opiate of the massive....

Yes I'd eat it.

But only once, as per my policy of trying everything on the menu/gradually comitting suicide.

I would eat this as long I had at least two other people to help me.

I'd be all over that. Allowing you to tear it apart while eating it appeals to that primal caveman instinct.

Does anybody remember burger buddies? I think they were BK's answer to sliders. Holyfield was the celeb pitchman.

I really don't know what to think of this product. I would have loved to be in the board room when the idea was presented.

I can only imagine the conversation.

Compete with pizza? Why do companies feel the need to tilt at windmills like this? I'm pretty sure a large portion of pizza eaters are also Burger King eaters. It's not a zero-sum game.

That's an $11.21 burger combo for those of you paying attention. Pretty sure I can get 2 Little Ceasar's pizzas (or 1 Papa John's) for that much.

The first tag on this post is incorrect. It should be "Oooooh."

Not having the opportunity to change up the toppings would be the only thing holding me back...That, and because it is from Burger King.

Connect and double:

Free advice for BK: Sponsor the next Major League Eating contest and make them eat this.

I'm not a big fan of burger king. For me to try that it would have to taste different from their other burgers.

So they're expecting the the dinnertime conversation to go like this-
"Honey, I feel like pizza tonight. What do you want on it?"
"How about pepperoni?"
"Okay, we'll get half pepperoni and half mushrooms"
"Yeah, that sounds good"
"Oh wait, ya know what would be just as good? 6 burgers."
"Oh right! That Burger King thing! Ya know that craving I've had all day for pizza? It can SO easily be satisfied with 6 burgers!"
"Thank you, Burger King!"

It's like a giant Burger Buddy!
The 6 pack thing grosses me out coz it looks like a burger caterpillar. But I loved the smaller Siamese Twin Burger Buddies from maybe 15 years back.

It's like Krystal or White Castle, but totally phoned in.

OR!
"Hey guys! What should we all get for dinner??"
"Lets get Burger King!"
"Burger King? Then we'd all have to order individual burgers! Thats just stupid. What's wrong with you, Scott??"
"No wait! They have a 6 burger combo! JUST LIKE A PIZZA!!"
"Sweet! Scott, you rock!!"

@Silly McFakeypants:

Now THAT is the America my family and I always wanted to be a part of!

(seriously, loved that vid)

If they want to compete with pizza, they need to start offering home delivery!

@Neecy: or pizza!

Isn't BK the "Have It Your Way" company?

If so, can you imagine the screwups possible when people try ordering that thing with 6 different combinations inside?

BK used to have "little burgers" awhile ago called "Burger Bundles". They were like really tasty versions of White Castle burgers.

This is just weird. And burgers are nothing like pizza... even if you connect them.

I would eat this. It would be much easier to hide this evidence over what pizza leaves behind (box) for my pre-dinner on the dl meals.

There's just something fascinating about miniature food.

DO WANT

I never eat Burger King burgers, so maybe their meat has special properties I'm not aware of, but I can't envision the "tearing off" part without seeing people firmly clamping their hands on the part of the burger they're leaving behind.

I want it. I would chop it into the requisite fragments with a ninja sword and gorge myself in my lair...

Actually, this could also compete with those romantic spaghetti dinners. Instead of both slurping down the same noodle, you could both end up chomping on the same burger which would still lead to that romantic ending.

@Kajj: Agreed.

When I want a pizza, I get a pizza. When I want a burger, I get a burger. I am not going to want a pizza but get this burger instead because I can tear it apart like a pizza. This is silly. It will fail.

As long as that Creepy king/pedophile in the commercials isn't involved, I'm okay with this.

My question is, why is this in the UK but not here in the US? I want my multi-point megaburger, and I want it now! (and my way too, please.)

@sgodun: I'm sorry, that sounds like you knocked White Castle. I disagree. They were like crappy versions of delicious White Castle goodness.

/me is thousands of miles from the nearest White Castle.

mmmmmmmmmmm, burger king

I would eat it. I would eat half the damn thing. Anything that comes in "slices" will be devoured.

I think when they say "compete with pizza," they are referring to that communal moment when six hands grab a slice and suddenly the pizza is dispersed and everyone's eating. This will never compete with pizza on taste. But I can see it competing with pizza on social occasion.

@Jaysyn: Not in the UK, over there the value meals are around 5-6 pounds sterling and pizza is 11 pounds. The true streghnth of the pound isnt felt until it travels.

That looks G-DAMN delicious!

oh and as an aside, thanks for fixing the site, it's been bugging out the last couple of days.

@Michael Belisle:

I just moved from Kentuck to Texas. I miss White Castle. However, I don't miss White Castle farts/dumps. You know what I'm talking about. Foul. Horrid, like Satan's cornhole.

But the burgers are sooooo good. I was loving the french onion specials.

Ick. I like Burger King's burgers, but this is just . . . . ick.

@Dead Wrestlers Society: I remember those, though I remember them being called Burger Bundles. They were good. They came three to a box.

Ah, to be a fly on the wall at the corporate meeting that produced this gem.

@Pithlit: Hey, you learn something new everyday.

In 1987, Burger King offered a set of miniature burgers called Burger Bundles. The Burger Bundles were sold in a set of three or six, much like White Castle or Krystal burgers, but served in a single package. The sandwich was reintroduced in a slightly different format called Burger Buddies. Instead of three or six miniature hamburger patties, it had a single number eight shaped patty that was served on a pair of co-joined buns. The sandwich was sold for 99¢ and was designed to be torn into two smaller sandwiches.

I don't know about you guys, but my local BKs already serve these.. they're called "Burger Shots" and they are pretty much "sliders" or "whitecastle size".. it's probably just about the same equivalent of a double whopper.

I've had them, and they're alright.

I'm in Connecticut.

Yuck. Also: disgusting.

Are you kidding? I personally know at least 2 people who will eat that all by themselves and not even bother allowing themselves the dignity of tearing it apart. They'll eat it while they hold it like length-wise, like a harmonica.

@homerjay: lol. Yes, that's exactly how the conversations will go.

It reminds me a bit too much of a pregnant dog's dugs.
