Stop Your Heart With The King

Posted Oct 23 2008 9:40pm

Burger King has a new line o'meaty sandwiches.  I'm sure you've seen the signage out at BK for these - The Stackers!  These are your options:

  • Double Stacker - 2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese, and 2 pieces of bacon for about $2.49.
  • Triple Stacker - 3 patties, 3 pieces of cheese, and 4 pieces of bacon for $3.29
  • Quad Stacker - 4 meat patties, 4 slices of cheese, and 8 slices of bacon for $3.99.

From Komo:

    As you'll notice, there's not a shred of produce on any of these sandwiches. In its news release about the Stackers, Burger King says it hopes to satisfy "the serious meat lovers by leaving off the produce and letting them decide exactly how much meat and cheese they can handle. The BK Stacker is "really easy to eat on the go, because the cheese and sauce hold it all together," says spokeswoman Adrienne Hayes. "It's not slipping and sliding around with tomatoes and lettuce. You have to know you're eating a ton of calories and fat when you order a sandwich like this. But let me run down the numbers for the Quad Stacker, which has a half a pound of meat in between all that cheese and bacon. It has 1,000 calories, 68 grams of fat and 30 grams of saturated fat. That is more fat than most adults should have in an entire day. An average adult should have 65 grams of fat or less per day, and 20 grams of saturated fat or less.

    Are you hungry yet?  Do you crave a taste of the King?
