Burger King’s new product in Thailand is generating quite a stir: a burger with no meat and a colossal amount of cheese.
This Monday, the Thai operator of the fast food restaurant debuted the “real cheeseburger,” a bun stuffed with up to 20 pieces of American cheese.
The item debuted on Thai menus on Sunday at a discounted price of 109 Thai baht ($3.1), down from the typical price of 380 baht ($10.9). It rapidly went viral on Thai social media, with many TikTok users recording videos of themselves enjoying the novel sandwich.
“This isn’t a joke. “This is for real,” Burger King claimed on social media on Sunday.
Im Jeepetch, a 25-year-old IT engineer, admitted that she liked cheese but that “this was a bit too much.”
“I could only finish half of it,” she admitted as she wiped her lips with a tissue. “This is a ridiculous amount of cheese in one burger.” When everything is in balance, food is delicious.”
Im went on to say that she wouldn’t have the gooey dish again: “Other burgers are already good.” “I think I’ll stick with my double cheese angus.”
Another customer agreed, labeling the cheeseburger “too intense.”
