A pregnant woman's substantial In-N-Out order, shared on Reddit, has captured significant online attention, igniting discussions about cravings and food portions. The order, posted under the title "Pregnant and Shameless," included two cheeseburgers, two orders of fries, one strawberry shake, and a large pink lemonade. The customer also opted for "animal style" preparation on one burger and one order of fries, a special menu item featuring mustard-grilled patties, extra spread, and pickles for the burger, and the same toppings plus melted cheese and grilled onions for the fries.
The total cost for the expansive meal was $21.79. The Reddit user explained her choice of two burgers by stating she couldn't decide between the standard preparation and the animal style. Accompanying photos depicted the large quantity of food, which was noted by commenters as being sufficient for more than one person.
The viral post resonated with many online users, with some expressing their own cravings and others sharing similar experiences with large food orders, regardless of pregnancy status. "I always get 2 burgers just because I’m a fat-ss," one user commented. Another added, "I would tear this up and I’m not pregnant lol. Looks incredible."
Some users also shared personal anecdotes about facing judgment or criticism for eating habits during pregnancy. One individual recounted a doctor's comment at an 8-month appointment, where the physician reportedly told her to "stop eating for 2" after a significant weight gain, despite the patient's protestations.
In terms of value, the article notes that In-N-Out often compares favorably to larger fast-food chains, which have faced accusations of smaller portions for higher prices. For example, a Double-Double meal at In-N-Out costs $10.45 before tax in California, while a Big Mac Meal can range from $12.38 to $14 after tax, depending on the location.
The woman's cravings are also noted as being among various unusual pregnancy food desires reported by expectant mothers, which have included combinations like sardines and ketchup, or pickles and cheese.
