This month is the 40th anniversary of the Big Mac and what a better way for McDonald’s to celebrate than introducing a new artery clogging masterpiece. Just to give you an idea, the Double Pounder is the equivalent of more than 3 days' worth of fat for a grown man! It contains over 100 grams of fat and over 2,100 calories. That’s about the equivalent of 5 Pizza Hut deep-pan Hawaiian pizzas. Nutritionists are describing the double pounder as "obscene" and "a heart attack waiting to happen".
At about $18, it is not listed on the menu, nor under the nutritional information. However, that hasn’t stopped this burger from getting attention. In fact, it has developed a cult following. It’s become a challenge for teenagers after a video was posted online of a 17-year-old boy ploughing his way through the burger at a McDonald's restaurant. (I’ll spare you the video clip. Just trust me, it’s nauseating to even watch, let alone actually attempt to eat.)
McDonald’s is the kind of place that you can almost HEAR yourself getting fatter when they take your order. Now thanks to the Double Pounder, you can almost hear the Grim Reaper creeping in as your heart comes to an abrupt halt when you say "I’ll take a Double Pounder combo meal…and go ahead and Super-Size that."
