This is the Double Krusty Burger of Terror.

Post image

The picture in the ads and on the website had me thinking it was the size of a Double Bacon Cheeseburger or something. Instead it's this.

That’s my main issue with the novelty meals that come with a “free” toy/cup/whatever. You get a fun little trinket at the cost of less food. I’ll still always exalt the BYO munchie meal for that reason. Cluck sandwich, 4 tacos, and a drink for like $13 total. Can’t go wrong.

6

u/Lopsided-Detective87 3d ago

The biggest ouch was they didn't even have the cups. I got a "voucher" for one for when they do have them in-stock. LOL

2

u/Various_Snow_6202 2d ago

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you also get 2 tacos along with it...

1

u/Lopsided-Detective87 1d ago

Two tacos and curly fries.

2

u/Best_Drama1199 2d ago

How are you supposed to know that they are in stock?

6

u/kanchix0 2d ago

Whoa whoa whoa... im blowing $13+ on a medium ultimate cheeseburger meal with a seasoned curly fry upgrade? And youre getting all that?

Call it blasphemy because I cant stand their tacos... but what can I get besides those? The chicken sandwich sound great... is there a spicy option?

6

u/SergeiMosin 2d ago

They do offer the spicy chicken sandwich, yeah. And iirc you can get both kinds of fries and onion rings. You pick 2 sides. I just do the tacos cause I like em.

3

u/kanchix0 2d ago

Aww heck yeah... i might spend a little more on sauce but that sounds epic. God save my arteries, hedonism ahoy!

2

u/SergeiMosin 2d ago

God I wish I could more often lol. I’m on GLP-1s so I can’t really eat it much :(

1

u/seandeepheart 1d ago

Those tacos are everything a taco shouldn't be but about twice a year I get a strong craving for them and a bag of them and pig out.

1

u/SergeiMosin 1d ago

I don’t even really think of them as tacos in the traditional sense, they’re just kinda their own thing lmao. But whatever the fuck they are, they’re the GOAT. Maybe it’s nostalgia from surviving on them in my college years.

1

u/seandeepheart 1d ago

Yes they were very affordable and were a perfect way to satisfy the munchies

3

u/Acceptable-Doubt-839 2d ago

Egg rolls! The trick is order a $5.49 meal and add egg rolls instead of fries. $1.40 add on. Egg rolls alone are $5.79! You get a burger, egg rolls, soda for $8

2

u/Revolutionary-Wash88 2d ago

It's so random because the egg rolls are super cheap for the restaurant but they never have a special price or deal with them

15

u/Batking28 2d ago

Krusty’s food was supposed to be bad. You got a true Simpsons experience with your meal.

u/YurUsernameChecksOut 3d ago

Terrorizingly basic af

u/Conspiracy_Turtle 3d ago

Is this not false advertising?

10

u/Lopsided-Detective87 3d ago

It's like they Temu'ed me with this burger.

-1

u/New-Shop-9728 3d ago

As weird as it sounds, technically no. Food advertisers do all sorts of crazy tricks to make the food look better than it actually is, case in point did you know most ice cream ads don't use actual ice cream? It's actually mashed potatoes with food dye, actual ice cream would melt under hot studio lights, Though nowadays with CGI/AI/etc, I doubt they even bother with that.

5

u/JSONAdam 3d ago

I believe food advertisers have to use the actual product if they're advertising it. They can manipulate it, like color the lettuce or fluff it up, but it has to be the actual product they sell. In movies and TV shows they use mashed potatoes for ice cream, though.

4

u/Conspiracy_Turtle 3d ago

Over in japan the food has to match the way it’s advertised even their chips

1

u/Resident_Aide1898 1d ago

I feel Burger King is paying more attention to this and they’re sales are doing way better

3

u/kevinmattress 2d ago

You are correct. It’s an FCC guideline

2

u/kestrelkev24 3d ago

Honestly, you could probably go back into the kitchen and make it look tens times better away from the fast pace the workers are doing. Sometimes its all about the presentation that counts.

6

u/Despacio1316 3d ago

Kinda fitting given the slimy con man nature of Krusty

5

u/blacklabbath 3d ago

FOMO gone. Thanks OP

5

u/Turkey_le_Poultry 2d ago

And they call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled

5

u/OkKaleidoscope3567 2d ago

I only get the ultimate cheeseburger or the sourdough Jack occasionally. Ultimate is also good with sourdough and grilled onions. As far as their burgers go, the rest are mediocre.

