AOL's home page was featuring their new steak burger at 950 calories and
59 fat grams. I looked at BK's nutrition page and there's stuff on there that's even worse!
The Triple Whopper with Cheese weighs in at 1250 calories and a whopping 84 fat grams!!

Obviously YOU are not!

Sheesh! That is a lot of potential energy, sometimes known as a calorie.

:D

Why would anyone want to look at the nutritional information on fast food? The Health Nazis should be discouraging this public knowledge, not encouraging it.....

My blood is getting chunky just thinking about those greaseball burgers.

I've been meaning to post something about the "Whopper Virgins" adverts for a a few days now.

Transylvanian farmers who have never seen a hamburger? Isn't this basically the exact same concept they used 20-some years ago with the "Herb" thing that was one of the biggest bombs in ad campaign history?

And I'm somewhat amazed that the domain name whoppervirgins.com was actually available.

I have never eaten a Whopper before. I don't like Burger King because I don't like flame broiled burgers.....

But I thought he Herb commercials were cool... then again, I was only 10 at the time and slightly easier to impress than now....

So you are a Bonafide Whopper Virgin? You'd best email Burger King and get paid! Although I'm willing to wager that, in order to get in on the campaign, you must go into paroxysms of delight at your first bite and declare that they are indeed the best thing since sliced bread.

In a nod to Marley and a stab at ontopicosity:

I think BAM once had a question asking the name of the guy who'd never had a whopper.

It would probably take at least 4 figures for Burger King to get me to eat one of their atrocities....

And I remember a Q about Herb.... it was way back in the PT days I believe (Well, it had to be, I've never seen the Syndie show)....
