Only in America. A US fast food chain is set to unveil this monster burger - which contains NINE beef patties. The Triple Triple contains 1,979 calories, and features nine slices of cheese, as well as lettuce and tomatoes.
The $12.99 USD sandwich will launch at all Jake's Wayback Burgers locations in the States on March 1. It was originally launched as a limited edition item. But after selling over 100 towering burgers in the space of three weeks at one New York location, the firm decided to roll it out nationwide. "It's crazy. We had one guy eat it in less than two minutes," said Gillian Maffeo, a spokesperson for the company. By comparison, a Big Mac contains 550 calories, according to McDonald's. And a Burger King Whopper clocks in at 630 calories, according to the chain. PLEASE CREDIT PAUL JOHNSON/SPLASH/WAYBACKBURGERS
