You have to go to a minor league baseball ground in Michigan in the US (where else?) to get it though.  The West Michigan Whitecaps are offering fans a behemoth dubbed the Fifth Third Burger, named after the team’s stadium and the meal’s five beef patties, which each weigh 136 grams.  It is smothered with chilli, salsa, sour cream and a dollop of melted nacho-style cheese – topped off with Frito chips, lettuce, tomato and five slices of American cheese and laid out in a bun made with 454 grams of dough.  Only $US20.

Now for the health warning – it contains nearly 300 grams of fat, 744 milligrams of cholesterol and more than 10,000 milligrams of sodium.

I actually think, leaving aside the gross size of the thing, it probably would taste quite ok.
