Burger King has recently introduced an exclusive addition to their menu, and it's being called the "real cheese burger." And it's literally just that: a patty made entirely of American cheese, and not just a few slices—there are a whopping 20 slices in each burger.
From CNN:
The item launched on Thai menus Sunday, at a reduced price of 109 Thai baht ($3.1), compared with the usual price of 380 baht ($10.9). It quickly went viral on social media in Thailand, with many users on TikTok posting videos of them trying the new sandwich.
“This is no joke. This is for real,” Burger King said in a Sunday social media post.
At one Burger King branch in Bangkok on Tuesday, a shift manager was overheard saying the outlet had to stop taking delivery orders so they could have enough stock left for walk-in diners.
One customer who ordered the cheesy treat told CNN she’d tried it for the first time after seeing it on social media.
Im Jeepetch, a 25-year-old IT engineer, said she loved cheese but “this was a bit too much.”
“I could only finish half of it,” she said, wiping her mouth with a tissue. “This is an insane amount of cheese added into one burger. Food is good when things are at the right combination.”
Im added that she would probably not order the gooey fare again next time: “Other burgers are already good. I think I will go back to my double cheese angus as usual.”
Another customer echoed that view, calling the cheeseburger “too intense.”
This so-called burger sounds downright repulsive.
Just picture sinking your teeth into a sesame seed bun stuffed with 20 slices of partially melted American cheese. It would be akin to devouring a chunk of room-temperature Velveeta.
I can't fathom how anyone in their right mind gave the green light to add this monstrosity to the menu.
