It's Burger King's job to sell food that is desirable. I am not going to make my own burger if I am busy, but in this case making the stupid 20 slice processed cheese burger would be easier and cheaper than going to Burger Kings as it takes no effort, much like the Burger Kings marketing team put into producing this turd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KannikaP Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just been in Makro where a pack of 10 'cheese' slices is Bht 169. How can Burgerking put 20 @ Bht 338 on a 'burger' @ Bht 109. Is that called a loss leader, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them when I make a grilled cheese sandwich on my homemade sourdough bread. As well as letting you Yanks know that 'cheese' is always made with milk, and that they are a pasteurised 'prepared' cheese product, it also says 60 calories per slice, so 20 on a bread roll will be 1200 calories plus the bread and mayo, or about half what an adult should eat per day.

Even if Makro and Burgerking buy for 50% of Bht 169, = Bht 85, and sell for Bht 109, there's not much profit there. Especially as I reckon that NO-ONE will go a second time for such rubbish. And as a previous member posted, many Thais are lactose intolerant. (Wonder why they give babies milk?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macro sell 81 slice packs of processed 'cheese' for for 380THB on their web site. I'm sure Burger King will get a discount on that.

Not seeing that cheese thing selling very good, anywhere. Especially after the sale. Quite the bargain if buying and telling them you want it 'cold'. That's a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches at the house for 109 baht ???? I use 3 slices in mine, though much better American 'cheese'.

Eating 2 or 3 at a session, 2 or 3 times a day for weeks on end probably will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply lush. I have a variation on that as my fave. One buttered slice of decent bread with Marmite on it, the other with Nittaya Chili in oil paste (nam prik pow) and some good cheddar in the middle. Note, REAL real cheese, not factory gunk.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Each slice of this kind of pasteurized cheese product contains about 11% of the recommended daily amount of saturated fat, and 10% of the recommended daily amount of sodium. So with this burger and its supposed 20 slices of pasteurized cheese singles, that means that the cheese alone in each one of these burgers, by itself, has at least DOUBLE the recommended daily allowance of of saturated fat and sodium. Not to mention 1,000 calories just in the cheese alone. That's a dietary health disaster. https://www.super1foods.com/sm/pickup/rsid/600/product/kraft-cheese-product-pasteurized-prepared-american-id-00021000604913 Edited July 13, 2023 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make scrambled cheesy eggs using it. I put a slice on my breakfast sandwich I make with eggs and bacon. .sometimes must just go with the flow.
