16 Most Massive Foods You Can Actually Order in America
You gotta love America, right? We take everything, even food, to the extreme! I remember visiting Universal Studios and wanting to get a bite of the gigantic Simpsons’ Pink Donut–that oversized, mouthwatering treat with perfect pink frosting, rainbow sprinkles, and a dough ring larger than your head.
If you think a donut as large as your head is wild, wait until you hear about some of the biggest foods in the USA. I’m talking pizzas bigger than car tires, burgers that need more than two hands to pick up, towering sandwiches, and ice cream sundaes that would make you cry for mercy. The craziest thing about most of these enormous meals is that if you can conquer these food beasts, they’re FREE! Plus, your name goes on the restaurant’s Wall of Fame, and sometimes you even get paid! So, if you want a complementary feast, fame for a day, and maybe even a stomach ache, check out these giant foods you can order and demolish.
