I’ve always found the term sliders a rather disgusting term for a mini burger. Slide right down your throat… etc. We don’t need to think about body functions when eating, kthnx.

sliders are greasy.
they slide right out of you.

white castle has had this nickname since the 70s.
much like mcdonalds has been called mickey d’s.
mcdonalds finally realized they need to grab a hold of the “black slang” and embrace it.
at first they were reluctant.

white castle has done the same with “slyders”. embrace it and it will take out the negative connotations.
gay people used the pink triangle to negate the effects of what the nazi’s used it for during WWII.

the fact that companies like t.g.i.f and the like use sliders to describe mini-burgers is
hilll-air-eee-ous. it only works with white-castle.

and to gma, the term is pastime not pass-time.

Pronunciation:
\?pas-?t?m\
Function:
noun
Date:
15th century

: something that amuses and serves to make time pass agreeably : diversion

Even though the small burgers from White Tower carries the name “Slyder”, I am disappointed that the name does not have a BASEBALL connection like so many other terms and slang used in everyday language. That would make them more of a true American Pass-time Favorite.

The term sliders is an old Navy cook’s slang term. It meant a burger that was so greasy it literally slid off the plate. Doesn’t sound so appetizing now, does it?

In the Southeastern US, a chain called Krystals sells these type of hamburgers. They are low quality ingredients and usually have substandard service, but the burgers are tasty and suffice for truckstop fare.

You can make these yourself, by purchasing Kings Hawaiian sweet bread rolls, and grilling the meat similar to that process described here, in a baking pan and with a toaster oven. Cook the patties till done, and put the buns on top of patties for a minute with the coils turned “off” but hot, so they do not burn the buns. You can make your own patties simply enough by hand. A cheap way is to grind the meat and onions in a food processor with some Cheezits and pack into little patties for fast cooking. don’t forget the Pam spray.
