In-N-Out burgers - eating for the "cycle"??

[crackhead]

After reading the post about eating everything on the Taco Bell menu, I just had to make this post.

For those of you who are familiar with In-N-Out burgers, you've heard of Double-Doubles and 4x4's, right?

So, last week, a couple of my co-workers decide to challenge each other to see who can eat this self-proclaimed "cycle" - a single, a Double-Double, a 3x3 AND a 4x4 - all in one lunch hour. 10 hamburger patties, with cheese and the buns. Nothing else on 'em.

One guy ate it all in about 25 mins. He started with the 4x4 and worked his way down. The other guy tried to start with the single and work his way up. He crashed & burned after the 3x3. Never even attempted the 4x4.

The rest of us were mildly grossed out and incredibly impressed all at the same time. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Anyone else ever attemped to eat more at one time - say maybe 3 or 4 4x4's?

as far as I know they dont offer very big ones anymore.

i did a 10x10 once and used to have a 5x5 be my standard order.

One time I tried to eat a hamburger from In-N-Out with 4 meat patties and I didn't finish. I consider that a brag because everyone who responds in this thread will probably die of heart disease.

GuyOnTilt and I raced to see who could finish a 10x10 the fastest. If I recall correctly, I finished in just over 7 minutes. GoT finished as well, but once it became obvious I was going to win, he slowed his pace. Had he kept racing he likely could have finished within 40 seconds of me. As it was, he finished in about 10 minutes.

The manager at the In-n-Out store I worked at used to talk about a pair of 40x40s he made for two competing USC football players. As the story goes, one finished and the other did not.

I just had 4 double doubles in 2 days and I thought that was too much.. jesus guys.

I'll eventually try a 3x3 (or maybe a 3x2?), but the double double seems like a perfect ratio.

Also, what's the deal with the employees there? Is there a nicer bunch of fast food employees? I sometimes fear it's a cult.

3x3 is perfect. double double is not enough meat/cheese. wait till you try. 4x4 is over doing it
