Hardee's Newest Menu Item: 'Monster Thickburger'

POSTED: 4:30 pm EST November 15, 2004

ST. LOUIS -- The Hardee's fast food chain has rolled out its new 1,400-calorie Monster Thickburger, with 107 grams of fat.

The sandwich boasts two one-third-pound beef patties, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese, topped with mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun.

1. Heart Attack on a bun.

:puke:

2. The Hummer of burgers n/t

[Droopy]

3. Damn, I'll have to get me one of them

Just to say I ate it and lived to tell about it. Think they'll give me a t-shirt?

[Robeson]

6. No, but they may give you a new heart valve, after you've...

...blown yours out! ;-)

[LongTomH]

21. It's not heart valves

You'll be needing the Roto-Rooter treatment for your arteries! That's what clogs up with plaques. These people are going to be responsible for thousands of premature deaths from circulatory disease.

4. oooo now i'm hungry

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. Might I suggest going to Friday's for lunch?

5. American Gluttons

The poster above has it right, the HumVee of burgers. It is a free society, and I am certainly guilty of hedonism. But, this tendency Americans have for the extremes is troubling. 1400 Calories!!!! That is about half the daily total calories for an average sized person.

7. Add a Lg Fries and Lg Coke and you're over 2,500 Calories

Hardy: Brazenly daring; audacious.

[FM Arouet666]

8. If you ate this thing you would have to change your name

from "neonplaque" to "arterialplaque":evilgrin:

[WindRavenX]

20. half??

2000 is the recommend value- and even then, that's pretty high for most non-active Americans. Heck, I only eat ~1,000 calories a day- 1,400 calories in one MEAL is insane!
Maybe this burger wouldn't be a big deal if it was the occasional treat for active adults, but I can guantee you that it is NOT going to be primarily consumed by said group.

[FM Arouet666]

22. Caloric requirements vary

There is no fixed recommended value. Your daily requirement depends on your current body weight, sex, age and level of activity. My requirement, to maintain my current body weight, is around 2800, hence my estimate of one half the daily requirement. Your right this would not be true for everyone.

[NickB79]

29. Ah, why didn't they have those when I was a teenager?

When I was a teenager back in the late 90's, I had a 4000-calorie-per-day diet, and I was still skinny! I kid you not, I ate between 3000-4000 calories per day, but I just couldn't break over 150 lbs. Of course, stacking hundreds of 50-lb haybales per day burned calories like mad too.

9. I'm a young guy

so I would eat that burger in a heartbeat. Although granted, when i'm older i probably won't have much of a heartbeat anymore...hehehe

[sbj405]

10. Just looked at the poll they are conducting

15% Can't wait to try it and 15% will probably have it at some point. :eyes:

[GingerSnaps]

11. Without the bread wouldn't it be on the Atkins diet plan

:puke:

[Danmel]

12. Wow! Something worse than a Dave's Deluxe

That really sounds vile.

[Archae]

13. Ordering this burger should be classified as attempted suicide.

Yeesh.

[pdx_prog]

16. Don't have Hardees out here

We have Carl Jr's which I thought was the same, but it is not. We don't have Steak N Shake which I love.....No cracker Barrels or Waffle Houses or Sonics either...

[SmileyBoy]

17. A food research group called it "Food Porn".

I saw a little about it on CNN.

I eat a lot of crap, but there's even no way I could eat something that vile.

Although I did have a big plate of homemade poutine last night...

[Richardo]

18. Pfft. Hardee's ain't got nothin' on Denny's Pub...

NINE pounds, baby!

[Ekirh]

19. Wow....

I think there's a prize for eating that in less than three hours.. but I don't remember...

[GOPisEvil]

23. Why did I know you'd be here...with that...and her?

;-)

[Richardo]

26. 'Cause it's what I do...

...it's like the GOPisEvil beacon...

[Biased Liberal Media]

27. How the hell do you eat something like that??

Seriously?

[Endangered Specie]

24. With fries and a drink that comes too...

Cal = 2300
Fat = 130
sodium = 2900
carbs = 200
cholestorol = 205

[Endangered Specie]

25. Im not sure if that would turn my bowles into

Greased Lightning or 5pm Gridlock?

[slowroll]

28. I will eat it.

I will eat it tomorrow. And I will wash it down with a vanilla milkshake. And then I will probably take a nap.

[NickB79]

31. When you wake up

Tell my dead grandpa Leo I say hi :-)

[Blue_Tires]

30. i don't get it

a couple years ago, some chain (may have even been Hardee's) came out with an 1850-cal burger...two patties, mushrooms, swiss cheese, bacon, the works....that only got token mention in the press, for some reason
