We all know the song, “Take me out to the ballgame”. Well, after eating the new Fifth Third Burger at the ballpark of the West Michigan Whitecaps, you may need to be hauled out of the ballgame on a forklift. Have you heard about this new monstrous burger? 

It seems that the baseball stadium has a new sponsor, Fifth Third Bank. To come up with a cute promotion during the upcoming season, the team decides on a new hamburger. But…this is not just any old burger on a bun.

The colossal Fifth Third Burger starts out with 1.66 pounds of ground beef. Added to it is lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, chili and Fritos. The cost for this dieting nightmare? A cool $20.

The amazing part of this burger is its nutritional value, or lack thereof. Total calories come in just under 5,000! That’s right, 5,000 calories. You also get 299 grams of fat to go with it. Add in 744 mg of cholesterol, 10,887 mg of sodium and 354 carbs and you have a burger that has to have Weight Watchers screaming right now.

That isn’t all to the story though. The burger is supposedly designed to be for a family of 4, but if you can eat it all by yourself before the end of the third inning, you win a Fifth Third t-shirt. Hoping that is going to be in a jumbo x-large size by the way.

This burger actually costs more than tickets to the baseball game itself. You can get a lawn seat at the game for only $5, 4 times less than the cost of the burger.

This gives a whole new meaning to going out to the ballgame for peanuts and crackerjacks. What will they think of next?