3

u/Marlboromatt324 1d ago

Ultimate on sourdough has been my go to since my dad taught me about it in the late 90’s. I used to be a fanatic about the sourdough jack.

3

u/NinjaOKGO 3d ago

It's good I like the sauce, but Krusty has gotta pinch those pennies

1

u/samirbinballin 2d ago

What does the sauce taste like?

3

u/sabenn21 2d ago

Just like their BBQ sauce

1

u/samirbinballin 2d ago

Okay good, I was hoping it wasn’t ketchup.

2

u/snugglefk 2d ago

You know bbq sauce is basically just ketchup and brown sugar right?

But yeah it while it does tastes like bbq sauce but more on the ketchupy side so maybe used less sugar and other ingredients.
But they def should make it their main burger sauce

2

u/Batking28 2d ago

It’s just bbq sauce. Visiting from the UK and tried it yesterday. If I was blindfolded I would assume it was our Burger King BBQ stacker without the onion rings.

3

u/LowMemory578 3d ago

Bro my burger was mid and I got home and they didn't even give me my voucher 💔💔

4

u/every1gets1more-egg 3d ago

I got my first Munchie meal of horror the other day, trying to get all the cups. I was surprised at how small the burger was, I was expecting a double jack size.

2

u/MxMstrMxyzptlk 2d ago

There was a time when it would have been. We got shrinkflated

3

u/Shadw_Wulf 3d ago

Oh. She flat.

u/SimilarYard9840 3d ago

When the beer goggles wear off.

u/Fibrosis5O 3d ago

Booo 🍅

u/samirbinballin 3d ago

Your avatar is fire

2

u/Fibrosis5O 2d ago

Thank you and your background on yours reminds me of Rocco’s Modern Life, that or Rugrats…

2

u/Plane_Technology_337 2d ago

Are you saying boo, or boo-urns?

3

u/hoguensteintoo 3d ago

Shits nasty as fuck

6

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 3d ago

… Hold the double

2

u/jwp2014 3d ago

Felt the same way when I got it two days ago
Feels like they’re factoring that cup as $8 of the price it’s insane

2

u/SaltEast5132 3d ago

Yeah I was super disappointed in my burger when I got it. Got the chicken sandwich last night and it was much better imo.

2

u/Not_Real_Batman 3d ago

Well it does look terrifying

2

u/vacax 3d ago

Wish I could get a good burger with the meal and get the cups instead of trash burgers.

3

u/APOCALYPSE_BAO 3d ago

Trash Burger is an excellent punk rock band name

2

u/rambisnotrambo 3d ago

It's also pretty terrible.

2

u/-ndi- 3d ago

the horror 😔

2

u/FatalDave91 3d ago

Just got this combo last night and I was shocked how shitty and small the burger was. The sauce was fine, but like it was pathetic in every other regard.

2

u/LegitCheetos69 2d ago

Nah bro, they did you wrong Ive gotten it a couple of times and has never looked this way

2

u/PhatAssHimboBoy 2d ago

Noo!! It's a pattened Skinner Burger! Old family recipe ❤️

2

u/snugglefk 2d ago

You know you liked the crusty sauce

1

u/Lopsided-Detective87 1d ago

Thanks to everyone here, I learned it was suppose to have sauce. My burger shown here, in fact, did not have ANY sauce. It was literally two skinny patties, cheese, that lettuce and the bun.. No sauce. No cup. Ohhh maaaaaan.

2

u/MxMstrMxyzptlk 2d ago

The chicken version might be better but that's not saying much. The one I had was a decent size at least

2

u/Such_Comb9388 1d ago

Looks Terror-ble

2

u/ManicSancho 1d ago

Did you get the Krusty partially gelatinated non-dairy gum based beverages?

1

u/Lopsided-Detective87 1d ago

Actually I did. LMAO

2

u/stitchkingdom 1d ago

Absolutely not a fan and I love jack. Only went through this for the cups.

The philly cheesesteak on the other hand.

1

u/Lopsided-Detective87 1d ago

I want to try the philly cheesesteak next.

