A TV show about tiny burgers...really?


Why don't they just do a 3 hour long episode about one regular sized burger?

reply

Just to add some context, the show is mainly about interdimensional travel, so the tiny burgers are actually the regular-sized ones of a parallel universe, and in turn their sliders are about the size of a fingernail. Subsequently, the main characters spend the series trying to make it back to their homeworld (our Earth) where regular hand-sized burgers reign supreme.

It's sometimes tough to find decent burger anyway, but traveling between dimensions makes it double-doubly so.

Now you mention it that might go someway to explaining why the Big Mac is actually almost two separate burgers...

Either whoever created it is from a different dimension or we all are and that's why it is so appealing to many.

Thanks!

Funny you should bring up the Big Mac here. There was an episode of Sliders where they jumped into a parallel universe where the original Ronald McDonald was a serial killer clown who would serve his victims to his customers. The Big Mac actually was made from someone named Mac and that's how the name came to be. It was so popular among the public, that at the present time in that universe, McDonald's had human farms that they raised people in to slaughter and use in their burgers and it was all perfectly legal. I'm not even going to go into what the secret sauce was.

Thats why I always get 2 burgers instead - cheaper , more food ,and you dont have to try stuff both burgers into your mouth simultaneously!
