A Fifth Third Ballpark Burger

Just looking at the thing I feel the need for a salad, an angioplasty, and something to clean out my colon.




I'm all for a good burger and at times I have been known to eat two of even three at one sitting but that sucker could feed some family in a third world country for a week. Heard about this on NPR this morning and had to look it up.

Here's an unlikely economic indicator: Last week, the West Michigan Whitecaps minor league baseball team sold more than 100 mega-sized burgers on opening night.
It's made with five patties plus chili, American cheese, nacho cheese, tortilla chips, salsa, lettuce, tomato and sour cream — all piled on an 8-inch bun.
The mammoth meal weighs more than 4 pounds. And, even in this era of scaling back, plenty of people took on the burger by themselves.
