Big Carl? That\'s not what she said. |
All the McDonalds burgers got fluffier once they started sticking them in boxes. |
There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator. |
size aside.. wow.. they both look - disgusting. |
I want to know where they got the lettuce for the commercial, cuz wasn\'t at any McDonalds or Hardees (Carl Jr. east of
the Mississippi) I have ever been in. |
what!?! that\'s outrageous!!! |
Based on the intersection you provided that said is near where you work, I can only assume you work at the Pure Gold. |
And just what is holding the two patties in the Big Carl up? It certainly can\'t be the lettuce. |
Might be good to do a follow-up and weigh the different components of the burger, meat, bun etc. |
One Hot Carl please! |
The Big Carl is obviously \"bigger\" based on the weight, but it doesn\'t dwarf the Big Mac like it does in the
commercials. I mean, check out the big, juicy, beefy patties on the Carl in the commercial compared to those tiny
little mini patties on the commercial Big Mac. Looks like the patty size is closer in real life.
Also, does anyone else find it somewhat puzzling that the Carl patties in the commercial have grill marks on the side?
That doesn\'t seem to make much sense to me. |
Most photographed food is not made to be edible. I saw a Food network \"challenge\" where they made food to be
photographed. They had ways to make the lettuce crisper and the cheese to look melted. |
The prices are outrageous. Who would pay that for a stupid hamburger? Make one yourself, right? |
In the add, they\'ve got to be using titanium lettuce if it\'s supposed to be supporting 1/2 a pound of meat like that.
It looks like those (painfully) large patties are levitating.
P.S. When you said that the Carl\'s weighs over half a pound, my stomach *literally* hurt. I can\'t imagine trying to
digest that much beef in one sitting. |
But the Big Carl at least had a greater mass—and therefore more substance—than the Big Mac. Of course, taste is a very
important factor too, though the ad apparently made no claims about it.
Rob, I\'m still holding out that you\'ll put Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy in
with these other robots. |
 Bleep Blorp |
Here\'s an interesting article on just this thing (hope it goes through. Otherwise, do a google search on \"food
advertising tricks\" -- it should be the first link):
http://pbskids.org/dontbuyit/advertisingtricks/foodadtricks_burger1.html |
Domo arigato! |
I cant find it now, but just a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a video of a professional food photographer showing
how they make those \"perfect burgers\" (and fries) for photo shoots. The buger was not actually cooked, just seared and
painted, and they glue on the sesame seeds. In searching for it I ran across this page which detailed some of those
steps... http://money.aol.com/special/canvas/_a/fast-food-ads-vs-reality/20070905101709990001 |
exterminate, Exterminate. Exterminate! EX-TERM-MI-NATE!!!!! |
Just eat me. |
\"Usually fast food companies primp and position their food to look as good as possible on camera.\"
No kidding. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUjz_eiIX8k |
beep boopbeep boop |
You should move your \"big carl\" closer to the camera to match the size of the ad when compared with the big mac. Then
see how much closer to the camera the big carl must be to match the ad. |
It will never match the size of the burger in the commercial, no matter how close it is to the camera. It is too flat. |
i haven\'t had a Big Mac in years, but got a coupon for one recently so figured i\'d give it a shot. it was truly
disgusting! it tasted like a cross between a cheap burger and a cheap fish sammich. maybe if the ratio of meat to
lettuce and tartar sauce was changed it would be edible, otherwise, blecccch! these are nothing to brag about. |
The real question is: how does that magic lettuce in the TV big carl support the weight of the rest of the burger? He\'s
wearing lifts! One is glad to be of service. |
It\'s clear to me that the Carl\'s packaging compresses it a little to make it look shorter, while the Big Mac box
preserves it\'s original height. The Carl burger could be the size it looks in the commercial before it\'s put into the
package. |
carls wins |
Carls Jr does not compute |
Maybe they should rename the Big Carl. How about calling it the \"Whammy Burger\"?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeGk1bgBa7s |
Loves me some hamburger. |
If Carl\'s Jr wanted to make an effective ad, all they\'d need to do is show a picture of an actual Big Mac. I don\'t
understand why they used a fake not-half-bad-looking Big Mac in the commercial. From one of the best Michael Bay films, Transformers to your Kids meal box! |
\"I\'ve been watching a lot of Sacramento Kings basketball games lately\"
What a masochist. No wonder you need two burgers - depressed people eat more.
