1) Giant Burger
Denny's
Beer Barrel Pub, in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, already held the title
with a 6lb burger; owners thought a 15-pound burger would prove an even
bigger attraction, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Diners
who can finish the £25 ($44USD) burger in under five hours win £200
($350USD), a T-shirt and their name posted on the pub's wall of fame.
They also got the burger for free." Every restaurant needs a gimmick -
ours is big burgers," said Dennis Liegey III, son of the restaurant's
owner.
Visitors
come from as far away as Australia and California just to see the
6-pounders and try to eat them. The new burger, dubbed the 'Beer Barrel
Belly Buster', is as big around as the inside of a car tyre. Each one
comes with a cup and half of mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup, a head of
lettuce, two onions, three tomatoes and 25 slices of cheese.
2) Another Whopper
Burger King's left handed whopper:
Going
back a bit, In 1998, Burger King published a full page advertisement
in USA Today announcing a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed
Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans.
According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same
ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty,
etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit
of their left-handed customers.
The
following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that
although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had
gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously,
according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right
handed' version."
