Is there really a target market for this abomination? (TikTok screencap)

Reminds me of 'why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?'
- I'm 100% positive this isn't real
  
  I'm not
- Nobody have free health care in the world

  CTRL+F "free"
  
  Here's the thing, it's already paid for from your taxes. Some countries choose to feed the military machine where a few billion lost here and there isn't an issue. However, when it cones to healthcare, it's an insurmountable cost.
  Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don't have to think about it. It's there. How much it costs? Doesn't matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.
  Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.
  But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won't get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn't have preexisting conditions otherwise you're on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.
  
  ...?
  
  Don’t bother engaging with this person. They are a bad-faith Nazi.

Teenage stoner me would have destroyed that
- Teenage stoner me wouldn't have had $30 dollars to spend on that... if i did I was buying another g.
  
  That's why I loved cheap schwag. Get a stuffed full quart ziplock for $60.
- I'm not a stoner, and I am actually really into fitness, but I want to make an exception and be fitten dis burger in my mouff
- Drunk me had no self control and would demolish it after a big night
- Teenage me had access to $1 Junior bacon cheeseburgers. I have ordered 10+ on multiple occasions.
  Paying $30 for one burger would not have happened.

Apparently the Dave's Triple only existed to make the Dave's Double seem more reasonable. And it worked
- the t-rex exists to make the velociraptor reasonable

Kids, the internet tells me that I can get 10 regular Wendy's cheeseburgers for $27.90
So it a $2 upcharge for them to use less bread and pay the marketing team.
- Your 10 cheeseburgers don't come with a sick shirt though.
  
  That's why I would buy it
  
  Does it come in anything smaller than an XL?

Is there really a target market for this abomination?
Given Heart Attack Grill exists, I'd say so
- Man I wish I had time to get there when I went to Vegas.

So it's not t-rex meat?

This is one of the most american things I have ever seen

Go Big Or Go Extinct

- I didn't even see the word "or" at first

This has to be a clever anti-consumerist guerilla art piece, right? Please?
- I could also imagine a local burger joint doing this as a novelty item, but not Wendy's
  
  A local joint in my area did something like this last year. A five dollar burger with two patties, and one dollar per extra patty, no limit.
  I'm sure in practice there would have been a limit, but we got a lot of burger for twenty dollars that day. It came skewered and served on its side in what I'm guessing was a submarine sandwich tray.

I don't understand what the problem is

Where in middle america are you?
also, I guess wendys is trying to give the heart attack grill a run for their money.
- Not even close. The I think it was called triple bypass burger is in an entire different league.

Heart surgeons

Let's be real: how would one eat this? It's got to be fork and knife and that's a burger line that shouldn't be crossed in my book.
- Oh wait: how do you even transport this?
  
  With your stomach, then through your intestines, out your anus and then into a toilet (hopefully)... if you live that long
  
  A trash bag, where it should remain.
- If you want to be real, each patty is about 1/3" thick after cooking. That's only 3 inches of meat, a joke that people need to get on immediately.
  There's probably fancy burgers with onion rings on them that are the same size or larger in your hands.
  
  only 3 inches of meat, a joke
  ...nobody? Nobody is going to jump on this one? Fine.
  That's what she said.
- Came here to ask this, it's definitely a knife and fork situation ..
- Have y'all never had fork and knife burgers before?
- Germans eat burgers with a fork and knife

WTF?! The marketing department at Wendy's is trying really hard.

My partner and I would get that and buy a pack of buns and have burgers for a week
- $30/9 is $3.33 for just 1 cooked patty and cheese. So each of these DIY burgers of yours is maybe $3.50 -$4
  How much is just a single a Wendy's cheeseburger? Edit: looks like under $3
  So marketing scam confirmed.
  
  Ok but free t-shirt
  
  Sheeeeeit imma just to snag some m33t
  
  Bulk savings. Buy once, only drive once, no further transport for a week; no waiting for food to cook (just reheat), no prep time or cooking time. 4am and hungry, burger. Noon, burger. Evening, burger. Have a pet that is running low on food? Burger.
  And they say "time is money" so actually it's like -$3 per burger once you do the math. Galaxy brain ain't got shit on this.

unhinges jaws come to Papa

that many patties and no bacon? what am I, some kind of peasant? pfft

Is this safe for my pet T-Rex to eat? I don't know if it's too much sodium.
- Its fast food, so no.
  
  It will help them stay active by being fast as fuck boiiiiii

A regular Wendy's meal prob close to $20

Calling BeardMeetsFood on YT: A snack for you!
Do they offer cheesecake at Wendys?

deer fuck I want it
but I know wendy's sucks and I'm going to a local place to get a better burger soon anyway, but just LOOK AT IT

Anti-shitpost
- Well, the shit comes after you eat it, obviously.

I'm currently planning a night out with friends where we plan to eat an abomination like this as the "fun thing before we go drinking". Mind that this is not the US, so half this size is the worst we could find.
- Hey it is actually pretty cool you're planning to eat before drinking. I hope you also have plans for after but good to not start on empty stomachs!

Super size that removed, I got a defibrillator on standby.

I mean, back in 2004 a guy bought a 100x100 from In-n-Out. (100 patties, 100 slices of cheese.)
