This blog had a post about increasing portion sizes but it can be summarized with this pic:

And now we have this:

Something about this seems familiar.

There are multiple burgers on a single tray that operate together. Doesn’t this sort of remind anyone else of multicore CPUs? There are diminishing returns in pushing for higher speeds on a CPU. In addition, pushing for higher frequencies also increases heat, reduces CPU lifespan and requires more elaborate cooling solutions. The alternative was to make multiple processes work in parallel rather than making them go faster. So we have multicore CPUs where you can dump individual processes on different CPU core or split a single process across multiple cores.

Actually, that sounds alot like the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak

Which, if I remember correctly, has two engines (one in the front, one in the back) driving separate sets of wheels (front engine drives front wheels) because it was a more efficient way to transmit maximum power to the wheels. A single, twelve cylinder engine would need to transmit power through two differentials, across four axles, and two driveshafts. That’s alot of lost power.

It seems we now have a multicore BURGER.

The 6 Pack, which costs £4.49 on its own or £5.69 as part of a meal, comprises one big Aberdeen Angus patty inside six rolls, stuck together to allow consumers to tear off portions. In one pair of rolls the burger is topped with ketchup, the second has a cheese topping, and the third bacon and cheese.

They are distributing toppings to different burger cores.

Ostensibly it’s to share because, I think, they realize how repellent it would be to announce that this flat of burger meat is for a single individual. However I believe that this is a solution to addressing the problem of how to put more meat and crap on a single burger bun. Burger King had reached the diminishing returns wall of bread structural integrity and is branching out into parallel bun technology
