Imagine a chocolate eclair that was 12 ft high? Or maybe climbing a Mt Rum Ball? Digging out a watermelon seed with a crowbar? These are just some of the photos in this set. These guys placed tiny models into food, then got the Macro lens out and took photos. Awesome

The rules are simple. If you can eat by yourself one extra extra large pie, you get a free T-shirt! Easy!

The Ram Husky Burger Challenge consists of a 1lb beef patty burger with all the fixin's. These guys decided to give it a crack after a chat in class. Sounds like a lot of fun, except they didn't quite cook it enough! (and they still did it anyway!)

One day, probably during one of the classes we weren't paying attention in, Chris proposed that we should all go to the Ram in U-Village and try to eat a Husky Burger, which consists of a 1 lbs. beef patty and all the fixins'. Well, unlike most of our ideas, we actually did this one. Little did we know what lied in store...

You might have seen some "salad bar hacking" in an earlier article, but back in 2004, "Oldtasty" thought he'd give salad bar construction a crack. This is his story...

These images made the rounds of the office in February of 2004 when I was working in Beijing, and were the source of much amusement among my Chinese coworkers. When one's only allowed one trip to the Pizza Hut salad bar, creative salad architecture ensues.

Looks like McDonalds is making a bigger Big Mac for the World Cup! No pics yet, but will be sure to post as soon as possible...(photo here is not of actual World Cup Burger). If you're in the UK and can send me a pic, please let me know in the forums!

Fast food major McDonalds is hoping to cash in on the Football fever as it prepares to launch the World cup burger. The special burger will be available for six weeks and will be around 40 % larger than it's biggest burger the Big Mac. So after relishing it you will be left with 667 additional calories which is equivalent of 9 fun sized Snickers bars. The move has prompted outrage from health campaigners with Liberal Democrat MP Steve Webb orgainising a petition against the burger.

With all this speculation about who's got the biggest burger, I thought I'd post this. It's a chart from the guys at Footmarket.com, the World's largest burger comparison chart! (hopefully they'll update it soon with the Fuddruckers burger!)
