How Many Calories Are in Your Fast Food?
Most of us have at some point stood in line, gazing blankly at a fast food chain’s menu, trying to figure out what to order. And it’s hard not to experience a little twinge when you see those FDA-mandated calorie counts, which suffice to make the decision that much more paralyzing!
This BuzzFeed video takes a stab at putting a few of those numbers in perspective. At Burger King? Here’s its A.1. Ultimate Cheeseburger sized up right alongside its Triple Whopper. (Hint: The name reveals which burger clobbers the other, calories-wise.)
Just popped over to Jack in the Box? Well, if you’ve tacked an Oreo Cookie Shake on to your Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger lunch order, your milkshake is the one bringing all the calories to the house.
Don’t worry, Taco Bell, Subway, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s fans: There are dishes for you to consider here, too, from the Bell’s XXL Grilled Stuft Beef Burrito to the Bacon Clubhouse Crispy Chicken Sandwich at Mickey D’s.
The great irony of this video? Man, were we hungry after watching it.
