Slaughter an animal and melt an iceberg with one drive-thru

When my SUV arrived at the Burger King drive-thru this evening I was presented with a dilemma. BK has this new dollar menu with a dozen or so different items. The problem was #1, what do I want? #2 If I liked what I got, would I want more?

Of course the Global BBQ way to solve this problem was to order 2 regular hamburgers, 2 Rodeo Cheeseburgers and 2 Whopper Juniors. I figured that I would take a bite or two of each one, eat the burgers that I liked and simply toss the others into a dumpster.

With the help of Burger King, I managed to accomplish a couple of great things:
  1. Together we contributed to the slaughter and consumption of an animal for food.
  2. The amount of energy expelled during the grilling process could have powered a small nation for approximately six minutes.
  3. I am responsible for almost 25lbs of green house gases being released into the atmosphere
  4. I am responsible for 35 cubic inches of waste which will end up in a local landfill
  5. I've confirmed the fact that cheese, onion rings and barbecue sauce really don't mix. And that the Rodeo cheeseburger was a terrible idea.
..and for the record, 4 of the six burgers were thrown in the trash.
