Baseball park offers 4,800 calorie burger!

msnbc.msn.com — The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team, will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger. The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun!

    Needs bacon!
  • EMFK, on 03/25/2009, -3/+39Oh! And don't forget the Diet Coke. :-)

    I'm getting heartburn just thinking about all the grease. Yucky.

  • matthewf01, on 03/25/2009, -0/+15Can someone bring it to me?
    God forbid I burn 50 calories walking to the vendor to order one... he should come to me!
  • DadeMurphy1, on 03/25/2009, -1/+14They need to up the ante with these giant burgers and just offer a whole cow with two slices of bread.
  • trujillonorte, on 03/25/2009, -2/+15Damn thats a big burger...
  • GregFD3S, on 03/26/2009, -0/+12"...and a Diet Coke."
  • brad3378, on 03/26/2009, -0/+10Has anybody ever tried replacing hamburger buns with 2 enormous french fries?

    If not, they should.
  • Nick217, on 03/25/2009, -2/+12seems like these stories come out each spring. and each spring i greet them with gluttonous interest.
  • DirtyBinLV, on 03/26/2009, -0/+8So...they took all of the food available at the snack stand and mushed it together in a pile?

    Is that marketing or was a slack jawed employee just bored during a slow inning? Well, it's on Digg, so I guess it was pretty good marketing.
  • ljdmd, on 03/25/2009, -1/+9Now we can understand why healthcare costs so much in this country.
  • upick, on 03/26/2009, -0/+8Now you can literally die at the ballpark

  • quentinp, on 03/26/2009, -0/+7Let's see that's like...96+ points, so I could eat one of these and nothng else for 3 days!
  • Iwantawii, on 03/26/2009, -0/+7"Nothing tastes as good as feeling thin feels." -Oprah

    /buzzkill
  • PeanutCheeseBar, on 03/26/2009, -1/+8No bacon?

    Buried with extreme prejudice.
  • mogebier, on 03/26/2009, -0/+7Don't those people know you should NEVER eat something bigger than your head?
  • inactive, on 03/26/2009, -0/+7Food like this is a novelty. People probably buy it and share it with whoever they are with. As long as you don't get into a habit of eating this kind of crap all the time, its fine.
  • amprather, on 03/25/2009, -1/+7Does that include the price of an extra seat....as your ass grows!!
  • earthceltic, on 03/26/2009, -0/+6How did I know this was going to be a Michigan article (posting from atm)? We get to see mounds of fat hanging over the sides of walmart motorized scooters (if one ventures to go to such places) and enormous levels of childhood obesity too (think moobs at age 8). This "food" is the last thing ANYONE needs, let alone anyone from MI. Try PLAYING baseball instead of gorging yourself til you can't move anymore.
  • ddoorn, on 03/26/2009, -1/+7Here's a clue to the record-breaking obesity / diabetes rates in the USA! Sheesh! What in the world are people THINKING when they make such concoctions...let alone those who EAT them!?
  • zyklon, on 03/26/2009, -0/+6Just grab a napkin. So you're saying you don't want to eat an American favorite at an American sport? Do you hate America?

    /s, in case your detectors are broken.
  • ddoorn, on 03/26/2009, -0/+5OMG, what a horrible site...LOVE IT! Best belly laugh I've had today!
  • cruzlee, on 03/26/2009, -0/+5"The Grand Rapids Press reports that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt."

    XXXL fits all.
  • t4stringer, on 03/26/2009, -0/+5CHOLESTEROL! yummyyy
  • chopeh, on 03/26/2009, -0/+5Sheeesh... Fine.. Don't even try to fight your own stereotype.
  • NYConcepts, on 03/26/2009, -0/+5Only in America!
  • inefekt, on 03/26/2009, -1/+5yeah, size XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL
  • judahhertz, on 03/26/2009, -0/+4And this is why we have a high rate of obesity. Just looking at that thing makes me feel sick.
  • floboskifilms, on 03/26/2009, -1/+5It looks like trash on a bun.
  • MattyC69, on 03/26/2009, -1/+5I guess this is an appropriate time...

    .... AMERICA!! ***** YEAH!!!!
  • coastiefish, on 03/26/2009, -0/+4Bacon and extra cheese. That thing needs more cheese -- 5 slices just gets lost in there.
  • lithera, on 03/26/2009, -2/+6This thing (no other word) holds enough calories to feed a human being on a normal diet for 2 days.

    People who eat this kind of crap in this volume should be excluded from public healthcare. If you want to kill yourself, fine, but don't let other people pay for that.
  • JackpotCity, on 03/26/2009, -1/+5Phelps could do it.
  • Recoil, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3If you find yourself ordering one of these I think you should see that as a warning sign.
  • inactive, on 03/26/2009, -1/+4Way too many carb's...
  • hyperspaztik, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3Hey, I live there! I think I'll get myself one of these come time for baseball.
  • momedefome, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3HOLY *****!!! that's a heart attack on a bun
  • borez, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3I just threw up my muesli
  • Musk, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3Oh man - this is why I need to move to the states! I don't expect I'll be coming across one of these at the football here in Aus.
  • ezyeric, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3I live 2 miles from the Ballpark, and used to work there. Maybe I'll have to do my own man vs food segment.
  • CaptainNoPants, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3Holy *****, someone made the taco town taco
  • JBrown99, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3It's good, but no match for the 8,000 calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger.

  • CaptainNoPants, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3Which thin person is she feeling?
  • yaryarhumphump, on 03/26/2009, -0/+3@TheEngineer2008 - and you just made it better...
  • cyberkickme, on 03/26/2009, -0/+2That my friend, is the American Way.
  • opensourcer, on 03/26/2009, -1/+3i think you can eat one per day and be fine as long as you don't eat it with fries.
  • l337dexter, on 03/26/2009, -0/+2God, I ***** love my city.
  • replaysMike, on 03/25/2009, -5/+8what, no Bacon?
  • heresy_fnord, on 03/26/2009, -2/+4This was just on the front page 2 days ago: http://digg.com/food_drink/The_4489_Calorie_1_66_l ...

    How about something new instead of the same stories over and over again?