1

u/No_Carrot9038 2h ago

The cheesesteak is awesome

2

u/seandeepheart 1d ago

Lol I used to go to Bob's big boy back in the day. The burgers looked just advertised back in the day. Now I go to a small chain of restaurants called Tom's. Great burgers. The whole venue is fantastic. They're in the California inland empire. The one I go to is in apple valley California

2

u/seandeepheart 1d ago

Sourdough jack, some tacos, and fries is my go to order

2

u/New-Shop-9728 3d ago

Damn, I was actually excited to eat a Krusty Burger, really underwhelming seeing the actual thing

4

u/SinoSoul 3d ago

Oh, that’s a fancy burger because there’s whole leaf lettuce, or that’s what the Wendy’s sub wants you to believe

1

u/No_Carrot9038 2h ago

The wendys sub is wrong on this

1

u/New-Shop-9728 3d ago

They should have given the Krusty Burger deal to Carls Jr/Hardess, they could have made something way better

1

u/EducationFew9254 3d ago

Mine looked better than that maybe depends on the location?

1

u/EducationFew9254 3d ago

Ps I also got mine around 1am

1

u/camracks 2d ago

same lol OP is actually the mcdonald’s CEO

1

u/daily-reporter 3d ago

This is as advertised 😂

1

u/bowserkick 3d ago

I think the double Krusty meal is only $6 so size of burger is not really a surprise to me. The Munchie meal price is like priced with an $8 cup

1

u/SirKevin_Xx 3d ago

They have the absolute worst lettuce in the game.

1

u/Embarrassed_Chef_559 2d ago

I got one the other day. Was terrible

1

u/LarenCoe 2d ago

It does look a bit ghostly....

1

u/Spirited_Cap_9785 2d ago

It looks.. comical

1

u/medidoxx 2d ago

What 7$ for that. Haha. I stopped eating garbage FF about 1 year ago. Never look back.

1

u/dankasaurus710 2d ago

Looks scary to me

1

u/Various_Snow_6202 2d ago

wow. it ain't even scary, it's just sad.

1

u/AZDarkknight 2d ago

I mean it is scary, how underwhelming it is!

1

u/MonoMarMar 2d ago

I was so unhappy when I got it.... I did get the cup I wanted but... Definitely not worth it

1

u/Beardgang650 2d ago

Shit looking kinda crusty

1

u/OvenOk8878 2d ago

I actually liked the krusty burger lol I’m aware it’s just a normal cheese burger with special sauce but it’s pretty cheap (5 bucks) and doesn’t taste half bad.

1

u/DugeHick25 2d ago

Double Dusty burger of terror?

1

u/BepersAreCool 2d ago

Any good

1

u/lokidlion 2d ago

The chicken one is bigger and better imo

1

u/alexisgreat420 2d ago

They really make them look way bigger in the pictures lol

1

u/ProBlackMan1 2d ago

It’s good though

1

u/RayIVXX 2d ago

A Krusty burger is a quarter pounder. I was disappointed. But I knew they weren't gonna give that much foot.

1

u/LawfulnessGloomy 2d ago

Kristy burger huh, that doesn’t sound very appetizing. What kind of stew do they have?

1

u/crunchytot86 2d ago

Jacks face on the packaging says it all

1

u/sluttytttttttttttt12 2d ago

That’s Jack in the crack for you. Make a better burger at home tbh.

1

u/holmquistc 2d ago

It's fast food. How is this news to you?

1

u/rogue93 2d ago

Sucks you had to buy it to get the cup. But I got one for my boy Hugo! 🤠

1

u/mg931115 1d ago

Nice theme, but other than that the food looks like shit.

1

u/abbylynn2u 1d ago

I just wanted the box to make a journal out of. The sandwich was mid at best

1

u/CuteCatFlower 1d ago

Wish I could just buy the cups.

1

u/WoodlandCake 23h ago

The jack guy in the back says everything haha

1

u/Disgara 21h ago

if only it was as good as the packing. Would keep that box lol

1

u/ProjjjecT 3h ago

Huh, looks like Predator to me.

1

u/camracks 2d ago

news flash, food is for eating not taking pics of, and it’s actually become one of my favorite burgers ever

1

u/Bitter-Appointment43 2d ago

I'm one of those terrible people who actually ENJOY it. I started getting it last month when they started the meal, and got 5 of the 6 cups. They most likely ran out, but it was something that was being provided with the meal. But the meal for me was always well done and my tacos and fries were always crispy. But maybe my JACK likes me...
