The Kids In America burger, one of which dislocated Nicola Peate’s jaw (Twitter/AlmostFamousLIV)
A WOMAN HAD to be treated in hospital after dislocating her jaw in an attempt to eat a giant triple-deck beefburger.
Nicola Peate, aged 25, was at a branch of Almost Famous Burgers in Liverpool when she attempted the ‘Kids In America’ burger. It comes with a triple stack of beef patties, pretzels, cheese and candied bacon.

When opening her mouth to eat the montrosity, Peate felt a “cramp” in her tongue, she told the Liverpool Echo.
Then I started to get an ear ache and a headache. The next morning I woke up and felt really, really ill. The whole side of my head was hurting.
She went to hospital, where an X-ray confirmed that she had dislocated her jaw. Happily, a doctor was able to pop it back into place.

The story got out due to an unfortunate personal connection at the Liverpool Royal Hospital:
Peate has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, among the symptoms of which are hyper-flexible joints that may also be prone to dislocation.
The restaurant has since responded to complaints that it was all a giant PR stunt:
