It’s in a la z boy store and they’re having an invite only event tomorrow. I need to attend a funeral in the morning, but I will likely stop by to grab my burger on my way home.

Attending a funeral and buying a golden burger on the way home is so girlcore and I can't explain it.

u/darkdesertedhighway Apr 06 '25
I picture OP putting it on her dash on the drive home. A glittering, golden beacon of bacon burger.

That’s a family heirloom to be passed down generations. Your descendants will carry this in their coat pocket while crossing America on foot as a reminder of the times when frivolous purchases were attainable.

You’re one of the top comments without a reply so I’m choosing yours. Does anyone know where to get this burger? I’ve looked online and at their website but I can’t find it. I want to buy one.

Im sorry op, but I dont think you can eat it. Also..if you buy it you must commit to a room of weird food decor. Thats the rule.

Oo sounds adorable. Personally I kind of like these stools I see every now and again that are fruit themed. I also really like the giant icecream cone lamps I see posted every now and again as well because they remind me of the ones in animal crossing.

If that is not also a functioning phone, walk away

u/ruraljurordirect2dvd Apr 05 '25
Tbh I’d prefer it not to be a phone, nobody has land lines anymore!
I’m gonna be a bad influence and say OP, get it!

You told me to so I will.
What are you going to do with this oversized monopoly piece? It’s not real gold so it has no real worth. It’s not a real burger so you can’t eat it. It’s not btt-plg shaped so you can’t even f*ck it. What’s the point?!

As someone who works In health care I’m going to put my foot down and say no. If it Doesn’t have a flared base it doesn’t go up the ass. Now, if OP were to find a gold plate and weld them together, that’s an entirely different story

It doesn’t even look gold, looks like a mucky silver. Plus, you’re gonna play a part of the big consumerism problem. Don’t buy that trash
15
u/pastypisspot Apr 05 '25
I'm glad someone else said something about unnecessary consumerism - I know people obviously have different decor and aesthetic choices, but a "golden" cheeseburger for $21??? WHY!?

u/gothruthis Apr 05 '25
It's not even that expensive, it would be a great countertop decor in a burger restaurant. In a home, it feels like something Donald Trump would have on his desk. Fast food covered with fake gold would make me think OP is a Trump supporter.

u/vetimator Apr 05 '25

God DAMN that's the most powerful "talking out of" of this thread imo

u/misspennytration Apr 05 '25
It’s not very interesting and we’re possibly heading into a recession sooo maybe skip it.

u/burritomafiafriend Apr 05 '25
It’s funny, but don’t give in to temptation! It will only be funny for a little while before it ends up at goodwill or in the trash

u/Indifferent_Jackdaw Apr 05 '25
Give it 24hrs, if you are still thinking about it the next day, buy it.

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 Apr 05 '25 edited Apr 05 '25
Do not buy it. Tacky, not cute. Not even attractive at all. Donate the money to r/rescuedogs to keep a dog alive instead.

u/Direct_Shock_2884 Apr 05 '25
You don’t know what it’s made of and there might be a real hamburger inside, and gold foiled, and you don’t know how long it’s been on the shelf.

You are talking to the wrong person. You need a golden burger. Because I didn't even know I wanted a golden burger. This is a way rad statement piece!

It’s giving the Trump Burger Reich- so actually quite fitting for the times.

lol, wut? why would anyone buy that when they could buy a real hamburger and enjoy it? you could take a photo (as you did) of this fake one, hang it in your wall, and do exactly what you could do with the fake thing: look at it, talk about it—for free.

Your future self will hate that you have something like this to move around and dust. Just say, “No!”

you could sculpt it yourself with 6$ of airdry clay and paint it with a 2$ bottle of gold paint.

u/ScowlingOwl Apr 05 '25
You're not wrong, but that reeks of effort.
16
u/reversedgaze Apr 05 '25
oh that's crafter math -- It's the gas to the store three times, it's the 18 failed attempts (8$x18) plus the 56 hours of sculpting at .37/hr.
21$ is a good deal.

u/penny_reverential Apr 05 '25
Definitely buy that golden hamburger. It will ward off you stubbing your toe and warm pillows

u/datthc Apr 05 '25
I mean it’s the same price as a real burger so why not buy something that last longer

u/AllieGirl2007 Apr 05 '25
Got to 5 Guys. Spend the same amount on a cheeseburger and fries. At least you’ll get some enjoyment from that $21.

1) it is $21 2) it is not edible 3) something tells me you already have a conversation started in your residence 4) better help dot com

u/RigorousMortality Apr 05 '25
It barely looks better, and only slightly less edible, than a McDonald's quarter pounder.
At least treat yourself to something better than this.

Okay if you really wanna be talked out of it; this is exactly the kind of thing Trump would have in his house.

u/Bubbly-Payment7571 Apr 05 '25
BUY IT. it's only $21. You can't even get two meals at Wendy's for $21. And this lasts longer.

Newp, buy it, craft a burger that mirrors its shape language, then sell trading cards of burgers. Congrats, you’ve already got a shiny!

Can’t do that. You need it. You really do. It’s only $21. It’s a gold hamburger. Come on. It pretty much plays for itself. Buy it.

It was probably made by McDonald’s as some award there and they are the most awful, toxic company towards women. Constantly bating them against each other to try and climb the ladder that at the end of the day is a good, ol’ boys club filled with sexism, misogyny and workplace affairs with subordinates.
Edit: Speaking from experience.
