Yes, the latest assault on America's waistline comes in the form of Friendly's recently launched Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt. Move over, Double Down, there's a new "something with far more calories than bread as a bun" sandwich in town.
Friendly's gastronomical innovation is not without precedent. The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt appears to be inspired by similar "Fatty Melts" and "Chubby Melts" that have been served in the South for a few years now, as well as
the Midwest.

Probably the opposite effect. I could see shitting like a maniac after eating one of those.

They are running ads for this thing in Boston $5 for the whole mess with a drink. I think you will need more than one drink to choke this mess down.

That's going to be how they really make the money, the extra drinks.

Everyone has video on their cell-phones. We could upload member videos to the TMR You-tube page, best time wins a prize. I might have problems getting a sponsor. Or maybe not.
