Great Moments in Fat History: The McGangBang

In the grease-stained annals of fat history, very few food items exemplify necessity-as-mother-of-invention quite like The McGangBang.

You see, for the truly devoted, even an historic economic downturn is no reason to board-up the feed trough.

A real saturated fat sycophant will find a way to eat more with less.

The Corpulence Express (passenger service to Adult Onset Diabetesville) will not be derailed.

Not on their watch.

So with $2.16 and a handful of Krackle Bar wrappers in their pocket, they slowly mount their freshly-charged fat scooter and set their course for fatty spendthrift Mecca: the McDonald's Value Menu.

What they come up with is equal parts disgusting and Girl Talk mash-up innovation:



The McGangBang.

An entire McChicken Sandwich slid in-between the all-beef patties of a double cheeseburger.

800 calories. 39 grams of fat. Again, all for $2.16 and whatever dignity you have left.

Truly, another Great Moment in Fat History.

Oh. My. God. Yep, that about all I can muster up. Well, maybe this: Why?

Seems like a lot of bun redundancy.

Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ on a cruise ship.

*I* wouldn't even eat that. And that's saying something.