|
Eat both burgers, we are fattening you up for the ROBOT HOLOCAUST! |
Insert wisecracking comment here---> |
It\'ll take more than a Big Mac or a Big Carl to fill a black hole. |
Your Big Carl top bun looks like it was broken and glued back together. |
Not a surprise. |
If they actually served you what they show in the commercials you would be eating paint, plastic, toothpics & clearcoat.
They prepare/mold/perform \"David Copperfield Shit\" to magically transform it into what looks like the most
mouthwatering burger. They should have minimum wage fresh out of high school kids mash them into a wrapper after being
slapped together as fast as possible so you can see what you will eventually get at the restaraunt. |
to be fair, the carl does look like someone stepped on it before they gave it to you. |
Both are a guaranteed case of the hot shits |
How much did McDonald\'s pay you to put this page up? More Blatant blogvertising from the cockeyed spamsite. |
The smaller size of the Big Carl is a benefit, not a fault! It has a greater mass at a reduced volume, making it more
efficient. It lets you eat it in less bites, letting it live up to the monicker of \"fast food.\" |
I find it odd that the bottom layer of lettuce in the big carl is as think as one of the meat patties. its obvious that
their picture has been modified. Though one thing that was probably missed by Rob is the \"Squash Factor.\" Depending on
what skillfully trained employee gently wrapped and delivered the burger would have a large impact on the final
appearance, which is why the big mac box is the better burger container. |
Let\'s stop by the choke-and-puke and throw some groceries down our throats. |
|
what shit is this |
mmmm burger... It is highly ironic that Carl even made the BigMac look better than real life. |
eat it and die |
Think about the quality of meat they use. They can make profit on a half pound of meat for $2.50. |
I don\'t know how anyone can eat that garbage. If you want to stop global warming, stop eating meat and dairy
products... farm animals account for more greenhouse gasses than transportation, according to the UN. |
I can\'t believe you eat at McDonalds, that has to be the worst thing that could ever be called food on this horrible
planet. |
No thanks, i\'ll have the sushi please.... |
Does everyone understand that I didn\'t go to these two fast food restaurants to eat their food? |
That middle bun is a killer. |
just looking at them makes me want to poop |
Carl, Jr. are such liars! |
Looks like the lettuce was where they let the air out at. |
THere\'s a german website which has side-by-side comparisons of food packaging and the photos of the ACTUAL food
product....very amusing!
http://pundo3000.com/htms/1.htm
|
They\'re equally devoid of nutrition, no matter what the size.
Mmmmm, devoid of nutrition.... |
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo |
All the McDunnulds burgurs got fluffier when they hired that burger fluffer from West Hollywood.
& I don\'t know about y\'all, but I\'d take the Hardee\'s/Carl\'sJr. burger if it were half the size and twice as
expensive. |
absolutely love it. good work here |
Notice how they use leaf lettuce for the promo, but iceberg in the real world? |
the height difference looks to be slightly bigger than the middle piece of bread. The mcdonalds packaging probably
better preserves the height of the buns.
and yes, if you check the lighting on the top bun in the commercial, you can see the carls jr burger is pulled farther
forward. |
Either way, they\'re both disgusting. Even the motto, \"quality is better than quantity\" doesn\'t mean much when you
figure that those burgers are made from ammonia treated beef trimming sludge from about 200 different cows each burger.
Blech. No thanks. |
It\'s apparent that McDonalds employs \"Fluffers\" for their Big Macs
Now wouldn\'t you feel just a little weird if your daughter worked as a \"Fluffer\" in the industry?
Hmmmm now where have I heard that before??? |
my friend place both burgers near ants nest and wait two days see what happen cheers boof head |
The commercial\'s lettuce reminds me of V.I.N.C.E.N.T. The reality is more like B.O.B. |
A food stager assembled Big Carl for the TV shoot with the crispest pieces of lettuce that could be found, and also
toasted the top/bottom buns to make the burger as visually tall as possible. They have to use the actual food product
in the ad, but they can manipulate the appearance for cosmetic and visual appeal.
