    Exclamation 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!
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    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...
