    This is the result of incorrect burger gripping, where the pinkies and ring fingers should also be holding the back end together, ensuring a safe dining experience

    If this starts to happen, turn it around before it slides too much and start biting from the other side instead. Usually does the trick!

      Thank you. I had to scroll through so many comments about disgusting holding techniques that get your hands even dirtier.

      Be civilized. Cut your burger in half. You will not regret it.

    That’s why I run away from big overstuffed burgers. In my country, people put lettuce, fresh tomatoes and raw onions in burgers like they actually are kebabs. Best burgers I know are toasted bun, patty, fried onions or grilled bacon, 1-2 pickles, and a homemade sauce. No room for escape

    I put my thumb slightly behind the middle on the bottom and put a little pressure on the back of the bun with my pinkie fingers so that the stuff inside has a gentle pressure towards my mouth. While some sauces might escape, the toppings and meat stay in.

    Usually I see people blow out their burgers by holding the part closest to their mouth in a counter productive attempt to squish it into their mouth.

      This is what I do, but it’s not about this. The stuff exits the other side because pressure on the top and bottom from biting into it squeezes the contents. It can’t go into your mouth because your teeth are in the way.

      Exacerbated when the burger contains slippery stuff e.g. lots of mayo and tomato.

      It is not 100%, but my burger eating got infinitely better ever since I saw this image a couple of years ago. I saw the meme and thought if this one, so glad tou delivered this wisdom to others.

      I never considered it would be a technique issue.

        With extra messy burgers, consider supporting the backside of the burger even more. Pinching the opposite end of the burger between little and ring fingers Basically like the image, but moving the fingers closer to the middle
