I detest those disgusting Carl's Junior ads. "If it doesn't get all
over you....", or whatever the tag line is. It's just nasty.

Ads like these are one of many things that make me realize I am no
longer the 'target' audience. Not that the CJ ad would EVER have
appealled to me....

Yep. Those ads were so off-putting I decided never to eat there. And I
never did.

A new Domino's (I think) ad where the dad and son have Oreo cookie
crumb mustaches and beards. Ick.

OTOH, I LOVE the "crantastic" commercial where the woman says, "This
isn't going to stop anytime soon...."

And I got the Snickers commercials words wrong - but it still makes me
laugh. This is the one with the toga guy and Viking guy standing by a
car. The theme is "feast."

Ahhh yes, that *is* how it went. I also think Carl's burgers are
better than most if not all FF-burgers. But that commercial revolts
me.

TammyM,

I ate at Carls Jr. exactly once about 25 years ago. It was a bacon western
cheeseburger. The "western" bbq sauce tasted like medicine and the bacon
was barely cooked. I didn't even finish it. I'm glad it sucked--they were
right next door to me!

I tried searching youtube for those commercials but tired of watching some
of the other really bad ones. They really don't put much emphasis on food
do they?!?

If they'd offer a free six-pack of beer deal instead, I'd give it some

The commercials are over the top with the sleazy sex theme (for lunch

No. Checkers/Rally's is the very bottom of the fast food barrel.

Hardee's/Carl's Junior is well above the middle of the pack. Like
Steve said, they're pretty good. I had a low carb Thickburger today
(no mayo, no ketchup, extra pickle, plus mustard), 2 Big Chefs (no
sauce, extra pickle, + mustard), and a water for a combined breakfast
and lunch.

The bad thing is how they always cook them over well. They cook them
WAY past the point of killing the most hardy and virulent bacteria.

Steak'n Shake has better burgers, but they insist that they're not
fast food. Yeah, Right.

No, they're not.
Worse, in alphabetical order:
A&W
Arby's
Checkers/Rally's
Dairy Queen
Jack in the Box
Sonic
Subway
Taco Bell

But yes, BK's fries have a "slight edge" on McD's.

Now there's a new one for peach iced tea. The guy is mixing up the letters
in the word tea and saying how it spells "eat" and that doesn't make sense
because you don't eat tea. The woman just looks at him and tells him if you
mix up the letters in the name "Brian", you get "brain" and that doesn't
make any sense because, "That's YOUR name!"

Those commercials make me want to go to Sonic and we don't have any Sonics
here.

I think they're stupid, too. Which reminds me about the how-to-eat taco
thread here. No, dribbling sauce all over your shirt is *not* the way
to eat, whether it's burgers or tacos or anything else.

My daughter liked going there when she was a toddler for their "chicken
stars". They were star shaped chicken nuggets. She didn't actually like to
eat them. She just liked the shape of them. She'd sit at her highchair for
an hour or so, happily playing with them. When she was little, she loved
the shapes of things. As a baby she would prop herself up in her
bassinette, running her fingers around the outline of Winnie the Pooh and
various characters on the print of the fabric.

No more than half an hour ago I visited their website, because something
in another thread made me think of them. I haven't been to one in
years. The menu doesn't look nearly as broad as I remember it.

Not food, but water. I saw an ad today for the PUR water purification
system that installs on your tap. No big deal, right? But wait! Want
cherry water? Pop in the cherry cartridge. Want grape water? Pop in the
grape cartridge.

Jill,

Good one! I shudder at the thought too!

The vitamin, protein or flavored water products bother me as well. They've
actually reduced supermarket shelf space for actual plain ol' water. Scary,
imho.

When Dannon got into the water biz, I suspected something had seriously
gone wrong... gone wrong... gone wrong...

Most any of the recent
pseudo-yogurt-like-overpriced-phony-health-product crap ads have been
truly pathetic and there seems to have been something of a flood of
them.

Ever had that Dannon water? It has no flavor whatsover. If it wasn't wet,
I wouldn't know it was water!

I'm sure I probably wouldn't actually go to them if they were here. I'm not

Are those the commercials where the couple winds up

You're making the assumption that the man is taking Cialis because *he*
wants to have sex. Why should his [equally-old] wife have to suffer
disappointment?

Thank you. All consensual, mutually enjoyable sex is good, no matter

Yes. They run over and over and over so we can experience the drama

have to snort every time I think of KFC as "real food"
