\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

The Burger King Four Cheese Whopper could have been great. In fact, it should have been great.<\/p>\n

Everybody knows that four is the best number. There are four blind mice, four good Indiana Jones movies and four continents on the planet. So when Burger King unveiled a Four Cheese Whopper, everybody in the country yelled \u201cFour!\u201d at the same time like we were playing golf for the fourth time that day. We needed this, BK. Imagine it: Buzzfeed lists of \u201cWhich of the Four Cheeses are you?\u201d or umm, \u201cBuzzfeed ranks the Four Cheese Whopper cheeses in order,\u201d or \u201cBuzzfeed remembers 2014, the year of the Four Cheese Whopper.\u201d Buzzfeed is pretty 2013, but the Four Cheese Whopper could have swung this year for it.<\/p>\n

However. You dropped the ball, Mr. King. You dropped the ball so hard. You dropped the ball harder than the Burger King Kid\u2019s Club playing a game of pickup. Because at some point you\u2019re going to have to pass the basketball to the nerd or the shaggy dog. Oh yeah, and there was that dude with a Virtual Boy strapped onto his face with a rubber band. What a dummy. Did Kid Vid invent Google Glass? Now I hate him even more.<\/p>\n

Burger King, you dropped the ball harder than I wish I could drop Google Glass onto the ground. Let\u2019s quote your own description of the Four Cheese Whopper. It says it has \u201cmelted American cheese, a creamy three cheese blend, cheddar sauce.\u201d That sounds like five cheeses. And any idiot knows that five is better than four. Five is the best number, duh. There are five Golden Girls, five signs on the zodiac, and five sodas in a six-pack. You could have named it the Five Cheese Whopper and you completely missed the boat.<\/p>\n

To be honest, though, you could have named it the One Cheese Whopper. Here\u2019s the deal with this thing. There\u2019s cheese on it. A lot of it. And it all tastes the same. It\u2019s one note, and processed to hell. I could see the lady making it for me at the restaurant, and she stacked a few slices, then sprinkled some shavings, and then squirted a glop from a bottle. So much work, so many delivery systems, but it all ends up tasting exactly the same. <\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

It pretty much tastes like half a stack of Kraft Singles on top of a Whopper. And, yes, I know, that sounds awesome. But that\u2019s because I\u2019m a fatty obsessed with comic excess. It\u2019s actually not awesome. To top it off, it\u2019s that congealed cheese that\u2019s barely melted so it has the texture of a frozen cheeseburger heated for 3\/4 of the thawing time.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

The cheese mutes any acidity in the burger toppings and also overthrows the charbroiled taste in the patty. King Burger also removed the pickles and the ketchup, which tips the entire fromage-agaggedon into cheese overdrive. There are onions, tomatoes and pieces of lettuce in there, but they resemble those people who die climbing Mount Everest and then freeze there like statues for future climbers to see, if instead of snow, cheese fell from the sky.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a>

Regular Whopper with Cheese (left) Four Cheese Whopper (right)<\/center><\/i><\/p>\n

The bun is a Whopper bun. It\u2019s got sesame seeds. It also gets a little lost in the cheese mix. By comparison, the Whopper with cheese costs a few cents less and the ingredients all manage to find themselves onto the consumer\u2019s palate, which, considering this is Your Majesty\u2019s Burger Joint, may be considered a worse thing. Seems like this item would be labeled \u201cfor cheese-connoisseurs only,\u201d but if this is the quality of cheese you like, you\u2019re probably the kind of person who eats string cheese without stringing it: Do what you want, but that ain\u2019t my style. <\/p>\n

This burger appeals to about zero people. But you know what the silver lining is? Zero is by far the best number. Zero days of Christmas, the concept of pi starts with a zero, and there is a zero chance of this bit getting old.<\/p>\n
