HOLY CRAP! Who would eat this damn thing??
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 10:49 PM by Elrond Hubbard

This thing is a heart attack in a tortilla. This thing is death served up hot. This thing is an abomination before god and man. This thing has more grease than John Travolta's hair. This thing has more fat than Rush Limbaugh's ass. This thing has more cholestorel than a tub of deep-fried lard. This thing is part of what is wrong with America, a breakfast so disgustingly unhealthy and decadant, that only a depraved fool would partake of it. They don't hate us for our freedoms, they hate us for our vile meat-filled breakfast death burritos.
I would dare someone to eat this monstrosity, but I don't want to be responsible for the death of another Du'er.
EDIT: I'm a moron.

24. Why that looks like the contents of your stomach after you finish eating it.

Then listen to your bowels scream "Let's get ready to rumble!" LOLOLOL

4. i know! and i'm about as decadant as the next guy...

8. The sausage gravy is truly a stroke of brilliance
I stand in awe of whoever thought up that monstrous packet of calories. And for only $2.69! You could buy two for the price of a Venti Caramel Macchiato.

12. How does this differ from , say, a breakfast at IHOP?
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 12:13 AM by dotcosm
Or Denny's?

Like, the Grand Slam, or whatever?

Is it just because it's all rolled up together that makes it gross?

Edit to add this, from Denny's website:

Meat Lover's Scramble

Two eggs scrambled with chopped bacon, diced ham and crumbled sausage, and topped with Cheddar cheese. Served with two strips of bacon, two sausage links, hash browns and three fluffy buttermilk pancakes.

17. My stomach would be in angony if I ate that.
Actually if I ate any of the foods they listed at the link my stomach would be in agony.

18. I'd eat it.
I'd have to be in the mood, though. Stuff like this is why I don't usually eat breakfast!

Now, if this was being sold at the Minnesota State Fair, it would be batter-dipped, deep-fried, sprinked with powdered sugar, and drizzled with Pepsi syrup.













On a stick!

:rofl:


Hmmm... is there a heart-attack smiley?

21. OMG I remember my grandmother's meals in Minnesota
piled high with hamburger, potatoes and corn - then when you were finished and in a food coma she'd bring you another plate with the same amount of food on it :o

Damn, now I'm hungry!

28. Sounds kinda good...
Although I'd be happy with a half of one.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest nutrition Nazis can suck it.

29. Heart attack in a tortilla?
You say that like it's a bad thing! :evilgrin:

Seriously, I'm boggled. Then again, a Whopper Jr. makes me nauseated--I'm a fast-food wuss.

30. almost, but not quite, as gross as the KFC "bowls"
I'm not one of those people who freaks out when foods touch on my plate but come on when you mix it all up like that it's like pouring slop into a pig trough. Yuck.

31. Also
one reason I wouldn't eat this is because Carl Karcher (founder of the corporation that owns Carl's Jr, Hardee's, Green/Red Burrito, and La Salsa) is such a dickbag. He donated a million dollars for Prop 6 in '78 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_6_%28November_1978%29 ).

33. I knew what this was
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 12:41 PM by Ekirh
before even clicking the link..

I guess they decided... lets take our entire breakfast menu and find a way to serve it at once.

Back during my glutton period, (Which ended once I gave up Hardees, Mcdonalds, Wendys etc. for good . . for better) I might of actually attempted that.

I'm glad now to say... now a days it's just flat out gross to me.

Edit: And it's not even the calories that throw me off... I just don't think all that stuff in a burrito is something that I'd find tasty.

36. Good. Lord. This sounds like the KFC heart -attack-in-a-bowl thing.
You know, the KFC thing with chicken, mash potatoes, corn, cheese, gravy and do it all over again thing in a bowl-thing?

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

38. maybe
I've been coerced into eating worse...

Super Burger
1/2lb ground beef (75% lean)
Bacon
Fried Egg
three cheeses: One was American cheese, I have no fucking clue what the other two were
Onion Rings
Chili (more ground beef)
All served on pan fried roll.

Plus fries on the side of course.

needless to say I'm pretty sure my body is still digesting it several months later.

39. Light action...
ever eat at a breakfast buffet? Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, mountains of butter, home fries, pancakes, toast... Pile up those plates!

Or just one order of eggs Benedict.
