Loved the commercial! Just can't have the burger tooooooooo much sodium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit must be the worst tv commercial ad I have ever seen
ReplyDeleteThe similarities and differences between Hardees and Carls Jr. have created confusion in my naturally befuddled brain.
ReplyDeleteOut in Californy where Carls Jr. hangs it hat I reveled in their unique offerings.
Definitely not your run-of-the-mill offerings!!!
Some of Carl's Jr. foods are BIG and extremely yummy but it HAS been three or so years since I have been in an area with a Carl's Jr.
Here in Hillbilly land where possum stew obtained from scraped-from-the-pavement road-kill is haute' cuisine there are several Hardees.
I entered one a few months ago and... true tale.... the workers AND the manager, who was present, were so incredibly dense, ignorant, and lacking in every manner I could detect with normal human cognitive development made my purposefully simplistic questions and subsequent ordering so tedious, mentally painful I pert-near made a 180-degree tuen to depart the palace of idiocy.
Yes, it WAS that bad.
Pure unadulterated IGNORANCE and, on top of that, all present, including the manager, accused ME of being dense!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enunciated clearly. Used a vocabulary level around an 8th-grade level (I detected a lack of brain-power among those present including the possibility of the not-so-rare inbreeding 'round these here parts, especially down in the numerous hollers and atop the hills in between).
Sigh...........
The mental trauma was severe enough to preclude my recollectin' what I had ordered and I'll be darned if I ever return to that hamburger joint from Heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad taste for a great product. Too bad these guys aren't creative enough to get attention without comparing one piece of meat for another. Shock jocks....shame on you. If there is a woman working there she must have sucked her tongue down her throat on this one. If not, shame on you.
ReplyDeleteIt is better with chicken. :] I don't eat red meat, and before they came out with the turkey burgers I always subbed for chicken. I still think it is a better option.
