      It is even it’s covered in American cheese which adds no flavor and increases calories by a lot and it’s on a bun made of American wheat, which increases calories by a lot and it’s covered in sugary ketchup and it comes with fried potatoes and a large soda made out of corn syrup.

      Turns a normal amount of calories into 2k calories when you add in all the crap.

        American cheese definitely adds flavor; that’s the whole point of it. Ketchup is meh. Fries are tasty, but admittedly quite bad for you. Diet sodas are a thing.

          I find that American cheese takes away flavor from the burger. It’s very very bland. To me, it’s just not worth the extra calories for the taste.