I think that Big Carl is also subject to a certain amount of \"shrinkage\" when he\'s wrapped up tight in his
protective covering, and he ends up not so Big. |
This is informative, and I shall purchase one of each someday to do my own comparisons, in case your experience was
merely a fluke, as per my calculations. |
All that seems to be missing is alot of bun. For the price, I\'d go with the Big Carl. I\'ve always wondered, can you
sue for false advertising?
So many times i\'ve gotten a burger that looks like it was thrown together in the dark, it would be nice to be able to
hold them to what they offer. |
If you look, Big Mac has an extra layer of bread, which contributes the height. But Big Carl weighs more, in beef. As
for how they look in the commercial, all of it is food photography to make it look more appealing, all about getting the
customer in to buy. If I had to pick one, it would be Big Carl\'s, rather have the meat than the bread. |
I like the mcfishwich. |
wow thats wow |
Both burgers look horrible. |
Your Big Carl was flattened. I have had 3 of them in last 6 month and they always tend to be taller than what you are
portraying in your pictures.
Perhaps next time, you should order dine in and take pictures of it instead of squishing it on the way home. |
The Carl still looks a lot more appetizing. I am in NY and have never been to a Carl Jr |
Does Not Compute! Does Not Compute! Fast Food chains do not lie. Advertising is supposed to show the truth
I...Can\'t.....Continue.....to....Process.....Illogical.... |
WOW!!!! YOU ARE DUMB, you act as if you just enlightened us to this new phenomenon. No crap they make it look bigger,
better, tastier, thicker etc. You have far too much time on your hands |
? but.. the Big Carl weighs more...
?? :$ |
Big Carl tastes better! |
I would choose neither. I\'ll only eat burgers at locally owned joints. No more corporate burger\'s for me. Plus, most
local joints will offer organic meat. MUCH MUCH MUCH TASTIER!
Suckers. |
You should scale to the Big Carl in the same way that you scaled to the Big Mac; just so that these possibilities may be
fulfilled. Also, include rulers in your shots. I love this. :) |
I\'ve always wanted to compare TV burgers with the real thing. I\'m glad I Stumbled upon this. :) Pretty funny
stuff.
Jenna |
The Big Mac is like 66% bread. The patties of the Big Carl are much bigger too. From personal experience the Big Carl
tases better too. |
but how did it taste?
and also its like a buck less too. |
If only DeBarge would write another song about me. |
Your a faggot! goddamit u fucker I |
It\'s a \"small wonder\" the Carl\'s Jr burger is a \"small wonder\" compared to the Big Mac. |
Truth that you can\'t trust ANY advertsing. |
Honestly, you couldn\'t pay me to eat either one. Did you know most beef used in fast food burgers is treated with
AMMONIA to make it \"safe\" to eat? Supposedly it kills e-coli or whatever, but 1. AMMONIA?!?! and 2. It doesn\'t even
work that well- there has been e-coli found on these so called safer burgers.
Watch Food Inc. it\'s incredible what goes into the food we eat these days :P |
haha nice double check. it does look farther away |
you should have shown them at the size in the commercial then shown how far forward you had to force the perspective to
get it to look like the commercial. just morbid curiosity |
Big Carl, I am disappoint. |
I\'ve studied advertising and practically all ads for fast food do not feature what was ever real food, instead it is a
computerized image created by a graphic designer... so in your argument, technically both burgers are completely
fictional. |
gross...both of them, and anything else that comes out of those places |
wow im hungry now lol |
The Big Carl id squashed in your pictures and probably fresh made and not packaged. |
I AM HELLA GAY |
The Big Mac cost more because it had a fancy box that kept it fluffy. The Big Carl is less wasteful and magically
delish |
on okinawa mcdonalds looks exactly like it does on tv |
Nobody cares about the mid bread slice of the big mac, you should try to compare without it : less bread, better
hamburger, for me. |
i was craving a big mac one day and hubby wanted hardees, so i got a big hardee. i agree with you. they need to be sued
for fraud!! |
If you remove the middle slice from the Big Mac - you will end up with something height of Big Carl. You are actually
paying 89 cents for that middle slice. |
When you pay $2.50 for more meat and less bread, I don\'t see what the problem is. |
NICE!!! |
the weight of the product is more indicative of the actual value you are getting. the fact that the big mac is not
\"squished\" comes from the fact that they package it in a box, not wrap it in paper. |
I would pick Carls Jr. over McDonalds any day.
