This is how Carl's Jr promotes their burgers (if you look real hard, it's in her left hand).

I could be wrong---but I think she really likes that Carl's Jr Burger.

[Chaguito]

Thank you. I wondered if anyone would note that little sad irony.

Well, I know the Carl’s Jr. in Tempe used to have draft beer for one thing.

...personally, I think it’s a great ad.

An order is Kris-Kut fries please.

[Deo volente]

Do they even make the Old Time Star anymore?

Yes, they do! They renamed it, though. It's the Big Burger, and here in Los Angeles, it's only one dollar.

Ive got you beat.

3 blocks away from me is Carls Jr. Another block away is In N Out...the same In N Out where Paris Hilton was arrested for the DUI that led to her “incarceration” last year.

McDonald’s in Madrid, Spain sold draft beer as well.

IMO the best burgers by far are homemade burgers. Problem is, most people don’t know how or are too lazy to make a great homemade burger.
