Jesus. That’s a lotta fucking salt. Gonna be dehydrated for weeks.
McDonalds Cheeseburger healthier than posh sandwich was certainly not on my 2026 Bingo Card.
If your blood pressure wasn’t high because of the price it will be once you’re on your lime bike to the office.
I’ve only ever been in once – and walked right back out. The open counters with their customers leaning over and coughing all over it…😷
It’s from the tears of their poorly treated employees
I’m not completely sold on the whole salt being dangerous Korea have kimchi which is loaded with the stuff
Who is Gail and why do we care that her sandwich is so salty?
Maybe she likes it that way?
The three slices of bread (1.3g) and presumably two rashers of bacon (2.8g) will account for about 4g of that salt. I’m guessing the rest mainly comes from heavy seasoning on the smoked chicken.
It’s over 1,000 calories too, so pretty much a main meal for most people in one.
It must be a lot of work for them extracting it each time.
To be fair a lot of their stuff is less healthy than you’d expect their caesar chicken and bacon sandwich has about 1000kcal per a portion which is far more than even a normal KFC burger like the Zinger that has around 500kcal even the bigger KFC burgers are about 700kcal.
Seem to remember there was a similar thing with a Pret salad vs a big mac a few years back, too. Some of these chains do a great PR job.
Why do people even go to Gail’s. Everything comes out of a factory, dry and overpriced. They don’t even taste good. Why is it everywhere now
Who would have guessed that a sandwich with lots of bacon would contain a lot of salt compared to a burger with no bacon??
Unbelievable, bloody Gail’s and their salty bacon
Whatever you do, don’t look at the salt content of pizzas.
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/may/17/half-of-pizzas-on-sale-in-the-uk-contain-a-whole-days-allowance-of-salt
> The brand’s sizzler standard mozzarella stuffed crust medium pizza emerged as the UK’s saltiest pizza in the research. It contains 21.4 grams of salt, which makes it saltier than seawater.
Just as long as the ham and cheese croissant is safe…
What the hell is a Gail’s? Never heard of them before or seen one. They only in one place or something?
The way that headline is worded it sounds like Gail’s is buying five separate McDonald’s cheeseburgers, extracting the salt from each and putting that salt into their sandwich.
The old rollercoaster tycoon super salty chips amd then coke is $10
I’ve never heard of ‘Gail’s’. Guessing it’s just in random places/England?
The sandwich is 1067 calories while a McDonalds cheeseburger is 287 calories. You’d have to eat 3.7 of the McDonald’s burgers have an equivalent meal (using the word meal very loosely here) on a per calorie basis.
Fundamentally misleading.
You will not eat at Gails everyday. Or even once a month. Those that can and will, probably also have PTs and a lifestyle that doesnt give a fuck.
The point around mcdonalds and other easy, cheap high fat/salt/sugar chains, is that it could and likely does feed a lot of people a day/a week/a month. Particulalry the poorer classes with less care on or access to lifestyle health.
Media shoukd be ashamed for essentially saying a once in a blue moon well made treat is better than mcdonalds and “Action” should know better
I mean there’s really no pleasure in salting someone
Good job salt isn’t actually as unhealthy as everyone seems to think it is.
I tried that sandwich last week actually. While it’s nice, it’s definately not an every day thing. Nor are most things from Gail’s, or even Maccies.
And Michelin restaurants use more fat and salt than both of them. Butter in everything. But you’re not eating any of those meals because you’re on a health kick.
Mostly because there is hardly any salt in a McD cheeseburger. Lots of sugar, but the tiny slice of plastic cheese isn’t going to add much.
I find most things in Gail’s very chewy and dry. Not worth the calories and now apparently salt content. The mini brownie bites are quite nice but I don’t find the coffee that amazing either.
The burger/cheeseburger is actually a pretty healthy sandwich, if one gets tomato, lettuce, and raw onion and mustard versus mayonnaise or ketchup.
Well you’re paying 5 times the price so I would hope so.
Typical gen z food. Insanely salty or sweet. I’ve started to think gen z are lacking enough number of taste buds.
A high salt content is likely used to hide poor quality of other highly processed tasteless ingredients
A diet comprised of high street sandwiches will be detrimental to your health moreso than the salt itself
Charlie Bingham meals are the thing that astounded me when I realised how much salt was in them. I’d never paid any attention to them, but I bought one of the chilli meals randomly about a month ago because it was yellow stickered.
I ate the whole thing because there really isn’t much to them and did not think about it. My only thought about it was that it was really really bad, nothing like a chilli should be, and that the overriding flavour was salt. I also remember feeling incredibly thirsty that evening.
Next day I am sorting out the recycling, happen across the packaging and see that it had 5.2g of salt in the whole thing. I was genuinely baffled. For me the more salt means lower quality. I know it’s for 2 so that’s 2.6 each, but given the portion size that’s incredibly high.
I can’t believe they can get away with marketing themselves as this better product and even pricing it as such and it’s really just salt dressed up.
