“That’s not a burger. It’s a portable heart attack,” tweeted one person. Yeah that pretty much sums it up.
Burger King Thailand has released a new burger that doesn’t actually contain any meat or toppings. Instead of meat, the “burger” — which technically is more of a sandwich — has 20 slices of American cheese, placed cocktail napkin-style in a pile between two buns. And from the looks of photos of it online, the cheese is not melted like it is in the promo photo.
“Not for fun, this is for real! Real cheeseburger from Burger King! 🍔,” reads a translation of a Facebook post from Burger King Thailand. “Carrying up to 20 slices of American cheese!!! 🧀”
The post then goes on to say the sandwich is being offered right now for “only” 109 Thai baht ($3.13); it would normally cost 380 baht ($10.93).
“When it comes out, it’s cheese. There is no surprise inside,” reads a translation of an Instagram post by @eating_dha, who cut the sandwich in half to show its deck-of-card-like layers.
“At first I thought it was a joke, but it was actually sold to me,” said TikTok user @nutapiwich in Thai, in a video that has more than 400,000 views. A translation of the video indicates that the TikToker enjoyed the sandwich. “Pretty delicious.”
Honestly? If it was available here in Alabama, I’d try it. Would you?
