@edcrowle: Frankly, I'd be real afraid if this concept was rolled out here in the USA, myself...

BK would probably make it 6 Whoppers or 6 Double Whoppers all fused together. Although I would change my my mind if BK could send some prototype Double Bacon Cheeseburger over to me, quickly!

Both places sell them as appetizers. When they bring the food out, if you look at the buns and the burger patties, it's really obvious that they were all once part of one big bun and one big patty. I think at Chilis they actually separate everything before cooking. At Fridays it was obvious that they cooked the big multi-burger first and then chopped it up.

I wonder if this will do better than when they offered basket meals that came with a roll and a salad and were delivered to your seat..lolz

sweet infant jesus no i would not try that, in fact my coworkers and i always make fun of businesses that push crap like that. no offense to the people that do or would order something like that or triple meat triple cheese or a baconater but man :(

im on the side of stuff like that should be made illegal.

it looks like they took a six pack of buns, said " i dont feel like tearting them apart, let someone else do it" and just slapped patties and condiments on them.

i could make them at home, and tell my kids "its just like burger king, but cheaper, now shut up and drink your home made pepsi"

Wow that takes me back also! Burger Buddies! Loved them at the time though!

Wrong. The "burger buddies" and "burger bundles" were two different things. The burger bundles came first (in a box), then the burger buddies came out sometime in 1990-1991 (2 stuck together and wrapped in paper).

Anyone remember BK's Pizza Firenza?

Seriously folks this isn't that hard to fathom. It's not something nasty, and not even really something outrageous either. I've had the 'Burger Shots' and guess what, they taste like hamburgers, surprising I know. Personally I like them because they are easy to eat when you're driving (once you cut them apart). I would even lay a little bet that the meat content in all six of them is not more more than a Double Whopper! I agree with a lot of opinions on Consumerist but this discussion is completely ridiculous. At least the calories on the menu discussion has some societal value.

(Really what would happen is I'd eat two mini-burgers, stick the rest in the fridge, come back for them later, and discover my husband had eaten them. But what would REALLY, HONESTLY happen is that one of us would go to the local Burger King, order, wait 30 minutes, get disgusted, and leave without food because it's the SLOWEST BURGER KING ON THE PLANET. And before that, it was the slowest Wendy's on the planet. And before that, it was the slowest (no-name-local-fast-food-chain) on the planet. I think they just keep hiring back the same crew no matter how many times they get driven out of business by being unable to serve food in a reasonable period of time.)

Seriously, this is totally American. Why start it in the UK? My husband would love these...

Oh dear, here we go again. Think I'm going to need a macro copy and paste option for this.

No, it's not, for those REALLY paying attention.

Now, the concept is returning, except it comes in a "pack" of 6. Same idea, except with a forced larger portion. Hmm.

I would so eat that. BK can do no wrong in my eyes.

I agree, except that I think burgers and pizza have equal food points. They are equals as far as quality, taste, ease of consumption, price of prep, cost of prep, and final cost. Basically, it's all fast food, and to me there is very little difference between eating pizza and burgers if I have no craving for one or the other (I generally crave pizza less than burgers due to "college"). Then again, I am easily bored with food.

@forgottenpassword:

correction... I assumed they were BIG burgers. Not small burgers connected together.

I remember BK doing this before (maybe 15-20 years ago). Offering six tiny burgers all connected together, to where you had to rip them apart to eat each tiny burger. But they were all the same kind of burger, not with differnt condiment/cheese configuration.

Interesting.

MMMMMMMMMMMM! Meatsa!

I can see it know. Morgan Spurlock gains the same amount of weight on the first movie in just a week versus a whole month for the first one.

It's like burger buddies, only it's a burger orgy.
I worked at BK during the Burger Buddy thing- if you wrapped them extra tight, they came out about the size of a quarter.

They should sell it with a popcorn-sized tub of fries and a scoop, so you can "portion them out" to the "other diners" you have waiting, uh... back in the car... they're ducking down though. You can't see 'em from here.

Heh, didn't Pizza Hut try something like this a year or so ago with 4 different smaller pizzas in one box?

I don't eat much fast food, but I'd be willing to give this little guy a try.

I would eat this and refuse to let other people help me. But something is strange about the large burger patty.. the more I think about it, the less I want to eat one.

Jeez, I am picturing a family of fatties tearing apart one of those in the car in the drive-thru.

Yeah White Castle is bizarre yet awesome.

This reminds me of the tiny hamburger 6-pack they used to have. They were pretty cool as a novelty. Dont think I'd eat the BIG version though.

Wow. If I were on grill and had to cook/make one of these, I'd quit inside of a week.

@jchabotte: Don't forget to play darts with your Cousin Roman later.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life.

Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

It's kinda gimmicky, but that doesn't make it disgusting.

Then I read the article. :(

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

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.

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

I'm in Connecticut.

@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.

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

@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.

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

That looks G-DAMN delicious!

@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.

mmmmmmmmmmm, burger king

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

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.)

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

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.

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.

There's just something fascinating about miniature food.

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

@Silly McFakeypants:

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

(seriously, loved that vid)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Yes I'd eat it.

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