Why is this thing called the Thick Burger? Makes it sound so damn disgusting.

If you live in states where it's called Carl's Jr., it's known as the Six Dollar Burger.
1/2lb. patty with catsup in the meat for flavor. Here's what it looks like:

They recently ended a promo with a double (1lb) six dollar burger. I'm sure if you REALLY wanted it, you could request it.

Here's a variant (w/bacon, onion rings, american cheese and bbq sauce):

Edit: OMG! That thing has onion rings on it... lol... people everywhere must be dropping like flies.

I'm not even a pot smoker, but pot is illegal and this isn't. OK.

Do you at least have to be 18 and under 300 pounds?

Oh yeah... the Bacon Double Six Dollar Burger... they had that for a little bit... but they replaced it with the biggest WTF promo sandwich I've seen yet from them:

The Double Pastrami Burger

Someone cut it in half to show the contents - "Note that it's comprised of two patties, a layer of pastrami, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and brown mustard. Surprisingly, they left out cheese. "

(The commercial tagline for this is "Because Deli's Don't have Drive-thru's")

Pfft I'm a skinny guy and I used to eat two of those a day every weekday for about 6 months (I like the guacamole one too :D). Do it you pansy!
 
"Thickburger" sounds like Keenan and Kel gay porno. If that makes you hungry, you have far greater problems than mere calorie consumption..

Ugh. That looks nasty.
 
How does the size of the patty size up to, say, a Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger?

And for those who really want to know: I've eaten a 1 lb. hamburger once. From Fuddrucker's. WITH an order of fries.

I survived.

Why is this news? You can get giant burgers in pretty much any podunk town diner; Hardee's only gave the idea a name

Because that's what you get for being #1 on a national scale. This thing has 33% more calories than a Double Whopper w/ Cheese.

Well, YEAH... if you want to generalize it, you could get a 6lb. burger:

You can actually get this meat monster for $23.95, load with all the "fixins"...

*Two whole tomatoes
*A half-head of lettuce
*12 slices of American cheese
*A full cup of peppers
*Two entire onions
*Plus, a river a mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is renown for its 6 lb. burgers.

I dont get why Hardee's is gettin so much negative press about this when places like Fudrucker's has been doin this for years. You can make your own burger with patties up to 1 lb with anything you want on it and its just as unhealthy but nobody is dyin from eatin
fudrucker's.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, dubbed the Thickburgers "food porn," the Monster "the fast-food equivalent of a snuff film."

"Food porn" is my new favorite phrase of the week.

Obesity-related deaths in 2000 were around 300,000-350,000. It's the second leading preventable cause of death behind cigarettes. I don't think the point is "OMG THIS IS THE FATTEST BURGER NE1 IN THE WORLD CAN POSIBLY GET AND NO ONE CAN PROVE DIFFERENT!," but here in a national market already saturated with 1,000+ calorie burgers comes something to annihilate 98% of them, and Hardee's is promoting the shit out of it too (beyond the media attention), so some people are using it as a somewhat interesting, topical jumping point to the issue of how dangerously fat (and getting fatter) America is. If you don't see the correlation between fast food, obesity, and death, then you probably don't think cigarettes cause cancer either. Of course, one doesn't make a difference if that's what you're implying, it's not technically arsenic or anything, but just as people have the "choice" to put this shit in their fat fucking faces, other people have the "choice" to say it's disgusting and I don't wanna be footed with the Medicare bill of some fat fuck who's eaten this kind of shit every day and is only too happy to see something bigger and "better."

My issue wouldn't be calories sat fat etc. I mean you are already eating fast food, you are fucked already.

But I would stick with a big mac, didn't Jack in the.coli teach you suckers anything thick meat + inproper preperation + bacteria = death. Thin patties 4 life

Scratch that, its probably iradiated ;)

lol. I ate at Fuddrucker's recently and it was amazing (and I'm not talking about their very, very slow service just to get a hamburger when only a few people were actually in the restaurant. 35-40 minutes wait for a hamburger. Yeesh!) Anyway, I had a 1/2 pound burger. I saw an example of the 1 pounder. It's almost as big as a person's heart! :p I don't see how anyone can eat that at one sitting unless they haven't eaten in quite a while.
