What is the difference between Vegas's Heart Attack Grill and a crack cocaine dealer?

[Zalatix]

I mean, aside from one dealer is legal and the other one isn't?

Apparently this business gives FREE massive double, triple and quadruple bypass burgers to people over 350lbs, along with "flatliner" fries, Jolt and a pack of unfiltered cigarettes.

How is this different from dealing drugs? You're handing out a product that, in the context of the situation, is almost guaranteed to kill.

Disclaimer: I absolutely love hamburgers. I am a big fan of having an extra patty on my Double King Burger at Fatburger. But damn, Heart Attack Grill is just too much. Apparently for two of its customers and (from what I hear) a 600 lb Heart Attack Grill spokeswoman who died, it was too much for them, too.

1. Crack cocaine is physically addictive.

Hamburgers are just enjoyable. You won't go through agonizing withdrawal symptoms if you stop eating them.

[Zalatix]

4. The company is clearly catering to or looking for people who are compulsive eaters.

And it's hard to even CONCEIVE their menus as being anything else but a fatal overdose of fat and carbs.

I mean, really, no-filter CIGARETTES?

That company isn't just playing innocently with fire; they've burned a number of people now. One spokesperson dead and two collapsed, directly due to the overdose-level of food they offer? These deaths and collapses are a direct result of the insane food they ate.. that I will bet.

It's not a joke anymore when the flatliner fries almost flatline you. Sane people get it after the first time around.

2. What is the difference between Vegas's Heart Attack Grill and a crack cocaine dealer?

Uh! Everything. I don't know of anyone that is addicted to their burgers. One is selling a food product necessary to maintain life, the other a deadly drug. One is involved in illegal drug trafficking that kills thousands a year, the other is not. I mean C'mon.....

3. Crack cocaine is illegal and as a rule, food isn't. That's the difference.

5. This product is "almost guaranteed to kill"? Really?

I presume that thousands of people...at least...have consumed this product. How many have died from doing so?

6. You can OD on drugs, but with the most addictive ones

The effect it has on your life and finances is as bad if not worse. These drugs can take everything you own and put you out on the street, where you do all sorts of unpleasant things in order to feed your addiction.

That's a big difference with food. Few if any people have ever ended up on the street because they ate too many hamburgers.

7. Difference:

[Zalatix]

11. Both are scenes of people slowly killing themselves.

Have you seen how big their bypass burger is?

8. Unless you're Wimpy, everything.

[ohiosmith]

9. Damn straight. Try that "I'll pay you Tuesday" shit with a crack dealer.

10. If you have to ask that question....

You wouldn't understand the answer.

[MrScorpio]

12. The crack dealer wants you coming back for more. nt

13. A crack cocaine dealer sells crack cocaine maybe?

14. What is the difference? One has a business license to operate. The other, not so much.

All the people who went to jail for robbing banks? Hell, they should've opened a bank of their own and robbed everybody else through compound interest and securities fraud.
