This almost seems like an April Fools’ idea someone in marketing turned in late. So corporate said screw it, let’s just make it a real thing…
In all fairness Wisconsin is the CHEESE STATE, I mean we LOVE it but even by “Wisco Standards” this seems excessive! Burger King is selling a new burger in Thailand that’s not really a “burger” at all.
They’re calling it the “Real Cheeseburger,” but there’s no meat . . . just a bun with TWENTY SLICES of American cheese on it.
You’ve gotta see the photo to appreciate just how much cheese that is. 20 slices is roughly a POUND of cheese between two buns.
The photo in their ads makes it look melted. But there’s a YouTube video of a guy eating one, and it looks like they barely even heated it up.
For its initial run, they’re only charging $3.00. But they’ll eventually sell it for $11. So it sounds like they plan to make it a permanent menu option in Thailand.
No word on whether they’re bringing it to the U.S. or not, but you can already get one if you want. Just order a cheeseburger . . . no ketchup, mustard, pickles, OR meat . . . and ask for 19 extra slices of cheese.
(Side Note: We would be OK if they called it “The Big Cheese”)
