http://www.kansas.com/2014/01/02/3207343_spangles-surprised-by-sales-of.htmlLocal hamburger chain Spangles introduced a crazy new burger on Christmas Eve. And customers are playing along with surprising enthusiasm, the restaurants marketing director says.
Its a burger named The Beast, and it features six 1/3-pound steak burger patties layered with 12 slices of American cheese and topped with mustard, ketchup, onion and pickle.
The burger, a 3,000-calorie monster, is too big for the average mouth to even bite. But thats not stopping Spangles customers.
On New Years Day, said marketing director Stephanie Huckins, 12 people ordered the burger, including a pair of brothers who challenged each other to a burger-eating contest.

Couldn't they have used real cheese like sliced Colby or Cheddar?

Not because cheez whiz is good but because it fits the oeuvre of the burger. Also bacon-mayo. pickles.
Am I eating that? Non!

That it its one and only proper use.
