Would you like another EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES
You laugh, but Texas already has Big Gas Burger (get it?), and yeah, it's 1/3 pound.
Totally agree with the approach. Here, but with fewer letters.

FAT BURGER

GINORMOUSLYUGE BIG FAT BURGER

(To encourage association of more letters more meat)

The GIANT PILE OF CHEAP-ASS MEAT BURGER
Uch I'm not a vegetarian or some health freak but the amount of meat they put in some dishes... It just completely overwhelms the taste. And at the risk of sounding like an eco warrior terrorist I think meat is too cheap if you can put an entire sausage on a €7 pizza. There is an environmental cost that isn't priced in- and a health cost too.
"Pile" typically refers to sliced deli meat, i.e. "pastrami piled high". You may confuse the customer into thinking that there's also deli meat on the burger when there isn't.
I think it was the motivation behind the "Thick Burger" from Carls Jr.
That's basically the Jack In The Box menu now.
