America, you are awesome. First came the Bacon Explosion, and now the Internet's most gluttonous gastronomes point us to the Fifth Third Burger.
It's being served by the West Michigan Whitecaps (they play at the Fifth Third Ballpark). Here's the scoop via CNBC's SportsBiz:
It's 5/3 lbs (1.66) of beef with lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, chili and Fritos on an eight-inch sesame seed bun.
The team says it feeds one to four people and sells for $20, and if a person finishes the Fifth Third Burger in one sitting, the team will offer up a Fifth Third Burger T-shirt.
So there you have it: A nearly 5,000-calorie monstrosity (mmm.... monstrosity) is named for a bank that lost roughly 90 percent of its value in the last year. My stomach is growling even as my head wants to explode.
