I worked at a fast food place in high school. They trained us to put the condiments on the bottom bun so you taste it sooner in the tongue. I basically eat my burgers with that logic in mind now. Whatever side the door is is now down.
I always find that when I try and eat a sandwich or chicken burger upright, things (especially the meat) always falls out. So for me, the optimal way to eat it is to pick it up right side up and then flip it upside down to take a bite.
Not really. More debatable is cheese on top or bottom.
Yes Inquisitor, this heathen right here.
This is not debatable. Cheese on top. While the patty is still on the grill, so the cheese can actually melt.
But if cheese is on the bottom, your tongue will taste cheese first
I don’t know how you eat burgers, but the first thing your tongue tastes is the bun…

This doesn't really make a difference to the question, you can melt the cheese on top and then just put the patty on upside down so the cheese is down.

I only flip if the bottom bun is losing structural integrity.
If I'm eating it with fries, particularly chili cheese fries, I don't mind the burger falling apart a little as I'll just eat it up with the fries.
Damn writing that out makes me sound like a fat ass.
Same. The thinner bottom lets the meat and toppings reach the tongue and whatnot easier, but it won't reach if it falls apart either.
True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.
That's actually a great call, I've never thought to flip for that (or any) reason!
Do you have also your balls on the top of your cock?
Like a kangaroo.
Is this a joke I'm too boreal to understand?
Til kangaroos have upside-down dicks.
Well yeah... 'cause Australia.
Happy to be of service
Top up, of course. I'm not some kind of upside-down Australian savage.
Who tf does blue
For the bun in the picture, normal hold is fine.
Unfortunately, more than a few sandwich places believe that the space between the bun is the perfect place to serve a large helping of soup. Thus, by the time it reaches your hands, the bottom bun has lost its hold on mortality and is being torn from existence. Normal solution is to grab the bun that’s still there.
I eat it right side up but I rest it upside down. Top buns soak up meat juice without losing integrity, usually.
Aha! More of us inverter-burgers in the same thread! I'm keeping notes now. If this gets much more serious we might have to organize.
THANK YOU

I don't know about eating it upside down. But when put a hamburger down, I do put it upside down. I feel like they stay better in this position.
When upside, up I find all the parts to often slide apart. When you pick it back
Should we come up with a name for this? Flipmacs? Inverter-burger? One thing I like about doing this is that it is disrespectful to the pompous sesame seeds. They think they're so important. We'll show them!
Do you guys also eat it with the skin?
The . . . burger skin?
Aka wrapping paper.
If the burger is sloppy, I flip it, that bottom bun is just too thin, if it's a fast food burger, I just eat it normally
Both, I just turn around if eating goes into an unexpected manner.
I turn mine to the side like a mad man.
Australias apparently.
I just use a knife and fork.
Whichever as long as it is mine
Vada pav? Left
Burger? Left
Saucy, smashed or curry style burger? Right
Only one of them is actually useful! ;)
Bottom. Idk it just feels less messy that way.
Wait, you guys use hands? I just smash my mouth hole on it over and over again.
If toppings belonged on the bottom, they'd be called bottomings, not toppings.
Hard to argue with that logic.
Crips and Bloods dress like my grandma's table towel.
up and when the stuff starts to fall out i switch
Switch back and forth
Upside down, cos that’s how my hands naturally pick it up.
