Haven't had most of those, but I will say that the mushroom swiss burger was a disappointment. I much prefer the baconator. 2 baconators and some chili and some fries and coffee and a frosty makes for an excellent lunch 🙂

For a whale...

More calories doesn't necessarily mean worse for you.

No, but high calorie, plus high fat (and high saturated), plus high sodium is not really a great combination.

Well I know that 😉 *sips on vegetable juice*

I was hoping this would include things like fair food. At the Minnesota State Fair this year, some stands were selling chocolate covered bacon on a stick.

Or other homemade stuff like the guy who put a McChicken inside a double cheeseburger (McChurger): http://img206.imageshack.us/my...?image=dscn0553ph0.jpg

EDIT: How could I forget the bacon roll!?

Weave together a bunch of strips of bacon, roll it up, fill with cheese...

Oh holy crap! Man I'm glad we no longer have a Quizno's near me. That prime rib cheesesteak was as much of a weakness as I've experienced!

I love the signature hot chocolate, especially hazelnut. But I started getting it as a short and without whip. Which makes me feel a little better, although I still probably shouldn't be drinking it.

A national story kinda has to use nationally available products.. I'm sure that there are thousands of local foods that are far worse.

Nice! I think this list was just supposed to contain readily available items that anyone can get at the local joints.

Of course. When I saw the thread I thought it may have been more of a fluff piece focused on the most innovatively unhealthy food of the year, but I see it's actually about food you can buy anywhere.

i think the one i had was $7.99 CDN. ie. so cheap that you HAVE to get it.

i think it was...

- 1 classic sandwich
- 4 chicken nuggets
- chicken fries
- a thing full of popcorn chicken
- a brownie

hmm. there had to be more.

I gave it a try but I guess I require simple flavor combinations. The salty and sweet was good but when I want hot chocolate i mostly just want the sweet part.

(also hates chocolate + mint or fruit but likes them separate)

 

[God Mode]

KFC box meal here I come! 🙂

oh fuck my GF loved those. Where the fuck do all the calories/fat come from?

Did you have to change your avatar because your love of hallucinogenic drugs and Tool? 🙂

HOLY SHIT! 266G OF SUGAR? WTF LOL!? That damn shake has more calories than I eat in a day. O_O I should start eating those, I would pack on the pounds pretty fast! 😉

Jesus christ... 320% your daily saturated fat. 😵 Man, wow. That shit is crazy.

Oh, and I have ate none of these things. I have ate mcdonalds quite a few times though.

Must find a Baskin Robbins...

[Pardus]

in terms of calories: White Castle Chocolate Shake-1680, Nathan's Fish N Chips-1537,
Hardee's Monster Thickburger-1420. i never eat anything at burger king, mcdonalds or kfc. wendy's burgers are a lot better than the rest, salads are good too. taco bells crunchy taco supreme is only 200 calories and very filling.

I loved the salted caramel signature hot chocolate when it first came out. The 2nd time I tried it, I added a single shot of espresso, and that made it so much better.

But the last time I ordered one, they gave me the equivalent of a watered down mocha latte. :frown:
