    1,420 calorie burger

    Anyone else see this on the news last week?

    Hardee’s Monster Thickburger

    As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee’s is bucking the trend, serving up a megaburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.

    The Monster Thickburger contains twice the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat, and nearly a full day's worth of sodium.

        I love this bit...

        In an interview on CNBC, Hardee's chief executive Andrew Puzder was unapologetic, saying the company's latest sandwich is "not a burger for tree-huggers."

        "This is a burger for young hungry guys who want a really big, delicious, juicy, decadent burger," he said.

          I went to a Hardees for the first time when I was down in Virginia last year. It was quite a dump.

            They are franchised out across the US. Some are good and some are nasty. The one's where I live are quite good and that New Burger....damn good!

              this thread is making me hungry....
              Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

                    WELL, the smacking my work computer hard about the place in the belief it'll make it run that bit faster is alright...
