Why is it that just because someone comes up with an idea that a mind like yours was too feeble to come up with on own, or that is just plain crazy/pointless, it's an indicator of "too much" free time? Ever heard of coming up with crazy ideas like this in class when you're bored to tears because the professor has to define culture for a solid month to a bunch of idiots like you because they actually studied, since they are not preoccupied with "having a life" over studying--something they are PAYING AN INSTITUTION THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR TO MAKE THEM DO!

Ugh, that is SO gross!! It doesn't even sound like it would even taste good. Who eats corn dogs, pastrami, and onion rings all at the same time? And covered in feta cheese, no less? This kind of sandwich would be just the thing if you weren't going to eat for 2 weeks, but the kind of person that WOULD eat it would have probably just consumed several beers and/or did it on a bet.

I agree with the both of you. Too much time and yuck it would taste gross! I wander if it cost him $30 to make it? Should of spent the money on a subway instead! Peace all! T

Surprisingly, there is no mayo!

Mmm it makes me hungry! but i would like it with two spoons of mayo for other extra 700 cals, of course i will enjoy it with a can of Diet Coke i don't want to be a fat boy.
(sounds funny? think on it when you see people on Mcdonald's ask for a double quarter pounder meal with a Diet Coke)

It would be interesting though to eat it, and then watch those `love handles` (as we say in the UK), miraculously appear!

Mmm, it looks tasty if you haven't eaten for 2 weeks, but even then I'll think twice before eating it. And speaking of eating, do you know who was the "lucky guy" who ate that sandwich after all?

You could cut the calorie content by more than half just by not using the canola oil. Who puts 154 Tbsp of canola oil on a sandwich anyway?

Heh. This is what bored college kids do.

How in the world can there be almost 10 cups of Canola Oil on this sandwich?? Sounds impossible to me.

Reply
Jan

bear, I don't think the ingredients can hold 10 cups of oil either. 3 cups, ok. 10 cups? That is like half a jar. Most of it would have spilled out.

the conola oil was not directly put onto the sandwich... that is what he choose to fry everything in... thats why he used 10 cups... it didnt go directly onto the sandwich!!! ;-)

Damn...... Thats a good looking sandwich.... (I wanna make one....)

heart attack on a plate anyone?
yes?

Kamikaze, but when you deep fry stuff in 10 cups of all, not all 10 cups are absorbed. He is overestimating the calories.

Reply
okay

not only is he overestimating the calories, by a lot, but if he really did use that much canola oil - and he claims that he fried the food in it, well, that means he has to subtract those cals from the other foods. Like - the mushrooms...he's already accounted for the oil in his cal estimates. he can't double count them at the end in his canola oil total. not to mention he's overestimated the cheese cals too. and oregano. and a whole bunch of other stuff.

the guy is an idiot.

dood did you eat that yet.. and how many days did it take. fat ass

i wonder if anyone actually ate it in the end...

Steph, the guy who made it ate it. That was the whole point of this silly stunt.

bacon and cheese? well hes free to eat it , but if that was where I live he'd get a punch in his face , hard.


p.s
stupid angry dieters on this site ,
low fat + Atkins and all thoose marathons must have shrunk your brains due to lack of cholesterol to rebuild brain tissue.

and no I'm not a fat mofo I'm someone who deadlifts :)

Reply
Jan

Leo, I'm pretty sure anyone on Atkins is getting plenty of cholesterol, with all the eggs, cream, steak, bacon, etc.

Some of you commentors are so self-righteous. Go to the damn site. It's some skinny kid doing it for laughs. Why does everyone assume he's some stuipid, fat-ass? He said he ate it, and that it was "freakin awesome." So basically, I think you should all stop taking crap so seriously (especially on the internets), and then die in a fire.

Reply
yeah right

this is stupid. anyone can throw a bunch of high calorie, fat foods between two pieces of bread and call it a sandwich. i could take my feces and put it between two pieces of bread and charge $47 for it. would someone write an article about it?

Diet Coke indirectly makes more fatty cells with its ingredients...

The more you know!

Best.

Sandwich.

Ever.

And he spent 47 on it. And ate the entire thing. This man is a god among humans.

i hope he didnt have a heartattack, but he did cuz he ate the whole damn thing.

CarefreeSoul

I don't really know WHAT to say. It's funny, but oh sweet jesus he ate it ALL by himself. I would've probably shared it with my friends and only would have eaten about 500 calories worth of that heart attack on a bun. But sheesh, I'd have to bring a lot of friends. I wonder what inspired him to make such a random thing? I doubt he just woke up and decided to make the most fattening thing known to man. Probably just a dare.

If anyone ate that, they would drop dead!

wait. oregano is NOT that calorie-dense. 4.5 grams of oregano has 14 calories, so 50 grams of it would have 155.56 calories. NOT 438 calories.

so some of these numbers may be inflated. not that it makes this thing any less horrific.

You mean like with Elvis vs. the Fool's Gold (42,000 calories)?

It was actually the trans fat that killed him. The trans fat found in one jar's worth of cheap peanut butter.

Legend has it, that just prior to his death, Elivs would pack away two of these heart-stopping sandwiches each day.

Reply
Spectra

Ugh, Kailash, I just looked at that link and that sandwich looks absolutely disgusting. How could anyone EAT that?? PB and jelly and bacon???? Nasty. If I was going to give myself a heart attack, I'd do it with something like pasta carbonara or fettucine alfredo...you know, something that actually tastes halfway decent.
