How to Make a Big Mac Even Better (and Worse For You)

We as a country have reached the point where our obesity crisis is so bad, just regular fast food menu items aren't good enough for us anymore. No, we have to take greasy, calorie-filled burgers and sandwiches to an even greater level of ridiculous, and nothing clogs the arteries of our collective heart than a deep-fried Big Mac.

Because 'Merica.

Now, "food hacks" are nothing new, but Instagram user @peepmysneaks is kicking it up a notch. On his food blog peepmyeats.com, he gives a full tutorial on how to make a deep-fried Big Mac. And as disgustingly fattening as it sounds, I won't lie--I want one.

I've tried a few "food hacks" myself, like "The Luther," a cheeseburger served up on a grilled Krispy Kreme donut that, according to urban legend, was the favorite concoction of R&B singer Luther Vandross and likely contributed to his untimely death of a heart attack at age 54. I've also tried a McDonald's hack that you can sometimes order by its hilariously inappropriate name, which consists of shoving an entire McChicken--bun and all--between the two beef patties of a McDouble cheeseburger.

Hey, don't you judge me.

Once upon a time, delicacies like fried Oreos and fried pickles were considered "food hacks," but are now part of restaurant menus across the country. And who knows, maybe McDonald's will embrace the deep-fried Big Mac?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood and have a salad. I feel so dirty.
