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.

No, The Six Dollar Burger is 1/2 pound of beef.

I'd rather eat 40 White Castle burgers. That's what I wish we had here in Texas.

Do you have Krystal's in Texas?

Having a discussion about hamburgers with Prime Choice...hmmmmm

I know. What incredible irony! ;o)

I gotta bail on this thread. I'm supposed to be lowering my cholesterol and I can feel my arteries harden at some of these burger descriptions! LOL!

When I'm on the road and have to eat fast food, I often refer to it as "hitting the drive-thru for a fresh bag of death."

Being on a diet sucks! I don't have a Hardee's nearby now but I used to love those thickburgers with bacon and cheese down in Nashville. Best burgers around, bar none!

I'm hungry!

I wonder if I would be a thank you note from my cardiologist and cardiac surgeon if I buy and eat one.

LOL Personally I see a hot chick and start having sexual thoughts. But, personally, I see that in MANY commercials and shows that are never criticized for having any sexual innuendo in them. LOL Maybe that has more to do with me than Madison Avenue though. : )
