Bacon is the food of the gods. It brings its meaty goodness to plenty of dishes, making everything better – everything! Burger King has decided to let us spruce up our burgers with an extra dose of bacony love for a small price. 15 slices for $1.25 exactly. Willing to test the bounds of bacon borders, a Japanese reporter ordered 1,050 slices for his Whopper. That’s a lot of pork toppings!

The brave fellow was only able to gobble down about half of his spectacular bacon bomb before the pork sweats claimed his soul. Half is still close to 500 slices of greasy swine bounty festering in his gut. At minimum he must have swallowed down 30 pounds of the best meat ever to come from a farm animal. They made sure to make a video of his attempt and failure. The mountain of meat he tried to ingest equated to 2.5 iPhones high and the wrapper had more grease on it than on a teenager’s face.