1) The french fries I get are always BURNING HOT.
2) The burgers and chicken sandwiches are actually pretty good. |
I feel the need to point out that the Big Mac has an extra slice of bread between the meat patties. If you take that
out, it is probably shorter then the Big Carl. You are basically paying an extra dollar for a slice of filler. |
Although I think both of those look pretty revolting, I\'d say that\'s some pretty intentional misleading being done on
Big Carl\'s part. However, by the looks of his name, Big Carl isn\'t someone you wanna pick a fight with. |
Where is the Big Boy comparison |
If you want to try something different next time you\'re at McD\'s, order a Double Quarter Pounder with cheese and tell
them to build it using the Big Mac\'s toppings. (special sauce, lettuce, pickles, onion). You get a supersized Big Mac
with no center bun. It\'s really what the Big Mac SHOULD be. |
No! Did you even taste them? I know the Carl\'s burger tastes better, and it\'s bigger by weight which really should be
all that matters. When you factor in price, it\'s no contest. Carl\'s wins. It may be fluffed up to look taller, but it
is still clearly the bigger burger. Plus McDonald\'s didn\'t even give you napkins - it seems to me that besides the
height controversy, Carl\'s blows Big Mac away. Plus the height disparity is mainly a product of the packaging. |
You\'ve gotta be kidding me. The burger shown in the commercial is bigger than the big mac! In real life, it is much,
much shorter! The commercial is 100% focused on showing the two compared, and Carls Jr. depiction is completely
misleading. You are allowed to make your burger look good, but you are not allowed to make it _taller_ than things it is
_not taller_ than! Sure, maybe you don\'t like bread, but you can\'t create the illusion that Carls has replaced the
bread with meat! |
Since either of these \"food\" items is made of shit...and therefore poison. I\'ll take the smaller one. On second
thought. I\'d rather starve. This comparison is fucking stupid. Which is better? A pound of death or a half pound of
death? |
The Flat Carl looks so depressing. |
wheres the head of lettuce thats what plump it |
I still like burger king more |
Yay for false advertising! |
Take the EXTRA piece of bread of the middle of the Big Mac. McDonald\'s wins via extra bread. I\'ll take the flatter
one. |
Whenever I see burgers compared directly to their television ads, I lose my appetite. I\'m not sure what compels me to
eat McDonald\'s. I\'ve made cracks about them putting some addictive chemical in their food, and I\'m more certain of
it with each passing day. |
Both look pretty gross to me. :( |
the only reason its a whole top bun bigger is cause there an extra middle bun. You\'re basically paying another dollar
for an extra piece of bread, I\'d never eat either but if I had to choose one I\'d get the Big Carl cause its a dollar
less and theyre both the same thing...shit |

That\'s one sad looking Carl\'s burger on top of every thing you pointed out too |
As someone who spent more time of his high school days working at McDonald\'s, I can tell you from experience that the
Big Mac patties are each 1/10 lb (1.6 oz.). That\'s the size of the normal hamburger patties at McD\'s.
The Big Carl uses two 1/4 lb patties. Therefore, comparing a Big Mac to a Big Carl is like comparing little apples to
big apples.
