You remember the "Where’s the beef?" campaign by Wendy’s hamburger chain, lo these many years ago?
It featured octagenarian ordinary woman Clara Peller insistently asking "Where’s the beef?" when presented with various burgers that had tiny hamburger patties and oversized buns.
The implication was that Wendy’s had the biggest burgers around.
They didn’t.
Rival chain Hardee’s did.
I know this because one of my college roommates worked for Hardee’s, andhe was incredibly frustrated by the fact that Hardee’s didn’t seize the day and produce a rival "Here’s the beef!" campaign. Instead, they stuck with their boring "Real food for real people" campaign.
Well, Hardee’s is up to it again.
They’ve now released the "Monster Thickburger":
The Hardee’s fast food chain has rolled out its new 1,400-calorie Monster Thickburger, with 107 grams of fat.
The sandwich boasts two one-third-pound
beef patties, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese, topped with
mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun [SOURCE].
BODACIOUS!
Hold the bun on mine.
Still no word on the "Here’s the beef!" campaign.
C’mon, Hardee’s! Carpe diem!
One day I hope to eat there.
Lots of people have told me the food there stinks.
Then someone said that they changed the menu and the food got better.
Wendy’s is still King in my book though (next comes Chick-Fil-A).
“…on a buttered sesame seed bun”
Was that really necessary?
🙂
Is that 1/3 pound weight before or after cooking?
I ate at Fuddrucker’s the other day. I don’t know if they have many restaurants nationwide, but they don’t even make a pretense of having nutritional food. The smallest burger you can get is 1/3 lb., and you can go up to 1 lb. MMMMM!
Reading that was enough for my arteries to clog just a little bit more. I can’t imagine actually eating one of those things!
yuck!
1400 calories! That’s not just run-of-the-mill unhealthy, that’s dangerous.
Unless you are athletically active for several hours a day, stay away from that burger! We are stewards of our bodies.
