  1. Anyone here who’s hungry for a XL Chili Cheese Burger King burger?

    - I had one earlier today, and now I only want one more...

      Dang, that sounds great, but for me, so much heartburn.  I tried their Taco, and I ate two of them, they were surprisingly tasty and everything someone could want from traditional fast food fare.  However, they stayed with me for about a full day in the form of burps and discomfort.  

       

      Yet, reading your post, I find myself tempted.

      And if I’m not mistaken its supposed to be quite healthy!!

       

      Norway has excellent, top-notch salmon.

      I had to verify that the X-Long Chili Cheese burger served in Norway is the same one as is served in Sweden. You can't take that for granted, even with a franchise like this.

       

      This particular burger is 77 NOK ($8.50) in Norway, or 69 SEK ($7.60) in Sweden. Frankly I would have expected an even greater difference. In Denmark it is 59 DKK ($9.45). Burger King in Finland doesn't have this particular burger on the menu.

       

      What is even more interesting is the nutrient information and how it differs radically for each country, despite supposedly being the exact same product.

       

      Norway: 814 kcal, 53 g fat, 44 g protein, 34 g carbohydrates

      Sweden: 721 kcal, 43 g fat, 36 g protein, 41 g carbohydrates

      Denmark: 710 kcal, 43 g fat, 36 g protein, 40 g carbohydrates

      Germany: 657 kcal, 39 g fat, 33 g protein, 41 g carbohydrates

       

      From this we can read that Norway probably has the most amount of cheese since it is highest in fat and protein content, but much less bread than the other countries. Sweden and Denmark have almost the same burger. The German one must have less beef or cheese since it is lowest on both fat and protein, but the same thickness of the bread as in Sweden.
