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.

Carl's Jr. is GREAT! I go there all the time when I'm in CA.But I just get a regular burger. One of those one-pounders is a walking heart attack. :-)

Got one right now - it's good, but I think I like the 2/3 lb double bacon thickburger better - it comes with a salad. ;-)

No, the one I saw last night featured a woman. My daughter and I were offended. Please, "not what [I'm] thinking. Just me and a few million of my closest friends. Get real. Another prime example of sex sells.

The government should step in and force Hardees to remove these things from the market, or ELSE! It's for our own good!

You are right. The big deal is a successful marketing campaign. Tweaking the "food nazi's" has bought them millions of dollars of free publicity.

By the way, I've eaten one of those "six dollar burgers" and it was pretty darn good. I wouldn't want to do that all the time, but right then and there it sure hit the spot!

Mmmmm. Leftover burger in the morning.

From the food nazi's quoted in the article we have this

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, dubbed the Thickburgers "food porn," the Monster "the fast-food equivalent of a snuff film."

Next time I'm near a Hardees I'll have to try killing myself with one

I'd watch it... Hardees isn't all that great. I'd rather eat 40 White Castle burgers. That's what I wish we had here in Texas.

The worst commercial. I have to change the channel during football games so my daughter doesn't grow thinking her goal in life should be to become a whore.

Cut it in half and make two meals out of it. Or share the other half with a friend. Problem solved.

Jeez, go get a real hamburger. It's cooked on a griddle and probably nuked. You can't get good food at a Hardee's.


Not since the Huskee Jr anyway.

The same people that whine that we should legalize pot are the ones who want to forbid me to eat a huge sloppy cow burger because they know what I should take into my body. Jeez! Talk about hypocrites!
