Two co-workers bite the big one

Today, I was witness to an event that.... well, I'll be shaking it off for a long time.

Two of my co-workers downed the new quad stacker from Burger King.

Yes folks - 4 patties of meat alternating with cheese topped with bacon, and just to, I don't know - 'tone down' the meat, topped with a dollop of special sauce. Mmmmm mmmm. Just makes your arteries clog thinking about it.

They had taken a bite or two by the time I got to the table. One was already half-finished. A side view of the half-eaten product showed nothing but 2-3 inches of meat. Unhampered by anything that might accidentally counter-act the cholesterol (like tomatoes, lettuce, etc.. ), they kept powering through them although they had to take breaks periodically to catch their breath. Yes, breathing was becoming a problem. I'm sure sweating anything but hamburger grease will be too.

So Jason, the first guy finishes. Victory!(although there is some discussion that it was only because he didn't get secret sauce) He achieved his goal anyway, if that was to have a slight tightness in the chest, and the fact his eyes looked like they were swimming in hamburger juices. When asked if it was good he responded hollowly "I don't know". He did change it a bit later after digesting the first percentage. It was horrible, but good. Okay then. Excellent marketing I'm sure.

After waiting a respectful period of time (in other words - until the two could move again), we decided to leave before any veins could begin congealing or someone decided to go for another round.
