Heart Attack – the secret ingredient
The American Heart Association says it believes air pollution can cause heart attacks.
Could be.
I might be going out on a limb, but I think they should also consider the impact of fast food “secret menus” - items of sometimes urban legend levels that can apparently be obtained if you’re an in-the-know connoisseur at some America’s finest restaurants.
Some of the culprits:
· Arby’s Wet Fries – The name might imply something dirty and exciting (giggity-giggity-goo) but in reality it’s just hot fries smothered in cheese sauce.
· Burger King’s Suicide Burger – This aptly named selection is a large burger including four meat patties, four slices of cheese, bacon and special sauce. Because one just wouldn’t be enough.
· In-N-Out’s Animal Style Fries – Cheese, spread, grilled onions, and pickles piled high on top of fries. Although I guess this and anything else on its “secret” menu is not really a secret given that the “secret” menu is posted on the company’s website. http://www.in-n-out.com/secretmenu.asp
· In-N-Out’s Fries Light – Fries cooked less, they will be more tender and oily. Yum, I wonder if they have the same option for their burgers.
· KFC’s Poutine – This is a Canadian favorite that includes French fries, fried cheese curds, and gravy layered together. If you think that’s thunder from the north, you’re wrong. It’s the arteries of our hockey-loving neighbors slamming shut.
· McDonald’s McGangBang – This is a double cheeseburger with a chicken patty in between the two beef patties. Handy if you can’t decide between chicken or beef.
· McDonald’s Land, Sea, and Air Burger – The Land, Sea and Air burger has a beef patty, chicken patty, and fillet-o-fish patty all piled onto a bun. Even better if you’re indecisive in nature.
· McDonald’s Monster Mac – A big Mac composed of eight (yes, you read that correctly) meat patties. The Value Meal comes with a defibrillator and organ donor card.
· Potbelly’s Fireball – A meatball sandwich with chili on top. It’s like several meals in one because you’ll taste it all day.
· Wendy’s Barnyard – A spicy chicken sandwich with ham, bacon and beef – each layer separated by cheese. Moooo.

Reminds me of the time I went to McDonalds in college, it was late on Sunday evening and they ran out of patties for Big Macs. So they gave me Quarter Pounder patties on a Big Mac. I still dream of that bad boy to this day. I think I went back to the house and put on a couple of more slices of cheese for good measure. Good times.
