Ahaa, time for something exciting. For those unfamiliar with the In-N-Out Burger chain, this update will require some explanation. Here we go.

In-N-Out features three items on the burger menu: the hamburger, the cheeseburger, and the "double-double," which is aptly named as it features 1) double meat, and 2) double cheese. This is a fairly popular order.

More interestingly, In-N-Out is also famous for its selection of secret menu items, which, just as it sounds, are food items In-N-Out will serve you despite their absence from the posted menu. One of these items is a variation on the double-double, the 4x4 (read as "four by four"). This burger has four times the meat and four times the cheese of a normal cheeseburger. You can adjust this one as much as you want and order things like a 3x3, 5x5, or even a 2x5 if you're feeling lopsided.

So, imagine this: a 20x20.

Yes, for a limited time (I'm assuming) you can see photos of this monstrosity (and its consumer) by going here and then entering in 3.jpg through 53.jpg. For convenience, here are the highlights:

The receipt - G-rated. Note the total cost.
The 20x20 - The entire thing, still in the box. Somewhat unsettling.
Partially consumed - Definitely not for the faint of heart. I liken it to an autopsy.

I warned you about the last one!!!!!
