Hardee's Clogs Pipes with Monster Thickburger

Prepare for an onslaught of ground-beef nastiness. The Associated Press says fast-food chain Hardee's will roll out an $8-$10 million ad campaign touting its new Monster Thickburger.

The Thickburger, which rolled out a couple weeks ago, has provided late-night comics with plenty of material. And for good reason; this behemoth straps on two 1/3-lb. patties, four strips of bacon, three slices of American cheese, mayonnaise and a buttered (of course) sesame seed bun. Total calories: 1,417. Total fat: 107 grams. And that's just the burger. Toss in a large fry and a small Coke and those figures jump to 2,282 calories and 136 grams of fat. -- Mac
