There are some pretty crazy, weird and interesting records in The Guinness Book of World Records. This past Labor Day weekend, a ridiculous world record was broken when Minnesota’s Black Bear Casino made the world’s biggest hamburger. Why did the casino decide to make a colossal hamburger? They would say, just for the fun of it.
Cooking the cheeseburger was no easy feat. It required a crane, parking lot, and a gigantic homemade oven.
The diameter of the buns and meat patty measured up to a total of 10 feet. It took seven hours to bake the bun and four hours to cook and flip the meat patty. Stacked on top of the patty was even more ingredient madness. There were 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of lettuce, 50 pounds of sliced unions, 40 pounds of pickles and 40 pounds of cheese.
The calories in the 2,000-plus pound hamburger were outrageous.
The new champ burger is close to 3 million calories!
In our opinion, the time and money used to break the record for world’s biggest cheeseburger could have been used for something else that would actually benefit society. The fact that Americans would spend their time breaking a world record for the biggest cheeseburger might suggest there’s something wrong with our world.
Yes, it’s fun to break a world record; but the world’s biggest cheeseburger? Maybe next time they should try the world’s healthiest sandwich!
