In the picture, it looks like the burger is about to tumble out. How is that less messy than holding it securely in your hands/napkin/wrapper?

?! Cutting hamburgers in half is for wimps! If you can’t handle the entire beastie in one chunk then you shouldn’t be ordering one in the first place.

Can it double as a rib spreader?

I cannot see the high-end clients using this product, it cheapens the whole experience. I do, however, see an opportunity for this product used by children–less mess for parents to clean up.

Oh – I know – just wrap your burger in a ShamWow! instead. LOL!

I have to disagree about Billy Mays hawking this item, it would probably cut into Oxy Clean sales too much

I actually looked closer, hoping this could solve a problem of mine:

1) I <3 Whattaburger Bacon Cheese Doubles

2) There is no napkin on earth that can stand up to that

3) I eat in the care entirely too much

Sadly, this thing doesn’t help that at all. I second the useless vote.

In NZ you get these as recyclable disposable ‘doofers’ from Burger Fuel.. I think they are great, but wouldn’t buy one..

Get a pelican bib, assuming they make them in adult sizes; that way you can eat the escaped food….

Thanks to MR for posting the link to The Vortex site; I visited there in the 90’s and was most entertained by their “Rules”. I am now free to recycle the menu I brought back to the UK and stored in a box that has moved to 3 houses…!

So, after you’ve eaten two-thirds of the burger how do you eat the rest?

There should be a Unitasker Museum!

I could have used one of these last Friday at Chili’s. I did cut the burger in half but still made a mess.

Haha, is it sad that I kind of like this idea? I hate eating burgers where everything just falls out of it. I’m not talking condiments, I’m talking lettuce and tomato and whatnot!

That being said, I certainly wouldn’t buy one, but I wouldn’t mind trying one! Until then, I’ll settle for eating my burger out of a wrapper, which contains the mess well enough.

for people who just can’t figure out the intricacies of napkins?

Unnecessary, but still…it might help if you order the Coronary Bypass Burger at The Vortex in Atlanta. That thing is a monster! http://www.thevortexbarandgrill.com/

Paper napkin does the job. This contraption looks grotesque. What’s the hygiene situation on this thing?
