I beg to differ. I bet you’d die much more quickly from eating, say the countertop.
Well, Not sure how unhealthy it is (as In 'n Out) has a realtively good reputation for healthy food, but they serve a burger called the double double, or two patties with two slices of cheese.
Not too unhealthy, you say? How about a three by three (costing a nice $3.33), or a 4 by 4 ($4.44), or a 5 by 5 ($5.55), or a double 4 by 4 ($8.88)? They gots them all. And I am unaware of a limit.
My vote is for the cleaning supplies in the closet. I bet Drano will kill you quicker than the countertop.
What about taco salads? With the deep fried bowl, and sour cream? I had heard that was one of the unhealthiest things…
Also, at Copeland’s, which is not fast food, but still… they have a hamburger that is huge – the Copeland Burger, served with cheese, bacon, homemade mayo, on a sliced, grilled crossaint. And tiger sauce, which is I don’t know what, but it is very sweet and creamy. Um.
Okay, now I’m hungry.
Maybe all out weight is not as important as the sheer cardiac arresting potential of the content.
In the fish and chip shops of Scotalnd and the North-East of England there is a delightful propensity for deep frying things.
Deep fried Spam fritters, besides being revolting must be a champion candidate for heart attack inducing,.Made from junk meat and meat byproducts, coated in batter and then deep fried in even more fat, beef fat at that.
Then there is the legendary deep fried Mars bar(murricans call them Milky Way I think)

Scotland has a lot to answer for, at least it makes the oxymoron ‘English cuisine’ seem mild, check this out,
That reminds me - my sister lived in York for a while. She once went to a pub and ordered a hamburger. When she got it, the patty was breaded and deepfried. :eek: She said it was the most disgusting thing she’d ever seen.
There’s a place twenty miles down the road, in this sleepy little town where my parents live. It really only has one real restaurant, and this places serves 2 pound hamburgers, the Double Wimpy’s burger. This thing is massive; it looks a lot like the picture that ultrafilter posted.
Incidentally, they have other wonderful things to eat so we go there pretty often. However, I have a friend who consistently eats one of these things…with a side of curly fries…and a side of slaw. The kicker? He’s maybe 5’7", 150 lbs.
My mother also deep-fries twinkies. Like, in her Fry Daddy. The first bite is delicious, but the rest is the most disgusting thing you’re ever seen - or tasted, for that matter.
Everyone seems to be focussing on grease. Grease, I can handle.
I once made the mistake of going to a fast food franchise “seafood” place. I think it was called Skippers. It was set up like a english chip shop, (except plastic & overlit-) Your goodies are served in an injection-moulded simulacrum of a straw basket, lined with artificial newsprint.
I ordered deep-fried shrimp. The batter was terrible! I thought it was going to make me ill, so I decided to strip off the greasy, bland batter and just eat the shrimp.
Upon removing the batter, I found that the shrimp hadn’t been cleaned.
That’s right, each one had a nice, fat, full alimentary canal, full of shrimp poop. And we all know what fussy eaters shrimp are.
casdave, I could go for a deep-fried pizza supper and a bottle of Irn Bru, right now. MMmmm. Sounds like what panzerotto was meant to be.
