Has anyone else had one yet?

I gave the Double Stacker a try tonight, and I was unsatisfied.  On the commerical, they make it look like real big, so I was expecting a Whopper size burger, but it's this really small thing

YAY FOR FALSE ADVERTISING O0 :(

That's not false advertising.  Who goes to BK expecting a burger as big as what they see on TV?  They show huge products to entice people to buy them.  False advertising would be telling you something is safe and is not a hazard to children, knowing full well that it is.

My degree is in advertising, so I learned to spot what is false advertising and what is just fluff.

What you'd expect? I mean, didn't you see the midgets promoting it?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

my friend had a quadruple :o, it was pretty big

That reminds me of the Wendy's ad that featured 'customized' burgers. It had electronic music and had the patties go up and down like sound bars on some stereo systems. Even my sister was convinced that Wendy's was selling four and five patty burgers. I was disappointed. :(

Which will shortly be followed up by a quadruple bypass. :P

I'll pass on these and make my own tasty ground turkey burgers.

No, thank you! http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/14/puke.gif

This does not sound the least bit appetizing to me. If I wanna clog my arteries, I can do it some other way.

The Stacker is a pale imitation of the 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 (or whatever-by-whatever) that you can get at In-N-Out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out

Go there and repent of your sins with at least a 5x5.

Or a 20x20, if you've had professional training...

That is that 20x20 sh*t.  How anyone eats this is beyond me.

OMG that looks like the ѕhit I just took  :o

Well, that should sufficiently turn anyone off from eating that monstrosity.

O RLY? 

By the way, pay no attention to the voice in the background saying "Launch strike force, we have confirmed identity of GoatsBANNINATION

I've never eaten a burger with more than two patties, let alone four!

Holy sheesh, whistle, that is gargantuan!  ;D

I like burgers, but that just made me feel slightly nauseous... :-\\

I don't think I've eaten a burger with more than one patty.

totally, it's just heart attack food..and while it may tempting it's best avoided unless you want fluffy arteries

LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

With all this ado about the BK Stacker - I had to find out for myself. (Or as close to myself as I could - I do not like Burger King burgers AT ALL.)

A friend of mine and I went to BK today. He ordered a stacker and when it came he started laughing and took it back to the counter. His 3 patties weren't even neatly stacked - they were barely inside the bun, the cheese was burnt and the size.... fit in the palm of his hand. He asked before ordering if it would be enough to feed the appetite of someone who hadn't ate all day - the lady assured him it would. It reminded me of the tiny burgers you get at Krystals - and for you Canadians, the closest thing to help describe what we got is the burger bundles that BK used to offer!

When he took it back to them he made them refund his money, we left and he went and got a Big Mac at McDonald's! ;)

Why do people think that it's some huge sandwich?

Because of the way they portray it in commercials!

That's called advertising.  You don't think that by putting on a Victoria's Secret bra you'll have boobs like Heidi Klum, do you?  They wanted to trump up the fact that these sandwiches can have up to 4 pieces of meat and cheese, so they make these giant, larger than life hamburgers and have them assembled by midgets.  No one in their right mind should think they're getting some huge hamburger handed to them.  They're playing up the size of the burger in terms of the number of hamburger patties, not its actual size relevant to other hamburgers they offer.  It's bigger than a Whopper due to # of patties, but that's it.


Companies do this in ad campaigns all the time.

I am well aware of what ad campaigns are meant to do - I am not ignorant nor did I need research it through google.

I was merely relating what happened today at Burger King.
That's called my experience.

Oh I didn't research anything through Google.  That's just what I came up with from watching the commercials.  In one of my Advertising classes I took in college, we talked about ad campaigns that make the product seem more than what it really is.  We came up with a couple examples of companies that inflate the image of the product to make it more attractive to people.  I don't think this is any different.  I didn't say you were ignorant either. 

I've been to BK myself since that sandwich came out and I've heard people make the same comments to the people behind the counter; they think the sandwich is supposed to be bigger than they get.

I've been to BK myself since that sandwich came out and I've heard people make the same comments to the people behind the counter; they think the sandwich is supposed to be bigger than they get.  I just thought it was funny that people didn't get the intentional inflation in the commercials.  I mean, they have midgets stacking the sandwiches!

Obviously commercials are designed to lure a person into buying products.
Commercials convince people they will look 10x better or feel better, or lose weight or gain muscle - they are strategically placed in a market that is designed to attract their target audience. Obviously, a lot of these commercials also come with disclaimers. Imagine Burger King using a disclaimer that says "may not be actual size" or "looks better on tv because it is made from plastic"!!!

But when a reasonable person is led to believe that the product is a certain way only to find out they were fooled by the three P's, you would undoubtedly have to understand their outcry. Personally, I think its hilarious! I went in there today knowing full well that it wasn't going to be a huge sandwich..... so I just enjoyed the backlash from my friend.

Oh sure.  I saw one little boy start crying because the sandwich was too small.  I think that BK flopped on the ad campaign because most other companies will make it really, REALLY obvious that the commercial is all fluff, but BK didn't go down that road.  I wouldn't call it false advertising or deception, but it's just another sh*tty ad campaign they've done.
