BurgerShot-GTAIV-HeartStopperAD

An advertisement for the Heart Stopper.

Can you imagine a burger as big as your head? Can you imagine getting 20 times the recommended daily amounts of calories, saturated fat and salt in one sitting? The all new Heartstopper does what it says on the box: 7 luke-warm patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, half a jar of mayonnaise, pickles and an asylum seeker's semen. At 6 lbs, the Heartstopper is like a new-born baby on a roll. Die with a smile on your face.
— Description at burgershot.net.

The Heart Stopper is a meal served at Burger Shot in Grand Theft Auto IV. It cannot be ordered, but is visible through menus and advertisements.

Description[]

The Burger, as stated in the ads, is 'Super-Sized', having 7 beef patties. The aptly named burger consists of seven patties and a total of six pounds of meat and cheese. The ads have a man calling 911, suffering a heart attack then shifting to a logo of Burger Shot. The motto of the Heart Stopper is, "Oh, I think my heart just stopped!". The player can watch TV to see the commercial. The ads can be seen on billboards and signs, and also in the On Liberty issue that comes with the PC version of the game. The burger can be seen on a TV ad and a mission where Niko Bellic goes to a vantage point in upper Algonquin and snipes a TV watcher who is sighting the commercial. It's seen on burgershot.net, which states that, "Amazingly; after you eat one; you'll be hungry an hour later". On The Beat 102.7, a "Double Heart Stopper" is briefly mentioned.

Influence[]

The burger appears to be influenced by burgers like the Big Mac and Whopper, as well as the burgers served at the infamous Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, which has gained notoriety due to its unusually large and unhealthy menu items and the fact that some of its spokespeople and patrons have died or become ill from eating the burgers.[1][2][3]
