(Come on. 1,420 calories, 107 grams of fat, 229 milligrams of cholesterol, and 2,651 milligrams of sodium would scare many people and make vegans faint.)<\/p>\n<p>Addicted Impulsive Buy reader <a href=\"http:\/\/ordinaryyam.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aymie<\/a> asked if I was going to review it, however I told her the previously mentioned reasons why I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. <\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later, another addicted Impulsive Buy reader, Aymie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mom (Who REALLY is Aymie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mom) told me about her husband\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s review of the Monster Thickburger.  <\/p>\n<p>I was instantly jealous of him. <\/p>\n<p>Sure the best way I could try to outdo him was to combine two McDonald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Big Macs, but if I did that I would still be short 200 calories, 40 grams of fat, 70 milligrams of cholesterol, and 600 milligrams of sodium.  <\/p>\n<p>You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve won this battle TheShu, but if McDonald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ever creates the Quadruple Big Mac, the war will be mine.  Muahaha.  Muahaha.<\/p>\n<p>Well to help me overcome the sadness of not eating a Hardee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Monster Thickburger, I decided to try the new Jack in the Box Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwich, with its chicken breast, Swiss cheese, and two slices of ham, in between toasted sourdough bread.  (Sacre blu!  I know, you French-heads.  It should be <i>cordon blu<\/i>.  Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t yell at me, yell at Jack.)<\/p>\n<p>Despite the plastic looking Swiss cheese (check out the picture), it was pretty good.  Sure it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ONLY got 555 calories, a paltry 28 grams of fat, a tiny 100 milligrams of cholesterol, and a modest 1335 milligrams of sodium, but I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one of the tastier fast food chicken sandwiches I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sure better than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if Hardee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s will come out with a Monster Chicken Thickburger.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Jack in the Box Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwich<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $5.79 (small combo)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  No heart attack.
