Stan's Wagon Wheel in Sikeston, Missouri, is offering a 7-pound "Frankenstein" burger for free, plus a $100 prize, if the customer can eat the whole thing in one sitting under an hour. The $20 burger only contains four pounds of meat, but the 14-inch buns, condiments, and fries add up to seven. The restaurant isn't about to go bankrupt from this challenge; only one person has completed it. "I didn't make it impossible for someone, but I think it's going to take an awfully skinny person to do it," said owner Frank Stanley.

A 7-pound burger with four pounds of meat may seem daunting, but it's not that bad compared to a five pounder (in meat), 15 pounder, 19 pounder, or 35 pounder.
