Since KFC introduced the Double Down earlier this year, fast food chains are tripping over themselves to slap together as many of their limited menu items as possible. In the process they’re churning out some pretty disturbing food-like substances.

You can add the Grilled Cheese Burger Melt from the Friendly’s restaurant chain to the growing list of WTFood items. This monster packs 1,500 calories and 97 grams of fat, but I guess that’s what happens when you sell three sandwiches as one (at least it’s two-thirds vegetarian!).

Help Grist raise $25,000 by September 30 to further advance our climate reporting

Friendly’s, KFC, and IHOP still have nothing on SNL’s “Taco Town,” but they’re getting close. No, that wasn’t a challenge.

Grist thanks its sponsors. Become one.
