Triple Burgers

Gayle · 09-02-2006, 20:42

Just watching the adverts and saw a Burger King add for Triple Burgers. Instead of making me feel hungry it made me quite angry. No one need three burgers on a bun - it's tantamount to poisoning yourself.

Before you start, I love a good burger, just think that putting three on a bun is over doing it!

hows that work then, how do you get it in your mouth, and is it just three burgers or is there bun inbetween.

One bun, three burgers inside it I think

A big mac is one bun split in to three, which I'm eating tooo many of lately and all cos I've got vouchers books

Doing a 12 hour shift some day at work i dont have time to cook proper food the easiest option for me is to run into macdonalds and get 3 double cheese burgers, 3! people may think of me as lazy and cant be bothered to make my own lunch at home. In my job i dont finish till 5 sometimes 6 in the morn im not in a mood to make my lunch especially when im back in at 10 to traipse all over blackburn. I find it very hard and thank god for a quick service at mcdanalds. I cant stand macdonalds and dont like giving my money to them but being in a rush i have no other option. My bofriend usually buys 2 big macs. The fast food companies usually advertise the burgers on tv as though they are the perfect burger, the burger looks so tender and meaty, the salad looks crisp and colourful, the bun looks cooked to perfection it makes you want to eat it there and then. yet when you actually go and buy the food it looks nothing compared to what is being advertised on tv. When your eating your burger the salad is limp, the burgers are either too small or overcooked. One burger does not fill you up.

Not a fan of burgers unless home made and like BB there are times when making my butties for work is not an option especially on long shifts. So its either a TV meal chippy or chicken from the supermarket as a warm meal is what is needed on a 12 hour shift.

Gayle your dieting's turning you into the food police.

It's only like a big greasy club sandwich.

I'll have one, and supersize the fries please.

I know, but don't you think it's just a teensy weensy bit excessive - three? Anyway, you'll be relieved to know that I'm not getting much support on this one at home either - I mentioned it to Chris in horror and his response was "when are we going out for one?" Strikes me that if I can't beat it I might as well join it - let's watch those cholestoral levels soar!

They have probably made the burgers thinner, so the three will only give you a fraction more meat.

Gayle · 10-02-2006, 10:44

Probably, but also doubled the price. lol

If any of the meat in those burgers has ever seen a farmyard, I'll eat hay with a donkey.....

Not a fan of fast food, I also work long shifts and always find the time to prepare my own food and take it with me.

I wouldn't eat a single 1 never mind a triple! I'm not on a diet I don't make a point of watching what I eat, fat/cholesterol wise. I just don't like eating something that tastes like what I imagine carpet to taste like.

And what would a carpet taste like?

Gayle, your only jealous! I can eat junk food, ordinary food, or absolutely saturated food that should put me over-weight what happens I still end up the size I am. Even not eating at all makes no difference, they say you are what you eat, I agree eat cabbage you smell of rotting veg', eat meat you smell of dead cow, what the heck, eat what you enjoy, you might just live as long or die two weeks earlier, but enjoy the life you get!
