Burger brand Fat Hippo have revealed a must-know hack to transform the way you eat burgers, inspired by Stranger Things. The top side of a burger is thicker than the bottom and can absorb more of the burger's juices, sauce and flavour.
So experts say if you eat the burger upside down it ensures more ends up in your mouth and not the plate or packaging. Fat Hippo have coined the hack the ‘Upside Down Burger Hack’ to coincide with the latest series of Stranger Things and the show’s alternate ‘upside down’ dimension.
In the first season of Stranger Things, Jonathan Byers tells his brother, Will, “you shouldn’t like things because people tell you you’re supposed to”, and that’s how you should think when eating your burger, according to Fat Hippo.
If you eat your burger upside down, it maximises the taste of the whole experience, according to the experts. The thicker side of the bun absorbs all of the juices and flavours, rather than them dripping out elsewhere, meaning you'll get to enjoy an even more flavoursome burger.
Dickie Nelson, Executive Chef at Fat Hippo, thinks the upside down burger hack is the best one out there: “We use a 60:40 ratio when slicing the lid and base of buns. This allows the juices from the burger to be absorbed into the thicker piece of our demi brioche when using the upside down hack.”
In a TikTok video that reached over 900k views and 100k likes, Max Klymenko shared the upside down burger hack, stating that your burger will never fall apart.