A real comparison would be a double quarter pounder at McD\'s. Just add lettuce and \"special sauce\" (1000 Island
dressing). |
How far in front of the Big Mac would you have to push the Big Carl to make it look bigger? |
What disgusting stuff Americans eat. What a clueless people for wolfing that down with glee. You all deserve to be
obese. |
i\'ll still take the big carl. it looks like it tastes better, aside from size. |
I recommend to the court that we place both companies in prison for fraud. The even crappier Big Carl is the only reason
why the Big Mac looks even remotely like shown on the pictures, and my Big Macs are usually a lot flatter than that. |
EXTERMINATE! |
As soon as I finished reading this, I looked at the TV across the room and there was a Burger King vs McDonalds ad that
compared the size of the their famous burgers. Thank you for helping me question this from now on. |
I heard that food used in commercials isn\'t even edible. It\'s plastic and such and sprayed with water and stuff like
that. :P |
Wow, that Big Carl looks like shit.
Big Mac isn\'t looking too good either. They should both get locked away for fraud. Everyone knows they are never like
they are in the commercials, but it should be criminal really. |
What I don\'t get is in the ad it shows the Big mac with leaves of lettuce on it, why not show the shredded lettuce that
comes on a big mac.. they made the big mac look better in their commercial than it actually is.
Why is Carl\'s trying to make Mcfood look better? I think it\'s a conspiracy. |
your like a mini version of mythbusters, way to go rod! |
So though i believe there is some photographic trickery happening i think there are some factors that are not included:
1. The big mac has 1 more piece of bread than the BC, and also the lettuce is shredded instead of in leaves. these make
it thicker.
2. Take into consideration the packaging; The BC is wrapped, compressing the bread. The BM is boxed, leaving the bread
uncompressed.
|
You have too much of it.... |
My issue is that the \"Fiction\" line area is pretty much the same thickness of the \"lettuce\" being portrayed in the
commercial. Maybe in zero-gravity, the leaf lettuce would be able to maintain over an inch of thickness while
supporting the two beef patties and bun and toppings. There\'s your real lie - maybe you should carve all of those
ingredients out of wood and paint them in order to more-replicate the burgers that are portrayed in commercials. What a
sad world we live in named \"Reality\". |
either way, you have to admit the Carl is bigger in weight, and the only reason the Big Mac would be taller is because
it has three buns, instead of two. i\'d totally eat that Carl any day over the Big Mac |
It is intresting to see where with in the structural make up of the burgers that the height is lost. Quite clearly the
lettuce in the carl Jr ad is on steroids and has given a lot of height to the ad picture, the burgers are also squished
together more in reality, however the buns in both appear to be fairly accurate. Fast food is what makes us americans so
high on the worlds fat list anyway so avoid all this crap at all costs! |
The Carl\'s Jr. is wider, the Carl\'s Jr. is heavier, but the Big Mac came in a spacious roomy box, not wrapped tight in
a bag, so it didn\'t get compressed.
Caveat: I prefer the Carl\'s Jr. over Big Mac because Carl\'s is flamebroiled, not fried! :) |
I\'ll still take the Big Carl. You said yourself, the Big Carl weighs more. All that it is missing is the middle bun,
and who really wants more bread? |
you didn\'t have to do all that work. |
No wonder the Big Mac was fluffier...it has Styrofoam as a filler!!! |
which tasted better? |
Indeed, Carl\'s Junior fudged their facts. HOWEVER! Weighing more is a good thing. The meat patties were definately
thicker according to your pictures. And note how much of the fictional space of the Carl\'s sandwich would actually be
taken up my the big mac\'s useless third piece of bread. The Mach is taller, but it\'s height is made up mostly of
bread, it\'s more expensive and weighs less.
I say the Carl\'s Junior burger is definately bigger and a better value. Now go do some situps. |
But which one tastes better?! |
I live in Australia and we dont have Big Carl here. But we do have McDonalds and Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King) If I had
to choose between the two stores I would pick Hungry Jacks every time. As far as I am concerned McDonalds is pure
rubbish! Their burgers dont taste like burgers and are a hell of alot smaller than Hungry Jacks burgers. The Big Carl
burger in the above photos may not look as nice as the McDonalds burger but I\'ll bet it would taste soooo much better. |
I think it\'s SO ridiculous how good they make them look on the commercials compared to how they look in real life.
