Hardee's Monster Burger Creates Uproar (pics)
Yahoo ^

Posted on 12/07/2004 10:27:12 AM PST by Next_Time_NJ

A Monster Thickburger bought by a reporter Monday at a St. Louis Hardee's was presented appealingly enough, wrapped neatly in light paper and standing a whopping 2 1/2 inches tall inside a box. But the double-pattied behemoth, bought as part of combo with French fries and a drink, stretched the mouth and stomach, too much for the reporter to absorb in one sitting.

I find their ads offensive. A woman sticking her fist in her mouth; a woman filling her mouth with straws. Yeah, we get it.

I love it! Personally, I don't know if I want to eat this thing, but I don't think people should be in any kind of an uproar. If you don't want it . . . don't eat it! If you do want to, suffer the consequences. This is nothing more than a case of food Nazis!

Makes you want to get in a big-assed SUV covered with GW '04 stickers and drive across town and enjoy one.

Before I die, I'm going to eat the HELL out of one of those!

Of course, considering the caloric content of that burger, it may be the last thing I do before I die...but at least I'll die happy!

I don't understand what is the big deal. This hambuger is 2/3 pound. This same company (Carl's Jr.) has been selling a one pound "Six Dollar Burger" for some time.

Um, first of all it's a guy putting the straws in his mouth.

I think you may be implying that there is a sexual reference in these commercials. I think the goal of the commercials is that you CAN fit something large in your mouth . . . the monster burger, not what you are thinking.

The person salivating the most? John Edwards.

(Well, okay, Elizabeth Edwards.)

Tried one already. It was mediocre, and not worth the cost. Get their 2/3 pound burger with all the fixin's. Now that's good.

Don't forget the big brown baby seal eyes for headlights!

Man...I can't stop looking at that picture of those burgers and drooling. It's like...food porn.

I was a little peeved re: their radio ads equating eating at McDonalds to using a condom; both are methods of birth control because women don't like men who eat weenie burgers from McDs.

I'm getting old. I swear I was more socially liberal a few years ago.
