The Unhealthiest Things We Ate: The Kevin Butler, The Ignatius R, The Arby's Meat Mountain

The Worst Thing We Ever Ate: The Land, Sea, and Air Burger

The Most Yogurty: Yogurt For Men

The Second Most Yogurty: Soylent

Even Robert's patented Double Eagle Sandwich Grip of the <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/09/22/350642178/sandwich-monday-the-abe-lincoln">Abe Lincoln</a> in 2014 couldn't contain the mashed potatoes.

The One We're Most Likely To Have Nightmares About: The Egg Rollie

The Most Surprisingly Delicious: The St. Paul Sandwich, The Jim Shoe

Sandwich Monday is a satirical feature from the humorists at Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!
