Seriously. Bite into one and more often than not, the contents go flying out the other side. You get sauce all over your hands, sauce all over your face – this is not a good food experience.

Eating burgers with a knife and fork is grand and we'll hear nothing against it
ON SUNDAY, ACTOR Matthew Lewis ate pizza with a knife and fork on live TV, and viewers were scandalised.
Whoops!

But what was wrong with his actions? Why should he be vilified for eating food neatly?
We can’t let this slander against people who eat burgers and pizza with a knife and fork go unanswered. JUSTICE FOR THE CUTLERY-WIELDERS.
So first things first – burgers are super difficult to eat

Jaw-dislocatingly massive.
Cutting a burger in half is the safe option. Cutting it into quarters is even better.
Some women also have the chin-lipstick problem to consider

In closing, cutlery is the saviour of neat freaks and small-mouthed people everywhere
We will not be silenced. *holds fork aloft in solidarity*
