LEGO Food Stands Are Here To Improve Lunch Time

Food stands are as American as the burgers, fries and milkshakes peddled from within. And, at the time of this writing, there are few more popular hobbies in the U.S. than constructing stuff out of LEGOs.

Therefore, LEGO Food Stands make perfect sense. Brought to us by LEGO builder, FrostBricks, the project is part of LEGO ideas — which are fan-submitted sets that need votes to send them into production.

This makes these projects even more creative, as the builder uses existing sets to pitch a potential new one. Anyone can vote on these not-yet sets, by visiting LEGO ideas. Let’s make these happen, but life-size, as we’d all like to eat a burger in front of a giant LEGO burger.

McDonald’s Hamburger Straws Are A Thing Because Japan

Instagram @im_mmoe

Nobody can be sure why McDonald’s patrons in Japan are impaling their burgers onto their drinks with a straw. But they are, and it’s a new meme referred to as ‘drink x hamburger.’

Perhaps it’s to keep the burger in place while mobile. One-handed eating/drinking? Or maybe, just maybe, Japan likes when there are bits of burger floating around in their beverage. Either way, check it out and judge for yourself.

The Star Wars Burger Is Most Impressive

There may be no better way to celebrate Star Wars Day, than with a giant cheese-smothered burger. Bar Luca in Sydney, Australia wants to get the celebration started with a Star Wars Burger.

Titled Return of The Chedi, the cheeseburger contains American cheese, cheddar cheese sauce, kransky sausage and pickles, in-between a ‘blue-milk’ bun.

Besides the burger’s name and the space-themed bun, there isn’t much to tie the burger to Star Wars. Although, we could pretend that the burger is Grade A tauntaun meat, and that many Bothans died to bring you that cheese sauce. Happy Fourth!

The 100-lb Big Mac Is Even Bigger and Maccier Than The Original

bigger-mac

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Yeah, one-hundred pounds of it!!

The 100-lb Big Mac is brought to us by Epic Meal Time, who know a thing or two about excess. And, if you can get past watching the process of making a gallon of special sauce, the remaining 90-lbs should be easy.

Also of note… The creator of the Big Mac died within days of this video being created. Coincidence?

Cheese Explodes From This Burger And We’re Not Sure How To Feel About It

exploding-cheese-burger

There’s no denying that a burger is vastly improved when topped with cheese. However, when said cheese isn’t melted upon the patty, but rather delivered in a violent cheese explosion, there may be some mixed emotions.

Raw Material in New York City is making this Cheese Explosion Burger, by filling the top bun with a gooey cheese sauce. The anticipation of breaking the bun open is the fun part — as the diner cannot be sure if they’ll get a dribbler or a full-blown cheese volcano. Either way, the end result is a cheeseburger, so you have that going for you.
