Real Cheese Burger

Burger King Thailand has said that it is no joke but it sure looks as if they’re poking fun at a curiously-named American entrée.  And so we have “The Real Cheese Burger” — all cheese and no meat.  Twenty slices of American cheese, to be precise.  The response?  According to CNN:

At one Burger King branch in Bangkok on Tuesday, a shift manager was overheard saying the outlet had to stop taking delivery orders so they could have enough stock left for walk-in diners.

One customer who ordered the cheesy treat told CNN she’d tried it for the first time after seeing it on social media.

Im Jeepetch, a 25-year-old IT engineer, said she loved cheese but “this was a bit too much.”

“I could only finish half of it,” she said, wiping her mouth with a tissue. “This is an insane amount of cheese added into one burger. Food is good when things are at the right combination.”

Another customer echoed that view, calling the cheeseburger “too intense.”

And this, from a piece on the Coconuts Bangkok website:

How does it taste? Pretty awful. It was the driest burger I’ve ever tasted because there was no sauce and no meat patty. I felt a bit sick to my stomach at the amount of processed cheese I was consuming. No human should ever eat this much dyed yellow cheese at once.

Kudos to anyone who can finish this atrocity. The people who approved this should be hanged and quarter-poundered.
