Pop quiz! Which one is worse: years of crippling drugs abuse or a single meal from that far-from-green fast food eatery, Burger King. If you ask Robert Downey Jr. he’d tell you option B.

Downey recently told Empire magazine that it was Burger King that helped him kick his terrible drug addiction back in 2003. Downey recalls driving with “tons of f***ing dope” in his car when he stopped at Burger King for a burger, but the food made him feel so bad he thought he had overdosed. He said: “I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen.” Robert immediately threw all his drugs into the sea and decided to turn his life around.

That’s easy to understand when you take into account that a Burger King Double Whooper with Cheese has 1,010 calories and 67 grams of fat, a large fry has 590 calories and 30 grams of fat, and a medium Sprite has 260 calories. Assuming he also had the fries, that’s loading your body with a whopping 1,860 calories and 97 grams of fat in one sitting. Yeah, I totally believe that could outdo a mighty dose of nose candy.

So for the first time ever, let me congratulate you Burger King on being so effing gross that you trick people into fake drug overdoses. AWESOME!!
