Faithful readers may remember the video I posted on April Fool's Day last year, which featured a girl playing a trumpet solo to the Star Wars theme and doing some "inventive" dancing and pantomiming. As I said then, it wasn't an April Fool's joke in the truest sense, but appropriate for the one day of the year that celebrates foolishness.
I have been thinking about what I could do this year for a follow-up in the same spirit, and through serendipitous circumstances, I found my answer. You see, Kristen and I almost always have either a CD or iPod playing in the car, rarely giving the radio a listen. But driving to and from the gym this morning, there was nothing in the stereo. It is such a short trip that I didn't bother putting anything in. So long story short, I ended up hearing the following story on 101.9 The End in the only 2 minutes I have listened to the radio this year.
The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball franchise, are featuring a new item in their concession stands this season, the Fifth Third Ballpark Burger. What goes into this culinary delight you ask?
• 8-inch sesame seed bun
• 1 cup of chili
• 5 one-third pound hamburger patties
• 5 slices of American cheese
• Liberal doses of salsa, nacho cheese and Fritos
• Lettuce, tomato and sour cream
• Jalapeños (optional)
All this adds up to a $20 price tag and an artery obliterating 4800 calories. To see a Fifth Third Ballpark Burger being made, check out the following video. And just to clarify, this is not a hoax.

I'm surprised to see they included the tomatoes and lettuce. What's the point?
Too bad it's not local, or we could have our next Kup dinner at the ball park.
I saw this on http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/
It looks pretty yummy to me!
Now that I think about it, $20 is a pretty good value, since it usually costs about that much to get a couple of shriveled hot dogs and drinks at the ballpark. This burger gives you so many more calories for your money.
