If you mentioned that their combo meals costs the exact same as ordering everything separately, that would be germane. :-)

I really like the toasted bun. But I think my fascination has more to do with the old SNL skits with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd calling out "cheeseburger, cheeseburger, fries, fries, fries, coke, coke, pepsi, no, we don't have no pepsi." Those were so funny. I remember that every time I go to In-n-Out Burger and order a Cheeseburger with fries.

A triplexdouble seems to be a better idea though. Sean,

I wondered about that. A triplexdouble seems to be a better idea though.

The kicker is that you can "double the beef" for $0.99, which means that a double hamburger combo is $4.98. That means that a slice of cheese is $1.01 in this configuration. I think not (-: Kicker #2 is that it's rarely worth your time to explain to the minimum-wage cashier that you want a "single with double the beef", and not actually a double.

If I remember correctly, a small became the old medium, the new medium was the old large, the new large was a biggie -- and the new biggie size was just humongous! The fast food world disgusts me sometimes. Recently, Wendy’s changed all their drink sizes..
