Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger made news yesterday that set the Internet
off with requests for pictures, and an insight as to just how bad this
burger could be for you. We've spent some time coming up with as much
information as we can on the now famous Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger
creation.

Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger - 1,000+ Calories
While the exact nutritional information on the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger are unknown, we've found a CBS report that tells us more on the punch this burger provides:
It could be the world's unhealthiest snack. The ultimate in fast-food
indulgence is cooked up, not by a restaurant chain, but by a
minor-league baseball club, reports CBS News correspondent Cynthia
Bowers. Despite having a charming ballpark just outside St. Louis, the
Gateway Grizzlies will likely never be renowned for their brand of
baseball — one step below Single-A ball. But they're already famous at
the concession stand. Or should that be infamous? It's sweet like a
doughnut, and then you've got the hamburger. You’ve read that right.
It's a burger with cheese and bacon, sandwiched between a Krispy Kreme
doughnut — a heart attack waiting to happen. A burger so perfect, they say, tampering is discouraged.
“You're ruining it! You're not supposed to put ketchup on it!” Bowers
says to a diner. “Well, I don't know. It's my first time,” he replies.
For a mere $4.50 it's breakfast, dinner, and a little dessert all in
one. That it packs up to 1,000 calories — the donut alone has 10 grams
of sugar — doesn't seem to faze diabetic diner Floyd Schuetz. “Oh, I’ll
have another one of these,” he says.
