Is this actually a thing?
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.
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.
That's actually a great call, I've never thought to flip for that (or any) reason!
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.
Top up, of course. I'm not some kind of upside-down Australian savage.

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
Why are you setting it down?
That's rookie eating.
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.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
I turn mine to the side like a mad man.
Both, I just turn around if eating goes into an unexpected manner.
Whichever as long as it is mine
Australias apparently.
Vada pav? Left
Burger? Left
Saucy, smashed or curry style burger? Right
I just use a knife and fork.
Only one of them is actually useful! ;)
Crips and Bloods dress like my grandma's table towel.
Wait, you guys use hands? I just smash my mouth hole on it over and over again.
up and when the stuff starts to fall out i switch
If toppings belonged on the bottom, they'd be called bottomings, not toppings.
Hard to argue with that logic.
Bottom. Idk it just feels less messy that way.
If it's got two patties I'm splitting the top and bottom between them. I don't have to choke myself and my food gets much more masticated
Switch back and forth
Upside down, cos that’s how my hands naturally pick it up.
Uhh neither, two double cheeseburgers all bottoms add Mac sauce stack as you please. Imo it's better because no tops and one extra bun.
It’s high time that you knew of the terribly horrible thing that Zooks do. In ever Zook house and in every Zook town every Zook eat his bread with the butter side down!
