Minor League teams always have to be creative to stand out, and the West Michigan Whitecaps will be taking away this year’s award for Most Creative Ballpark Food Item.

Creative, however, does not mean appetizing.

Meet the Fifth Third Burger, sponsored by the bank Fifth Third, whose stock rose 11.74% today. Wall Street apparently loves giant hamburgers.

The Fifth Third Burger contains: 5/3 lbs (1.66) of beef with lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, chili and Fritos.

In case you were curious just how unhealthy this burger is, the total is around 4889 calories. But you can probably cut that down to 4789 if you skip the mayo.

They may call it the Fifth Third Burger, but the Fifth Turd Burger might be more appropriate given the number of times those who attempt to eat it will end up in the bathroom.

Upon hearing about this monstrosity, one thing comes to mind: Taco Town from Saturday Night Live.

Sure, the Fifth Third Burger might be huge & comes with a t-shirt if you finish it off, but does it come in its own commemorative tote bag? That’s what I thought.
