A six pack of burgers, that is. Not content with offering the more well-heeled denizens of tony Knightsbridge London an £85 sterling Kobe burger, Burger King is offering the rest of the nation a chance at overindulgence in the caloric rather than the financial department. The 6 Pack is actually one large patty sandwiched between six mini buns all attached to each other. Although the buns are joined together, BK has attempted to allay the concerns raised by health advocacy groups who balk at the 6 Pack's 917 calories by claiming that it's designed to "tear and share." Of course the fact that BK is offering a meal deal that comes packaged with a single drink and an order of fries indicates that the chain is at least anticipating some people will make the 6 Pack a single-user product.
It's basically mentally tricking yourself into thinking that you're not eating very much...by eating tons in a longer amount of time. Not that you're scarfing down fast food, fast, anyways.
I just tried one of these, but they're not really that great. It's not one big patty, it's three small oval ones - one for each "row" of 2 burgers (I think the patty is actually a children's Angus burger). The first row has tomato sauce + gherkins, the second row has cheese and NOTHING else (!?), and the final row has cheese, bacon, and brown sauce (I am sure some British people like brown sauce on a burger but I'm not one of them..)
Oh, and they don't just do the meal with fries. The also do the "6-pack bundle" which is 2 6-packs, 2 medium and 2 small fries, 2 medium and 2 small drinks, chicken bits and onion rings. So they are at least making "tear and share" an option.
