Friendly's Stares Down KFC, Presents Hamburger with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for Buns

It has come to be that the highest and best use of the internet is the presentation and discussion of completely outrageous fattening foods.  Thickburgers, Double-downs, Doughnut-bacon-cheeseburgers, Pasta bread bowls, etc.  Not being one to rock the boat, I'm keeping the tradition alive by presenting Friendly's response to the popular new question, "What gross thing can we replace bread with in a sandwich?"  Their answer: two separate grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ok.  Doesn't sound that crazy.  Doesn't look that crazy.

However, according to Consumerist, this guy packs a wallop.  On your life expectancy.  Like, every bite covers up the sound of the grim reaper shuffling towards you.  Here are your details:

1500 Calories
870 Fat Calories
79g Total Fat
38g Saturated Fat
180g Cholesterol
2090mg Sodium
101g Carbs
9g Dietary Fiber
4g Sugar
54g Protein

Not record setting, but 75% of your daily caloric intake and over 150% of your daily fat intake is a high price to pay for something that is probably not going to taste very good (Friendly's should stick to ice cream).  It's like blowing your dietary wad on a triple cheeseburger from Burger King.  Nevermind the absolute damage done, the opportunity cost is too high.

Die eating something more delicious.
