People are absolutely disgusted at the sheer size of one death row killer's last meal, who did not hold back one bit when he ordered his ultimate banquet.
The man who has since been dubbed the 'Ninja killer' put away a colossal amount of food right before receiving the lethal injection.
Louis Bernard Gaskin, 56, was convicted for the murder of Robert Sturmfels, 56, and Georgette Sturmfels, 55, back in 1989.

Gaskin shot killed the pair with a .22-caliber rifle in their Flagler County winter home, based on Florida's northeastern coast, when they were visiting the state from New Jersey.
He was also convicted of armed robbery and burglary as well as the attempted murders of both Joseph and Mary Rector that same night.
Gaskin was reported to have stolen a clock, two lamps and a videocassette recorder from the Sturmfels' home which were all later found at his residence.
At the time, local media reported that Gaskin quickly confessed to the heinous crimes and revealed to a psychologist before his trial that he knew what he was doing.
"The guilt was always there," he said. "The devil had more of a hold than God did. I knew that I was wrong. I wasn't insane."
He received the title of the 'Ninja killer' as he wore all-black ninja clothing during the crimes.
Now, more than three decades later, Gaskin has been executed by the state.
Department of Corrections spokesperson Kayla McLaughlin Smith released a statement on the matter during a news conference.
She confirmed that Gaskin woke up at 4:45 a.m. Wednesday (12 April) and had his last meal at 9:45 a.m.
According to the spokesperson, the killer's last meal included BBQ pork ribs, pork and turkey neck, Buffalo wings, shrimp fried rice, french fries and water.
Gaskin received the lethal injection at 6:15 p.m. local time, according to Florida's governor's office.
The 56-year-old had been on death row for 33 years.
And people have been left totally outraged at the monster amount of food that Gaskin chose for his last meal.
One Twitter user wrote: "Man eats better on death row than I do with no felonies."
"I can never understand how prisoners awaiting execution could even want to eat a last meal," commented another social media user, "let alone a feast."
A third Twitter user claimed: "They should've fed this scum a bowl of plain oatmeal and a bag of rice cakes!!"
"Should have gave him roadkill and motor oil," echoed a fourth.
