Move over, Double Down -- there's a new sandwich in town.

Back in April, KFC's Double Down sandwich, made with two massive chicken filets, bacon and cheese, made food reviewers around the country salivate. Literally.

The sodium content was off the charts, at 1,380 milligrams, according to Slashfood.com .

Now, Friendly's has shattered that number with the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt -- a Big Beef burger with lettuce, tomato, and mayo, and instead of a bun, not one but two grilled cheese sandwiches.

Slashfood.com taste testers gave the monstrosity a B+, despite the "significant guilt and remorse" they said would result from eating another one.

The BurgerMelt clocks in at 1,500 calories, with 97 grams of fat and a whopping 2,090 milligrams of sodium.

Even with those staggering numbers, reviewers said the sandwich was "pure genius" and "an embarrassingly pleasurable eating experience."

So, if you missed your chance to get your Krispy Kreme Burger fix at the Florida state fair, your chance for fast food glory is available once again.
