Since a number of influencers and diners have shared their reviews of the simple creation after seeing clips about the new menu addition on TikTok and Instagram.

Wipada Khankhokkruad, a 31-year-old model, took her sons, aged 2 and 10, to a Burger King in central Bangkok to try the 'Real Cheeseburger.'

“It was really yummy at first bite, and you can feel the thickness of the cheese,” she said. “But the more I ate, the more cloying it got; it was too much for me.”

Meanwhile, travel writer Richard Barrow tweeted that he "struggled to eat even half" of the 'burger.'

Another diner simply gave a simple review of "Don't force it. Our lives are valuable."

Meanwhile, Bangkok food writer Eric Surbano labelled it "horrid" and a "shock to the digestive system."