Mostly I was just excited to read this post because I\'m from Placerville and I moved to LA and it was cool to see
someone from the region :) go kings! |
u have slightly too much time on your hands... |
wow! the not so big carl is smaller then the 6$ burger |
YUM!! |
wow,, i hate burgers.. :) |
Obviously Carl\'s will primp their burger for advertisements, but you\'d think they would \'un-primp\' the McD\'s...that
advert big mac looks a lot like the ones McD\'s themselves use... |
Hey look it\'s obviously the middle bun of the big mac that makes it taller. They are just a little smarter than big
carl in marketing. You said it yourself, the big carl weighs more. It\'s obvious to see that there is a lot more meat
in the big carl vs the big mac hence the big carl IS bigger. I guess the middle bun marketing ploy fooled you. |
Stop eating crappy junk food, stupid Americans. It\'s all bad for you, doesn\'t matter how much the adverts lie to you. |
in the UK, this would be false advertising and I\'m sure that macdonalds would make a complaint..
we don\'t have carls jr (or sr) though, and macdonalds sucks so I don\'t care. |
what an apalling waste of sawdust, to make such a thing.
be interesting to see how much [sugar, msg, high fructose corn syrup] is in each of those, and how much exposure it
would take to switch addicts from one to the other.. |
fucking crap its sooo visible tht the burger has been pushed down n squuueeezes |
RAOOOR IM A LION |
Just go to In-n-Out. |
Both still are bad |
Why\'s this... important? And btw, newsflash: everybody knows food doesn\'t match the photos and advertisers lie.
Why this page is on StumbleUpon is beyond me. |
Big Carl? THE BIG CARL? EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINAAAAAAAAAATE!
YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS! YOU MUST BE DESTROYED! |
The fiction appears to be partly fluffy-bun and partly due to the thickest bed of lettuce I\'ve ever seen. |
Does anyone actually eat this crap? |
You will note that the extra height of the big mac comes from the extra piece if bread. Personally, I wouldn\'t eat
either one. Both are loaded with fat and excess calories. Considering that obesity has become the #1 health problem in
the USA, it won\'t be long before health care plans ban consumption of these. |
I think it should be noted that there is more than one important ingredient in a burger. All of the ingredients are
important. A burger with not enough sauce and bread is like a mai tai without enough pineapple juice. |
Actually, sir, the Mcdonald\'s burger is only taller due to the middle bun, granting it at least an inch of extra
height. I recommend running the test again, this time taking into account weight, price, nutritional value, and
tastiness. This data is unavailable to me, for I live in the south east... We don\'t have Carl Jr.s here. We got Micky
D\'s, BK, Wendy\'s, Hardee\'s, and the more expensive Five Guys. When I\'m strapped for cash and hungry, I begrudgingly
resort to a few of McDonald\'s McDoubles. |
Boo Carl Jr\'s! |
I worked at McD\'s many years ago whilst at college, the taught way to assemble a BigMc should take around 30 seconds
per burger when made in a production line 40 - 50 seconds when made individually. In reality you made them in 20 seconds
and 25 - 30 seconds respectively, any slower and you got fired... simple as. They never looked like they were supposed
to on the menu cards. |
Why\'d you name yourself \"Voltron\"?
I don\'t know... maybe cause it\'s SUPER badass... |
Jeezz you american bro`s Get a life and go to Pizza Hut/Dominoes problem and debate solved.lol |
Here I thought \"double check\" was going to mean that the double-size burger cost twice as much. |
all size comparisons aside, the Big Carl is everything the Big Mac wishes to be. |
too much time on your hands |
I once worked at McDonalds and wanted to make the Big Macs look like the commercials... It took me 3 times as long to
make them pretty as opposed to slapping them together...that was way back when they had the \"McFeast\". |
Perhaps the larger mass of Big Carl has caused a reduction in the fluffiness quotient of overall Big Carl burger-system? |
C\'mon now. What would you rather eat? Just recently McDonalds started advertising that their meat was 100% beef, wtf
was it before?!? Pig bung? I\'ll take the Carl\'s any day over McShit. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, EXTERMINATE!!! |
You McDonald\'s haters are all girly-men.
