why not in heer'n 'murica?

japan is well-known for being the crazy capital of the world but who knew they could out-crazy the good old u s of a in the prestigious field of bacon?!?

"Burger King in Japan is currently running a promotion where you can add 15 strips of bacon to a burger for ~$1.25. So what did some reporter do? Went ALL IN and ordered 1,050 extra slices, creating this $90 monstrosity."

is it wrong that i have a pretty bad craving for bacon right now?

This Is Why Your Heart Stopped: 1,050 Bacon Slice Burger

obesity epidemic? nonsense!

Friendly's Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt

This is the BurgerMelt to end all BurgerMelts. We place a think and juicy 100% Black Angus Big Beef Burger between two whole grilled cheese sandwiches, complete with lettuce, tomato and mayo. You'll have to taste it to believe it.

well thank goodness they managed to sneak that lettuce and tomato in there or else ordering this sandwich would need to come with a coupon for a free quadruple bypass instead of just a double bypass.

i think you could just save yourself the hassle of finding a friendly's restaurant and the incovininece of an extended hospital stay and just stuff a double down sandwich inside a baconator.

everything's better when it is MEGA sized!

now if one were to make a plan for ensuring coronary heart failure by the age of 8-and-a-half, i would recommend eating at least one of these every day:now you're probably thinking that you're not 8-and-a-half anymore and you'd like to get your coronary heart failure plan back on track as soon as possible. so here's the recipe for your daily scotch MEGAegg:
20 hard-boiled eggs wrapped in bacon and covered in sausage meat and breading, baked whole.

bah dah bup bup bah... i'm lovin' it!

the heart attack sandwich

i don't know why no one ever thought of this before (possibly because it is a HORRIBLE idea) but KFC would like you to meat (intentional typo) their brand new sandwich:as you can see, they call it the double down sandwich and i think they call it that because it'll take you down... TWICE!

it is bacon and 2 types of cheese in sandwich form and...

...

wait for it...

...

...it comes in a CHICKEN BUN!

that's right... bacon AND cheese, pressed between 2 chicken fillet 'buns'...

and if that's not going to form a solid ball in your intestines, you can make it a combo! this sandwich deal crushes the idea of healthy eating with it's baby toe! take that arteries! WHAMO!

ok, now... who wants to go for lunch? i hear KFC has a delicious new menu item...

baconator, you just got owned!

some bacon lover out there has taken the art of bacon gourmet to the next level. not sated by the 840 calories and 6 pieces of bacon offered up by wendy's baconator, this chef of chefs has come up with the ULTIMATE bacon dish.

behold, it's what your arteries have been craving...
the bacon and cheese roll!can anyone say 'bacon induced orgasm'?
well, i can. but i'm not going to. at least not more than once.

more bacon!

bacon, you complete me. you had me at hello.

and if your thirst for bacon wasn't satisfied by this, this or THIS then boy-oh-boy, do i have something for you... ok, so maybe it's not as exciting as i'm making it out to be... but maybe that's because you're not actually the bacon lover you professed to be. shame, shame on you for lying. lies make baby jesus cry. well actually, crying babies are fine... just so long as i don't have to soothe them. so go ahead, lie about your bacon lust! see if i care!

ANYway... for the bacon-oholic on your christmas list...
the bacon ipod holder!

not so crazy about the bacon tuxedo?
but you still want bacon in your life?
here's an alternative that's a little more low-key...

renowned pastry chef david lebovitz (don't worry, i didn't know who he was until just now either) has come up with a recipe for candied bacon ice cream...i have yet to decide whether this is brilliance or madness... but i am probably to lazy (and scared) to try out the recipe to get a sound judgement. but according to the guy's website, this kind of messed up shit is all the rage in ol' paree... all hoity-toity and fancy-schmancy. chocolate chip? that's too everyday-people... give me bacon instead!

this reminds me of the time an acquaintance of mine adamantly demanded that the poor teenager working the counter at the walmart mcdonalds (this story is so deliciously white trash) take his mcflurry and 'make it bacon!' (look it up - it's totally on the menu... or at least it used to be. PS - it's also the cheapest thing on the menu!) and then the entire staff and everyone in the restaurant watched as he ate it. adding to the inane-ness of the evening - upon leaving, we went through the drive-thru and ordered just 'make it bacon'... the drive-thru attendant argued that it wasn't actually a menu item; it is meant as an add-on to say a burger. but then hey, why is it on the menu? isn't the customer always right? can i have a bag of 'free smiles' with my order? we ended up with a big mac box with 9 pieces of bacon. neat story, eh?

every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

two words for you: bacon tuxedo.not actually made out of bacon so you can't eat it but it does SMELL like bacon!

get this... these are 'Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburgers' and apparently they were served up at google's NYC office cafeteria to celebrate america's obesity. NO! they were served for the head cafeteria guy's birthday!
gross with a side of grease.

artery traffic jam!

"Caution: Baconator bites back"
Another 'food' no one should eat
gross, gross, gross, gross, GROSS!
you know, when i first saw the ads for this "burger" i thought to myself, "now that's totally unnecessay!" but then i thought, "wow, i like bacon!" but there's no way i like bacon THAT much! the junior cheeseburger or even, if i'm feeling extra hungry, the junior bacon cheeseburger will do it for me! and how can they even call that cardboard stuff bacon? it's like the kind you nuke for 5 seconds and it's all crisy and ready... fake, fake, fake... But i guess it's not like real bacon is any better for you...
here's the break down on the baconator...

cost: $5.49

what you get: 2 114g hamburger patties, 2 chedder cheese slices, 6 pieces of bacon, mayo, ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, dill pickles, onion, tomato, lettuce, wheat-flour bun

how it stacks up: 840 calories (40+% daily recommended intake), 36g carbs, 51g fat, 57g protein... not to mention more than the daily recommended intake for sodium.

i always love the people who order the big mac meal at mcd's with the super-sized fries and then proceed to order a diet coke... like that's going to help.
