I discovered today that Carl’s Jr. now offers a Chili-Cheese (Double or Six-Dollar optional) Burger. And, hey, so long as we’re doing that, let’s dump some on the fries, too! They also now have a Cap’n Crunch milkshake. I remember way back that Planet Hollywood used to use crushed-up Cap’n as a breading for their chicken fingers (in fact, I see they still do), but this was the first time I had seen it as a dessert mix-in.
It’s like they’re basing their entire marketing strategy around how heart-attack-inducing their meals are.
Fun little puzzle (although I did a lot of the work for you above): Go to the Carl’s Jr. Nutritional Calculator. Using only one entree item (burger, breakfast item, or other sammich…you could use a salad if you want, but you won’t want to – keep reading), a single side, a single dessert, and ONLY LOGICAL EXTRAS (you must be able to make a case as to why it would be desirable with that meal), see if you can cobble together a meal that clocks in at over 3000 calories. It CAN be done!
(I am SO going to Fatburger tomorrow night for dinner.)
All the Carls around here are now half “Green Buritto” places. Lots of old time Carls stuff (like baked potatoes) are gone.
Yum, Fatburger…it’s been ages!
Frak! I’m a skosh over 2,500 calories of artery-clogging delight, but I don’t know what to add.
If you get the bigest possible soft drink you can add in lotsa extra empty calories!
Well, shoot – can’t add a soft drink. Hmph.
