There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have now to face the query: how much cheese is there? too plenty of cheese? For those who imagine Burger King in Thailand, the limit (allegedly) doesn’t exist.
The fast-food giant caused a stir this week with its latest offering, “The Real Cheeseburger,” a burger with no meat or spices and a heart-stopping amount of American cheese (20 slices to be exact) placed inside a sesame seed bun.
It sounds almost too disgusting to be true. But Burger King insisted in a social media post on Sunday – when the “burger” landed on the menu – that the monstrosity is indeed warranted.
“This is just not a joke. This is absolutely happening.” Facebook. “An actual cheeseburger is stuffed with flavor for many who love cheese.”
Launched at a reduced price of 109 Thai baht ($4.70), The Real Cheeseburger quickly went viral, with dozens of individuals flocking to Burger King to try it after seeing it on social media.
In a single branch in Bangkok CNN reported that a shift manager was overheard saying that the product was so popular that the outlet needed to stop taking orders for delivery as a way to have enough stock for patrons who enter the restaurant.

But a viral sensation, a delicious meal, doesn’t. Most of the purchasers who tried the burger after which shared their thoughts online had difficulty swallowing greater than a number of bites.
In a damning review of The Real Cheeseburger for Asian lifestylereporter Eric E Surbano admitted that two bites “was all I could stand before I threw it within the bin.”
“It sucks… It’s awful. It’s really not shocking that it’s bad. It’s literally a burger bun, 20 slices of cheese and a burger bun. There is not any sauce,” he wrote.
“It was as disgusting as you’d expect: dryness, shock to the digestive system, and literally a thousand calories of unnecessary processed cheese. That is one other thing: for something called a “Real Cheeseburger,” there’s nothing real about any cheese here.”
Surbano added that the experience made him wonder “why did Burger King consider it beyond the viral aspect.”
“Perhaps they simply have a surplus of cheese. Perhaps they simply hate us.

The fast food giant – which is the international equivalent of Australia’s Hungry Jacks – caused a stir this week with its latest offering, ‘The Real Cheeseburger’, a meatless and condiment-free burger and a cardiac arrest-inducing amount of American cheese (20 slices to be exact) packed right into a sesame bun.

Popular Thai travel guide and blogger Richard Barrow also admitted on Twitter that he “could hardly eat even half of that ‘burger’.”
“The trend in #Thailand is so as to add cheese to literally all the pieces. Now Burger King has joined Real Cheese Burger. Though I believe they forgot the meat,” he wrote.
“I really like cheese, but I could hardly even eat half of this ‘burger’. Perhaps I should grill the opposite half? What do you think that?”
Those that tried the burger at the shop had nothing higher to say.
One customer, IT engineer Im Jeepetch, told CNN he tried the burger after seeing it on social media. Despite being a self-confessed cheese freak, “it was a bit an excessive amount of.”
“I could only finish half of it. That is an insane amount of cheese added to 1 burger. Food is nice when all the pieces is in the proper combination.”
Jeepetch said she wouldn’t order The Real Cheeseburger again.
One other client, skincare entrepreneur Alisa Chuengviroj, agreed, telling CNN it was “too intense.”
“Perhaps I won’t try again. I like a number of slices of cheese in my burger, but not an excessive amount of.
