- Burger King Thailand is selling what it calls the "real cheese burger": its all cheese, no meat.
- The burger comes with up to 20 slices of cheese and customers can pay for additional slices.
- "This is an insane amount of cheese added into one burger," one customer told CNN.
Thailand's Burger King has unveiled what it calls the "real cheese burger": the burger is meatless and comes with a generous serving of cheese slices.
According to a Facebook post by Burger King Thailand on July 9, the burger comes with "up to 20 slices of American cheese."
The post added that each burger is currently sold at a promotional price of 109 baht, or $3.14. The burger will be sold at the regular price of $10.95.
"This is no joke. This is for real," read the post.
Customers can ask for more cheese if 20 slices aren't enough to satisfy their cravings. Burger King Thailand said in a Facebook comment that customers can pay $0.58 for an additional two slices of cheese.
The new burger has since gone viral on TikTok with multiple customers posting videos of themselves eating the cheese laden sandwich.
One video by a TikTok user named porlorstory — showing a Burger King staff member layering multiple cheese slices between the burger buns — has been viewed over a million times.
But it looks like not everyone is a fan of Burger King Thailand's latest creation.
"This is an insane amount of cheese added into one burger. Food is good when things are at the right combination," a customer named Im Jeepetch told CNN. Im told CNN that she was only able to finish half of the burger.
Representatives for Minor Food, the company that operates Burger King outlets in Thailand, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
