Is there such a thing as too much cheese? Burger King in Thailand is banking on that answer being NO.  The internet is exploding since news of "The Real Cheeseburger" came out because of some obvious reasons. Before we give you the details of "The Real Cheeseburger," allow us to warn you: it sounds particularly disgusting and revolting.  But there are several people out there who believe cheese is life. So in this case, this "Real Cheeseburger" is for YOU.

"The Real Cheeseburger" consists of: a burger with no meat or condiments, and a heart attack inducing amount of American cheese (20 slices, to be exact) all smack dab inside a sesame seed bun. According to the official Facebook page of Burger King Thailand:

Not for fun, this is for real!
Real cheeseburger from Burger King! 🍔
Carrying up to 20 slices of American cheese!!! 🧀
Price is 109 only. - (from normal 380. -)
The cheeseburgers scream! Those who press Like admin will be grumpy if they don't order.
Exclusive. First day only buy at the branch.
Delivery people tomorrow all over the country!
That price equates to about $4.70 American dollars.  Reactions to the "Real Cheeseburger" have been hilarious to say the least. There have been people who have actually bought and tried it. April Sonata on Facebook posted pictures of herself eating The Real Cheeseburger and told me it was "not bad." When asked her if she'd eat another one, she told me "But it look like high calorie and high sodium." "Must top up some ketchup." She also added that it's "cheap."
April also sent some pictures of herself eating it. It definitely looks like something that wouldn't do very well but who knows? Maybe this "Real Cheeseburger" will become a thing here in the United States soon. As of now, it is only available in Thailand.

Did you know that there are around 17,000 restaurants in Massachusetts? Of those, just shy of 6,000 are chain restaurants with well over half of those being fast food options. (And still in my house we often can't figure out anything for dinner. LOL)

Gambling.com decided to find out: in Massachusetts, out of all of those fast food restaurants, which are the most popular? They determined this by analyzing phrases on Google Trends like “fast food chain,” “fast food chain order online,” “fast food chain near me,” “fast food chain menu,” “takeout cuisine takeout,” “takeout cuisine near me,” and “takeout cuisine delivery.” After they crunched, chewed, and spit this data out the following rankings were born. Massachusetts' 12 Most Popular Fast Food Chains. I bet you can guess #1. I bet you can't guess all 3 of the Top 3.
