I bet /ck/ couldn't handle the fool's loaf sandwich

>Elvis Presley once ate a sandwich made with a jar's worth of blueberry jam, a jar's worth of peanut butter, and an entire pound of bacon. The novelty item, served at the now-defunct Colorado Mine Company in Denver was known as the “Fool's Gold.” It cost $49.95 and was served in an entire hollowed-out loaf of bread.

>According to The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley, Presley and his friends took his private jet from Graceland, purchased 22 of the sandwiches, and spent two hours eating them and drinking Perrier and champagne before flying home.

8000 calories per sandwich

To be fair, at the end of his life, which is likely near to when this occurred, he was a gigantic fat ass who performed a shitload of concerts. He may have burned 5kcal away, so it's still pretty awful to eat this monstrosity.

I'm from Memphis, and he didn't eat those with bacon. The restaurant at Graceland today doesn't even serve the sandwiches with bacon. I think people confuse the OP story with the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches that he ate at home pretty much every day.

He died from being overworked doing two shows per night in Vegas by his cruel manager and overmedicated by quack doctors who were paid by his manager to prescribe him all kinds of drugs to keep him up all night and sleep during the day in addition to the meds he was on for his heart condition and autoimmune diseases that ran in his family. The reason why people think he was obese when he died is because all these medications he was on made his face appear bloated during some of his last live performances in Vegas.

Yeah, it totally works. You can make a reasonable-sized one with just a french sandwich roll (or any toasted bread really) and like 4 strips of bacon. The important thing is the bacon is hot and crispy.

That's a hell of a profit margin. Even nowadays I can buy a 48-oz jar of Skippy for $7, a jar of jam for around the same, and a loaf of bread for $5.

Back before Elvis returned to his home planet, what with inflation and all, those were one tenth the price, or less. So we're talking $2 of ingredients for a $50 "sandwich". Fuck that, that restaurant must have been run by the Jewiest Jews of all Jewdom.

Nope, it was well over $500. Realizing that I am outing myself as a geriatric, I used to buy candy bars for a nickel each back in 1972. Cheapest I see in the grocery stores nowadays is $1.50. That's a 30-to-1 price change.

Even in the late 1970s they were 15 cents a candy bar, and a store nearby used to put them on sale frequently for seven cents each.