Eat the Big Mac and the Carl\'s Jr. burger and then kick some ass! |
What\'s more amazing than the burger comparison is the comments. There are so many weird people in the world it amazes
me. Common themes: You have too much time on your hands (we\'ll, you\'re reading it right). Stupid Americans eat junk
(LOL...ok). The burgers look disgusting (LOL..ok and your point).
Funniest comment:... way to go Rod. (LOL..I don\'t know why it cracks me up when people get the name wrong. It\'s just
funny for some reason).
|
Thank you for your keen eye and camera skills. I pray next time you will make a video re-enactment of the scene in the
fast food restaurant from the movie \"Falling Down\" starring Michael Douglas. Then you could compare how many bullets
are used between the 2 different fast food factories. And make sure you include some hot blondes in the video. and some
Whitesnake music. |
I like the in-and-out burger cuz it reminds me of sex. And sex is tasty. and sex makes babies. and babies are tasty. and
not flat. and babies have names like carl. and mac. and they can get big. and the more they eat, the more they poop. and
that means diapers. we need more diapers. the land fills are empty. fill\'em up with diapers from babies that eat at
fast food palaces. that are made from sex, after eating burgers. i love america. |
i dont think carl is honestly boating that his burger is taller than the big mac...his point is it has more meat. duh.
and it looks like it does. let the man sell his gruel |
Now I\'m hungry...thanks... |
The Big Carl was not necessarily moved forward. If you consider the fact that both of those burgers are almost
definitely fake, then they may have just made the fake Big Carl bigger than the fake Big Mac. |
The pictures are not altered in the commercial however the burgers are made to be the very best possible to lure you in |
That Big Carl looks very much like it has been squashed, perhaps by being wrapped too tightly? Put it in a box (or
leave off the wrapping entirely) and it will stand much taller.
Besides, though it is depicted as such in the commercial, there is not claim that the Big Carl is actually -taller-
than the Big Mac. Just larger and less expensive.
Your example backs up both of these claims. |
lol dude the big carl looks nothing like that you obviously smushed it down and the big mac is never that tall i dont
know what mcdonalds or carls jr your went to but everyone ive been to has had the opposite results. the big carl isnt
as big as it says in the commercial but it still tastes 100 times better than mcdonalds |
You\'re better off with a hot carl. Look it up on urbandictionary.com |
both of those burgers looked like the were slapped together in a rush.
chance that this was purchased at lunchtime? |
The reason why is because the big mac and allot of the sandwiches on the McDonalds menu had a bunch of quality
complaints about the burgers being smashed and not as big as what was advertised hence the 100% recycled box it sits in.
The Carl and Hardies sandwiches is still wrapped in paper which = more handling. Its all processed junk made with
chemicals I wouldn\'t eat any of them |
Did you know the burgers they use in commercials are actually raw meat airbrushed to look cooked? Makes the burger look
plumper. And the lettuce is plastic... hence such the big difference between real and picture. |
I think you have too much time on your hands...just a thought. |
Regardless of the Big Carl\'s posture, it is bigger in diameter, and weight. The advertisement took a few liberties to
show that you get more burger. The Big Carl is still cheaper and not 2/3 bread. |
Or instead of suing for fraud you can just be happy that you got more meat for less money. |
EXTERMINATE ALL BIG CARLS! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
Also, they make me belch smoke flavoring for days. |
It\'s still more for your money. Hardee\'s is the clear winner. It was just unfortunate that someone working there
decided to sit on your burger after they wrapped it. |
dude i live like 3 minutes from those restaraunts, crazy, and uh theyre both gross |
The Big Mac has an extra bun between the patties that makes it higher.
For my money, I\'d go for the Big Carl!
|
The Carl\'s Jr burger is definitely closer to the camera than the Big Mac. They both look terrible, though. |
Carl\'s spent millions in advertising to trick me into thinking that their big mound of shit was a bigger mound of shit
than mcD\'s mound of shit!
Dear author, thank you for so carefully comparing two almost identical horrible experiences. Maybe next time you can
rate which kind of rapist gives one the longest and fullest rape. |
hope it gives you a heart attack, meat slob |

Here\'s the link..whoops |
burgers in commercials are not cooked properly which gives them their size, and also put together with a lot more care
to make them look more appetizing. commercials=fiction where food is concerned. |
I can\'t help but to be devils advocate...
