What do you do when your burger patty is sliding out of the bun?

26 comments

1. Bite it

2. Start eating from the direction it’s escaping from

3. I press the back of the burger with my fingers so that it does not do that.

4. Shove that part in my mouth.

5. >Tongue it?

   How you eat burgers is between you and your god, but don’t make the rest of us a party to your perversions.

6. Put it back down on the plate then use a fork and knife with pinkies up

7. rearrange between bites

8. If it’s out the back, use your pinky fingers to hold it in. If it’s the side, start eating from that side.

9. Sandwich diaper. Before I eat any sandwich I construct a content securing diaper out of paper napkins. This keeps the sandwich fillings from escaping and also catches any juice runs before they befoul my clothing.

10. Accept my failure.

11. Bite from the offending side in the hopes that it will straighten things out.

12. It’s about the grip. You don’t just hold it top and bottom. You should have thumbs and pinkies on the bottom, ring fingers to hold the back in, and the index and middle fingers on top.

13. Push the overhang towards me and eat into it.

14. Push it back in. No big fuss using your hands, you’re using your hands to start with.

15. Spit on it

16. For a big thick burger with lots of toppings, I will cut it in half first and then eat the skinny sides of each half before the middle.

17. Place napkin in back. Or hold on tighter.

18. Cut it in half. Or eat the burger upside down.

19. Just go to shake shack where they partially leave the buns connected so anything that attempts to fall out has nowhere to go.

    TL;DR – Turn your burger into a cube rule taco

20. I usually cut them in half before eating, which makes the sliding apart easier to prevent.

21. Sharpen my teeth.

22. Put it back in and take shorter strokes.

23. try to push it back w a stray finger, if that doesn’t work, take the top bun off and try again
    Replace & enjoy

24. I yell at it. Eventually it feels so sad and depressed it hides under the bun again. I’m an American, I don’t need to take that type of attitude!

    You get back in your bun and THINK about what you did, you grade B slab of processed and mechanically separated meat substitute! And you’d better take your friend, the slice of pasteurized, cheese product with you! And I don’t want to see you playing with the too green tomato or orangy-moldy looking lettuce!

    Sometimes you have to set strong limits.

25. Finally someone asking the big questions here!

26. Reassemble. Build it back bigger, faster, stronger
