The 75×75 100×100
Friday, January 20, 2006 23:04
Y’know how In N’ Out’s “double-double” is double meat/double cheese? Yeah, well…
UPDATE: As reader/researcher StarCreator corrects, this is actually a 100×100, total cost $97.66, as blogged over a year ago by What Up Willy. Thanks to StarCreator for the find, and I strongly recommend visiting the original slideshow this pic comes from: a group of friends killing a Vegas booze buzz and snapping photos all along the way (registration to KodayEasyShareGallery req’d).

Surely there’s a story there, or do we write it ourselves?
“Mr Atkins’s wake started with a light appetizer…”

Caltech undergraduates have been known to order a 100×100 for a party.

For a minute I thought I&O actually had a box for something as horrid as that. I like how they MacGuyvered it with a foil wrap box.

Mr Atkins’s wake started with a light appetizer… A crusty old dowager, her face resembling a fallen pie, glanced askew at the jumbo sandwich on offer and sneered.
“Gahh!” she spat. “Do you think they might have taken a moment’s consideration for the catering, given the old coot did, in fact, die of a massive coronary?!”
“Mmwhuff?” mumbled her shy, diminutive companion, her mouth crammed with greasy, cheesy delights…

And all this time I thought I was a badass for once finishing a 5×5…

In N’ Out’s “secret menu” has become fairly common knowledge since the internet, and local blogger Badmouth has covered it thoroughly with reviews and pictures.
After a lunchtime chat about it the other day, (who said Gingergrass doesn make good pho??) my lunchmate emailed me this snap. I don’t know when or by whom it was taken, but inquiries have been made. I’ll comment back when I find out.

Some research (read: boredom) revealed what might be the original origin of this image, complete with additional images, posted back in November 2004 - http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2004/11/vegas-recap.html
Of course, the post claims it’s a 100×100, not a 75×75.

No doubt about it! Thanks Starcreator, glad you’ve got nothing better to do! My own research for a picture ref came up dry, and now I know it’s because I was told this was a 75×75. Will update above.

Wow…i’m pseudo-famous. That’s my blog..and yes we did finish the greasy-disgusting-100×100. It has been over a year..and I haven’t eaten In’N'Out since. I think I personally put down 21 or 22 patties and cheese glop.
We only had one person barf…

Hey, thanks for badmouth’s link with the great pix — ya know, until today I always thought “protein style” — my all-time fave and absolutely the *only* burger that will pass my lips, on rare occasions — and “animal style” were somehow the same. Cool.
The “flying dutchman” — WTF?!? too funny!

So according to Will’s site, the extrapolated caloric content of the 100×100 was 19490. This means for every meat and cheese combo, it was around 200 calories. So for the party members who ate 20+ patties, that was 4000+!!!!! calories in one sitting. Wow, that would definitely put off anyone from eating In-n-Out for a long time.

i like how the employee in the back is staring at the camera like there’s nothing abnormal about the current 75 x 75 order.
“Yep, those are big sellers, alright.”

[...] For example, the term “4×4″ is a burger with four patties and four slices of cheese. Some simple number substitution can lead to a glutton-buster of your worst fantasies. Here’s a picture of a 100×100. [...]

Sucks, in and out changed the rules, I believe a 24×24 is the biggest you can go now.

as a current INO manager i’ll give you all the quick breakdown. INO is no longer allowed to serve a burger larger than a 4×4 (4 meat, 4 cheese). is it possible that some establishments may bend the rules? of course… back story is when INO made it into AZ there were some reporters that went and ordered 10×10’s. then they published in a newspaper article that it made them feel sick. personally, anybody who eats that much should feel sick. from that point on, to avoid bad publicity, the powers that be decided on the forementioned conclusion. besides, those oversized orders keep the rest of the customers from getting their delicious food in a timely manner.
