Fast Food Hall of Shame: Hardee's Double Bacon Cheese Monster Thickburger

"Holy Cow!" is an understatement with this Hardee's offering. Made up of two one-third pound beef patties, three pieces of cheese, four strips of bacon on a buttered sesame seed bun with mayonnaise, this brute will challenge the digestive tracts of the best of fast food junkies.

Check out the anti-Nutrition Facts:

Calories 1300 (more than 1/2 of the DAILY Recommended Intake for Calories)
Fat 96g (this is like eating a a stick-plus or 8 tablespoons of butter)
Saturated Fat 40g (arteries must shiver when they see this coming down the food tube. We're talking 8 teaspoons of pure saturated fat!)
Cholesterol 205mg (two-thirds the DAILY value for cholesterol!)
Protein 55g
Carbs 51g (equivalent to nearly 1 1/2 cup cooked pasta)
Sugars 8g (hey...not bad, but a large soda will get that back in check!)
Sodium 2110mg (nearly matches the DAILY value for sodium which is 2500mg!)

Ingredient Lowlights: Ingredient listing could not be found on the Hardee's site, but I think it is fairly obvious that the Thickburger is oozing with funky stuff!

Save your six bucks and spike in blood triglycerides and take a pass on the Double Bacon Cheese Monster Thickburger!
