Just noticed this article on MSNBC and thought WOW, I know that's something I'll never eat!

LOL, my thinking was the exact opposite: I thought, "Mmmmmmm...Monster Burger..." and then started to drool.

Watching that on NBC last night, it reinforced my belief that food chains and manufacturers add unnecessary ingredients to food: Among the toppings that come standard on this burger is butter. That's in addition to the mayo that is globbed on and the bacon. Why not add some lard just for good measure, and maybe some syrup?
