It's only 2000 calories as well - if I want that, a packet of custard creams is cheaper, more portable, and probably nicer.
I think you mean two packets of custard creams.
You'd need around 400 grams of biscuit for 2,000 Calories and are likely to stop LONG before you've consumed the lot.
Do you reckon? I mean about the stopping bit... It'd have to Borbon Creams for me, though, please
Anyways, back onto the rediculous burger thing, I think it's not that it's new (pubs, bars and cafes all over the country have been offering "Gut Busters" for decades), it's just the marketing, on the back of Man Vs Food. TBH this one (the Hungry Horse one) has no appeal, as there is no callenge involved. You don't get it free if you finish it in X mintues, you don't get a T-shirt etc etc, so why bother. Plus it will probably be like all the other HH food, mass produced in some factory in Eastern Europe, to low standards reflected in the cost and be prepared by a spotty oik whose mum thinks he's going to be the next Gordon Ramsey when, really, the only thing he has remotely close to what GR can do is swear like a trooper with Tourettes.
Give me a real challenge, like the Cattlemen's Association's Steak challenge - 96oz in an hour...
