He then 'grazed' on the 5,000-calorie feast 'throughout the day'

The new customisable burger kiosks are being

If you're the sort of person to view the bog-standard five-tier McDonald's Big Mac as being revolting or excessive, wait until you see this.

A Chicago-based man has taken advantage of the fast-food chain's new customisable 'Create Your Taste' ordering kiosks - which are operated by a touch screen and boast a catalogue of 30 'gourmet' fillings - to create the largest burger the system would allow.

Moshe Tamssot, 51, ordered his monster burger with the maximum number of toppings to create a soaring $25.89 (£16.74) tower of beef, cheese, bacon, pickles, salad ingredients and sauce.

As a frame of reference, there are 508 calories in a single Big Mac, so Mr Tamssot's creation would likely exceed an eye-watering 5,000 calories in total

Initially, according to his Reddit thread, Mr Tamssot was greeted with reluctance when he brought a print out of his order to the cash register.

First of all, a glitch in the system showed a cost of $890 (£575), but this was then fixed to show the correct price of $25.89 (£16.74).

'Initially the manager refused to make it because of the pricing bug, and because he thought it wouldn’t be a good burger,' Mr Tamssot said.

'I had to remind him that the marketing promise was "build your dream burger" and this was the burger I would build if I dreamed about burgers.

'He had to call the corporate office for clearance, as this was a test store, running a test program. Fortunately it was approved and the Big Max was born.'

Currently, the new Create Your Taste kiosks are only available at select McDonald's locations in The U.S. and Australia.

The Big Max, as he crowned it, came with ten servings of cheddar, pepper jack and American cheese; and ten servings of jalapeños, guacamole, onions, mushrooms and lettuce

The self-service kiosks allow a maximum of ten servings of each 'gourmet' ingredient to be added

Mr Tamssot filmed the entire spectacle and uploaded the video to YouTube, where it garnered more than 340,00 views in the space of a week.

He then topped off his culinary monstrosity with ten servings of mayonnaise, sweet BBQ sauce, creamy garlic sauce, McDonald's special sauce and ketchup.

'I did graze on the Big Max throughout the day. Of the 3.8lbs, there was 1.6lbs of sauces, and sauce covered cheese,' he said.
