UPI – An unusual menu item offered in a burger franchise in Thailand is going viral online after the fast food chain confirmed the “real cheeseburger” features 20 slices of American cheese – and no meat.
The “real cheeseburger” launched on Monday at the franchise’s locations across Thailand, and the fast food chain took to social media to explain: “This is no joke. This is for real.”
The 20-slice cheese sandwich sells for USD3.10, far less than the USD10.90 prize tag for a more traditional cheeseburger with beef included.
The unusual menu item went viral online, and at least one location in Bangkok had to suspend delivery orders for the sandwich to ensure there was enough stock for in-store customers.
Customer Im Jeepetch, 25, told CNN she likes cheese on her burgers, but “this was a bit too much”.
“I could only finish half of it,” she said.
“This is an insane amount of cheese added into one burger. Food is good when things are at the right combination.”
