It's been suspected for a very long time, but now it's official. The Big Mac isn't so big after all. Coming in with a width of up to 20% less than its Central American counterpart, the Aussie Big Mac is also the lightest of the bunch. Maybe they should rename it "Not So Big Mac for Health Conscious Australians"?

Friends, I'm going to need your help on this one! I've tried to get in touch with these guys for photos but I've had no luck. If you live near Burton in the UK, and feel like a tasty snack, why not go and try Burton's Biggest Butty? (and take some pics for the rest of us of course!) Known as the Sarnie Schwarzenegger, this breakfast butty sounds awesome. This huge sandwich consists of a staggering eight slices of bacon, four sausages, three eggs, four portions of mushrooms, half a pound of cheese and a whole can of baked beans on a huge unsliced white loaf. The monster snack cost £9.50 Now that's something we all need to see!

Take me out to the ball game.... then take me off to the hospital. In a bid to get more people to their local league, the West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team in the Tigers chain have given fans the ultimate game day snack, the Fifth Third Burger. Weighing in at 1.67 pounds, this burger has grilled ground beef, topped with — this is not a drill, folks — nacho cheese, chili, salsa, Fritos (despite what's in the photo), tomato and lettuce served on a 8-inch sesame seed bun. You won't be running too quickly to third base after this one! Oh, and if you can manage to eat the whole thing, you get a free t-shirt!

Taking that first bite of an opening day hot dog is a rite any (non-vegetarian) baseball fan relishes. Now, imagine yourself to be a fan of the West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team in the Tigers chain. They mock your "hot dog with everything" and instead present an entree that makes heart patients skip a beat and cholesterol-watchers go blind:

Always been jealous of cartoon cavemen and their succulently perfect meat rolls on convenient bone handles? Japan, as is their hyper-capitalistic wont, has satisfied yet another consumer desire you weren't quite sure you had.
