Burger King Thailand’s 20-Slice Cheese Sandwich Is Sandwich Culture Run Amok | Eater

"A recently released sandwich stacks 20 slices of American cheese on a bun — an intentionally excessive stunt designed to provoke “have you seen this shit?” reactions and viral TikToks more than to provide a satisfying meal. It serves as a symbol of a wider trend toward camera-ready, overstuffed sandwiches that sacrifice balance and portability: uneven bites that are all meat or all veggies, protruding centers, structural failure when wrapped as leftovers, and the impracticality of fitting such towers into the average adult’s roughly 2-inch mouth. The critique is that these creations prioritize spectacle over the sandwich’s purpose as convenient, well-built comfort food, sometimes even requiring utensils and producing an awkward, uncomfortable eating experience — a dynamic that some commentators say is beginning to push a countertrend toward smaller, more manageable burgers." - Jaya Saxena
