M4 Super Sherman Sandwich

[Anonymous No.11837479]

All right, cu/ck/s.
I'm sure many of you know by now that McDonald's has had the ability to remotely order a burger through your phone for a while. You've probably used it a good bit yourselves because it means you don't have to talk to an actual cashier. However, there's a function in that app which few people use that lets you customize your burger, in a number of ways which people don't really think about.
I created this burger a few months ago while screwing around, and I've ordered it a few times since then. Not very often, because you'll see why. It's made with the Customize menu, and if this thread goes over well I might post some more of my experiments with this feature later. But, for now, I present: The M4 Super Sherman Sandwich, from McDonald's.

The name "M4 Super Sherman Sandwich" has a bit of reasoning behind it. The M stands for McDonald's. The 4 is because there's 4 patties of beef on this thing. Along with a bunch of other shit. Obviously, it's also a reference to the M4 Sherman tank, and specifically the Super Sherman.
The Super Sherman was an Israeli variant of the Sherman after the jews decided they were too cheap to pay for new tanks and instead just kept cramming shit onto their old surplus Shermans, stuff that was never meant to go on a chassis like that. It's a fitting name because we're basically doing the same thing here, but with a burger.
In this case, our chassis is going to be the Triple Cheeseburger. Note the price, $4.29.

Here's the customize menu. I'm gonna be briefly running through what I put on this thing, but the basic rule is "all of it." The goal here isn't to make something that tastes good or makes sense, but throws the wagies in the back for a loop when they see it pop up on the ordering screen.

Extra Mustard, Ketchup, and Diced Onions.
By the way, various options on the menu will have different ways to customize them. Not everything's available with every chassis sandwich, I've found.

5x extra American Cheese.
1x extra patty.
McDonalds only lets you add one extra patty to whichever sandwich you have, but that's regardless of the original patty count. Thus, in order to get the titular 4 patties, you have to start with the triple cheeseburger.

Can't add more salt, can't add another bun. If you really want to fuck with the guys in the back, you could definitely order it without the bun. Kind of defeats the purpose of making a sandwich too big to fit on it, though.

3 "crisp green leaf lettuce", but it lets you add up to 5 tomatoes for some reason. Weird.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

[Anonymous No.11837597]

>>11837569
Here's our M4 Super Sherman Sandwich. $14.95, up from $4.29. You can add over ten dollars worth of extra crap to this thing.
Also, it doesn't adjust the calorie count, but if you look at there screenshots above there's a calorie count for each extra item. I crunched the numbers, and the M4 is 1,457 calories approximately. This is up from the normal sandwich's 520. The leaf lettuce and the extra pickle didn't have caloric counts listed, but they're also probably not 0, so 1460-1470 is the most likely value.
Anyway, let's order this thing. I'm sending the order to a McDonald's I've never been to before, so they shouldn't know what to expect. See you guys in a few while I drive there.

[Anonymous No.11837604]

Oh, yeah. "Special Requests" is just one option, which says "Plain." I don't know exactly what it does, but I didn't check it because this thing is supposed to be the exact opposite of plain.

McDonald's' app doesn't actually send the order until you're on the location and verify that you are, probably to protect against prank orderers. I guess that makes sense, because people could send in orders for sandwiches like this thing all day long otherwise and never pick them up.
Either way, that means I got to see the reaction of the people at the counter as they saw it come in. One guy's eyes widened and he started talking really excitedly in Spanish about what was on the burger order that just came in. He then asked me if I was the mobile order, to which I replied "Yes" with as straight a face as I could.
He then started to laugh and said "You must be hungry, then." The guys in the back were losing it too.

Ultimately, the burger was so big that they couldn't just put it in the bag wrapped in paper, they actually had to put it in a tendie box first. Apparently it took twice the normal amount of paper to wrap, too. The guy at the front also tossed in a fork, saying "You'll need it."
>What a great restaurant.

That's a lot of cheese.
When you're ordering the burger, the 5x extra cheese you can put in is IN ADDITION TO the 3 pieces of cheese the triple cheeseburger actually comes with. That means that this has eight slices of cheese on it. Two for each patty, I guess.

[Anonymous No.11837752]

>>11837732
I think it might've been a bit crushed in the tendies box. The few other times I've ordered it, it looked a lot better.
This place actually took the order a lot better than my "usual" McDonald's, though. Those guys were actually kind of pissed that I'd ordered something with so much stuff the first time, though now it's kind of a joke. These guys were in a good mood about it the whole time.
Maybe I have a more perfectionist McDonald's that I usually go to.

Halfway done. If you look carefully, you can see the four patties.
There really is a lot of cheese on this thing. I ordered a Super Sherman once before, and after that I downsized the "recipe" into something that actually tastes a little better (and is cheaper, and lower-calorie as well) for subsequent visits. I'll post that one at the end of the thread.
By the way, I haven't found any of my tomatoes in here yet. There's supposed to be 5 of them. They'd better not have forgotten to put them in, those things cost extra.

[Anonymous No.11837801]

>>11837794
Tfw 5 slices of tomato cost you 2.20 somehow

[Anonymous No.11837814]

>>11837801
Yep. I really don't understand the pricing for a lot of the extras they put on here. Cheese costs a lot, tomatoes cost a lot, but pickles are free. Figures.
>>11837794
Found 'em, by the way. They were sliding out the back while I wasn't looking.

[Anonymous No.11837822]

>>11837814
Last bite. All in all, not a bad experience, but just like when I first ordered one, it definitely needs some tweaking to make it good. Turns out ordering "everything" on a burger kind of messes up the flavor balance or something.

Everything that fell out of the burger in the process of eating. Looks like I'll be using that fork after all.

And the aftermath, ready to go into the trash bin. I'm probably gonna fast for a few days after this to even things out.
As for the modified recipe that I've worked out for taste: I usually get the extra ketchup, mustard, onions, and pickle, but only one extra slice of cheese. It's still an M4, though, because I get the extra patty.
As for additional condiments, I'll add one slice of bacon, 3 leaves of lettuce, 2 tomatoes, and one thing of mayonnaise.

[Anonymous No.11837896]

>>11837868
Glad to have inspired someone. I'll probably post a similar thread in a week or so, this time maxing out a Double Quarter Pounder or something.
>>11837874
Picture of the modified recipe for convenience. This one tallies up to about 880 calories, and a hell of a lot cheaper than the maxed-out Super Serman. It's actually even cheaper than the double patty versions of their Select Crafted or whatever it's called sandwiches.
The Super Sherman has a fuckton of lettuce and a fuckton of cheese, when you don't really need so much of either. The 8 slices of cheese instead of four, plus the 2 extra squirts of mayo on that one compared to this one, account for most of the caloric difference.

Hope you guys had fun! See you all around.

How much did it cost?

Just over 16 bucks with tax. I wouldn't ever get it more than once, or twice if you forgot to take pictures and post them on /ck/ the first time like I did.
