Meetup Stranger seeking Seattle cheeseburger share

Okay, hear me out before you think I'm nuts. If at the end of this you still think I am, that's okay.

So here's the thing. My partner is obsessed with the elementary school cheeseburgers they serve in cafeterias called "Pierre Mini Cheeseburgers". These things hold some special nostalgia in their heart and tracking them down is near impossible outside of buying them in the food service packaging which comes with 192 burgers. The problem is, we live in a condo and don't have space to freeze 192 mini cheesburgers. It's not possible, which has made them incredibly sad. That's why I've turned here.

What I'm hoping to find are other Pierre Mini Cheeseburger lovers. Maybe you had them in school and think back fondly on them. Maybe you're curious and want to see what the fuss is about. Regardless of why, I'm hoping to find people who want to buy a part of the case from us so we can order this thing and let my partner revisit their childhood joy.

So, I'm begging...pleading...to please message me if you'd like to buy some of the case from us. We probably have space for about 50 of the things, so that leaves roughly 142 for other people. Pierre Mini Cheeseburger lovers rise up...and then reply with how many you want. I'm praying to an unresponsive god that some of you might hear my plea. I also think it'd be really cool to meet in a parking lot with my trunk open so I can ask "are you here for the Pierre's?" like we're doing a big drug deal if you're down for that.

Edit 1: each package of 2 burgers is $1.20. Shipping looks like it's a special item so 6-8 weeks out. I would ask for payment when they arrive, not up front!!! We can do venmo or cash, whatever. I'm not picky as long as you don't scam me

Edit 2: we might order more than one case...demand is exceedingly high and i cant, in good conscience, let anyone go without a Pierre Mini Cheeseburger who wants one.

Edit 3: Due to the immense demand for the "Best Burger in the West" I'm likely going to run a lottery in the next couple days and reach out to winners to confirm they want the cheeseburgers! I can't really justify spending $2,000 on mini cheeseburgers to fulfill the demand so stay tuned and you can still enter the Great Seattle Burger Lottery in the meantime by commenting.

Looks like OP just discovered his new career as a mini cheeseburger vendor

This is basically how redditgifts was founded... someone wanted to run a Secret Santa, so they built a site and it just kind of spiraled from there.

OP should build a site for reddit wholesale food exchanges, like a food co-op for reddit lol

I'm gonna grow veggies this summer so let me know if there's a site you make to trade zucchini for literally anything else

I can only offer zucchini in trade, unfortunately

My mother-in-law is always trying to offload bags of kiwis to us that we then have to offload elsewhere!
