QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–430

This could be a wringer.

who

Simply identify this gentleman. Hint: He is rarely remembered like this. We are generally more familiar with how he has looked after a his features changed in a major way, and have been like that for quite a few decades now.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: For those in and around Bangalore, here’s a request to take a minute of your time and sign this petition, which I have started to aid a colleague.

At least 12-13 replies, with several doubles. But all more or less correct. This is indeed the thespian and veteran A K Hangal, hard as you might find it to believe. Yes, the same old man in the movies, whose youth we have purportedly never seen…

Identify both gentlemen.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Five answers, and four and a half are correct. These are indeed the two Stephens, Colbert and King. Yes, the TV personality and the bestselling author. And yes, they are holding hands!

QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–428

This might be slightly cryptic.

what

Identify the very specific name that this “dish”/”edible article” goes by, and tell me what it’s claim to fame is. And please don’t just give me the generic name of what you see here.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Eight replies, but only six of them are correct, and even then partially so. This is indeed the Quadruple Bypass Burger, an offering by a US eatery called the Heart Attack Grill. As many have mentioned in the replies, this is indeed an unhealthy burger, whose long-term consumption can lead to heart failure. But the “claim to fame” I was looking for is actually Guinness World Records calling it the “world’s most calorific burger”. Yes, it’s official!