While yes, the Big Mac in actuality looks bigger in real life, also look at the packaging they both come in. The Big
Mac is saved from being smashed down while the big Carl isn\'t. If you look at the size of the buns and the size of the
meat patties, there is the truth to the marketing. |
Is carl Jr.\'s the same as Hardees? Cause if they are I would love it. |
thats not a real big mac burger obviously. look at how much meat there is on that fake! alright, i\'m not saying that
big carl is any better. i\'m just saying, i can go to a grocery store and make a way better burger for way cheaper. |

I love that you took the time and then also put it where it can be found. Love it. Thanks. |
see name |
I do agree that these are rip offs. (both of them). but i do also still think htat the big carl is still deffinitly more
food. for one its way bigger in circumference and also i think its only shorter because it doesnt have that extra bun in
the middle. That bun is just a waste anyway. |
based on your pics; big mac = more bread, big carls = more meat. |
It seems that your big carl was squished a bit. Maybe if you go to a different Carls Jr. and get another one, we can get
a better comparison. |
Give me 10.4oz\'s anyday
|
I worked as a Big Mac Fluffer in the 70\'s. Mayor Mcheese is a freak. |
Both of those look aborted. Terrible. I would not eat either. Cool article though. |
Rob,
How long of a lunch break do you get?
I once got in trouble for trying to fax a slice of pizza. |
It\'s called \"food art\". hahaha....fooled ya.
Also, food artists use white glue when shooting cereal photos to put on the cereal boxes. Doesn\'t soak up into the
cereal like milk does.
Don\'t be fooled again. You don\'t think a McDonalds advertisement is going to let the Carl look bigger than the
Big Mac, do ya ? |
tqvemlbjzvpbqhscbyabbstnitafrx |
only reason big mac is taller is because of the middle bun...take that out and they are about the same...minus a cheese
on the big mac |
And yet, the Big Carl is actually better (tasting) than the Big Mac, and has more bang for the buck, too boot. |
Big Carl Calories = 920
Big Mac Calories = 540 |
You, sir, are clearly in the pocket of Big Farmer. |
(Get it?) |
I like how both burgers make rednecks fat as hell .. funny |
Back when I was in college (\'95?) I had a burger at a chain on UCD\'s campus (Carls\' Jr? don\'t remember, but it was
in the \"Silo\" with a Taco Bell). It took forever to get my food, but when I did it was the best looking burger I\'ve
ever seen come off an assembly line. The lady at the counter apologized and explained that the Sac Bee was doing a
story about fast food on college campuses and needed to photograph a sample for their story. I\'ve been disappointed
with every burger since. |
I notice that, in particular, the TV burgers feature leaf (\"real\") lettuce while the real burgers use iceberg. Isn\'t
that sort of misrepresentation technically illegal? |
.89 cents for a piece of bun? That is the difference in size....
buy the Carls |
You have too much time on your hands. |
Big mac has an extra slice of bread, you have to think about. |
The big mac patties look like flat poop, while the carl jr. patties look like flat poop. both companies should go to
prison. |
You the man, rob! Can we get a \'how much is inside\' comparison complete with meat, chese, and bread weights? |
The difference is the 1 dollar 39 cents worth of bun in the middle of the Mac.
I\'d take the big Carl any day as better value for money. ( That is if I ever ate that crap) |
Immaterial if there\'s no Carl\'s Jr. anywhere near you. |
From the extra photos page in you \"Rematch\", one might think you have an interest in making McD look good, with a bit
of deceptive imagery of your own. Note that only one of the photos is labeled as to which burger is which- but that
photo is flipped with regards to all of the others on the page- the Carl\'s Jr is on the left in all of the other
photos. And the photos above and below the labeled one show a clearly larger diameter burger above the labeled McD-
which is actually the Carl\'s Jr! |
Whoa, slow down there CPeter. I kept the burgers in the same spot and took a photo from the back side, for full
disclosure, so you wouldn\'t think I was choosing a \"favorite\" side on either burger. That\'s what made the burgers
appear to switch positions. |
