    Holy shit.

    I’ve had one of these once.

    … I recommend it to an adventurous eater, or someone who has depression.

    Because you can eat one of these, and know with 100% confidence that this will be the worst hamburger you ever eat, and that everything else, everything after, is definitionally upward from there.

    Truly these things are so awful they reset my entire scale for how awful food can taste.

      On the other hand, you no longer take a good cheeseburger for granted now. A good cheeseburger is a work of art and should be treated as such.

        Exactly!

        When you know how bad bad can be… good is better than it was, you respect it more, don’t take it for granted.

      I assume you must need to throw a bunch of ketchup and mustard too make this palatable? Reminds me of the cafeteria burgers we got in elementary school. Plain buns that have been under the heat lamp a bit too long.

        our burgers in school were ok, even if they were part soy. this was the 70s and 80s though, before school lunches became outsourced profit centers for greedy corporations. school lunches in general were pretty good… and at college after, even better. was like going to a gourmet all-you-can-eat buffet for every meal (the ‘freshman 15’ was very real back then).

          Only did the last 2 years of highschool in the US and decided on the first day I wasn’t gonna hve the food the school served, but the gourmet upgrade effect at uni is very much still a thing.

          Or at least it was in 2013

        if I remember right, I could not palate it, gagged too many times, gave up, tossed it out, just ate the snickers i’d also bought with it.
