Don't make mine a double!

Anti-obesity campaigners aren't happy …

The Double Decker Pepperoni Pizza, weighing in at 699g and 1,780 calories, is here, courtesy of Iceland supermarket. This doughy beast contains just short of the recommended daily allowance of calories for a woman and has come in for stern criticism from anti-obesity campaigners. Some things, they say, just don't need doubling. Here are three more undesirable doubles:

The Double Decker Double Decker The D4 stacks cereal, nougat, more cereal and more nougat, creating a chocolate bar that absolutely no one has ever dreamed of.

The Double Decker Double Decker Bus This is basically just two buses. Disadvantages include its tendency to fall over in strong winds, inability to pass under bridges and the fact that you now have one fewer buses.

The Double Decker Jar of Pesto Again, basically just two jars, except you can use the second only once you've emptied the first. Solves the two-open-jars-of-pesto dilemma, though. On second thoughts, this one's quite a good idea.
