Name it.....McMonster, McCardiac


"Eight all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

Its been a while since I last had Maccas but lately i've been bombarded by advertising for a campaign to name a new burger at Maccas and now from the McPeople who bought you Son of Mac is the mutha of all Big Macs.

If Morgan Spurlock had had a few of these during the making of "Super Size Me" I don't think he would have been able to last the 30 days nor would the girlfriend be only complaining about lost of sex drive. I guess its a bit harder to perform when you're dead!

P.s. please note that the folks here at "Wheel the Big Cannon" in no way condone the consumption of this burger and indemnify ourselves from future legal actions (i.e. you can't sue us if after reading about the monster burger here you decide to stupidly go and have one and end up keeling over)

MONSTER-SIZED McDonald's hamburgers stuffed with up to eight meat patties and nine slices of cheese have been slammed as "a heart attack waiting to happen".

Some of the fast-food chains sell super-sized Quarter Pounders, which contain about 220g of fat and 11,500kJ each, on request.

The "double pounder" is the equivalent of more than three days' worth of fat for a grown man - or almost five Pizza Hut deep-pan Hawaiian pizzas or 45 Tim Tams.

At about $18, it is not listed on the menu, nor under nutritional information.

It has developed a cult following as a challenge for teenagers, after a video was posted online of a 17-year-old boy ploughing his way through the burger at a McDonald's restaurant.

Rival chain Hungry Jacks is also allowing customers to order mega-burgers under its Have It Your Way ordering system.

Nutrition Australia senior nutritionist Aloysa Hourigan described the double pounder as "obscene" and a "heart attack waiting to happen".

That is just deplorable. It's like legalised crack for fat addicts.
