Moderation is key. I mean, just last Thursday I had an amazing 1/3 lb hamburger with big slices of sausage, cheese, onions, and BBQ sauce on it. Very delicious, not exactly what one would call healthy, but I'm 6' 2" and 175 lbs =)

Hey, with cheese and chocolate you can actually prepare dishes that look good and healthy.
You just have to know when to stop with some of the ingredients. Like Arvandor mentioned, moderation is key.

[Lordstar]

its the sandwich that kinda defies the whole pouropse of a sandwich. two pieces of bread in which to hold yummy things so you can hold it in one hand while playing cards. I guess thats why they called it the D.D. Not that I care its all fucking awesome.
