This is more like an ultimate grilled cheese (without the grilled bun) than a cheeseburger. But I think it still has a burger patty. Or is it two? The cheese covers the evidence.

'Too much': Burger King's new offering in Thailand has no meat and 20 slices of cheese
Burger King is causing a stir in Thailand with its new offering: a burger with no meat and a jaw-dropping amount of cheese.

This week, the Thai operator of the fast food chain introduced what it calls the “real cheeseburger,” a bun filled with as many as 20 slices of American cheese.

The item launched on Thai menus Sunday, at a reduced price of 109 Thai baht ($3.1), compared with the usual price of 380 baht ($10.9). It quickly went viral on social media in Thailand, with many users on TikTok posting videos of them trying the new sandwich.
“This is no joke. This is for real,” Burger King said in a Sunday social media post.
Oh, I'm not laughing.




So why 20 slices? Why not 18, or 22? How many additional slices do I get if I order one with extra cheese?

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong about the burger patties. It's a pure cheese sandwich.

Maybe they don’t sell processed cheese in Thailand grocery stores, and that’s the only way you can get some?

But it's all mostly a melted blob by the time one gets in their hands.

And I'd consider not getting American cheese slices in grocery stores to be considered a postiive thing.

Sorry, but 'Merka typically comes with a burger patty under the cheese.

Tillamook cheese is American, and it tastes good.

It looks better than some of the McD and BK posters depicted WTAF1 “burgers” in Hong Kong.

wtf?

Why do people just assume everyone else in the world knows what their "acronyms" mean?

Sorry. This just reminded me of something I've been wanting to ask for years and never got a chance to.

That’s a good question. Are we lazy, or myopic, or both? Will think on it.
Great answer. When I sat back down and looked again, it slapped me in the face. d'oh :facepalm:
