Carl's Jr. is apparently getting in on the footlong fast food game with their new footlong cheeseburger. This cheeseburger is actually a foot long and is made on what looks to be sub bread.
I can't even wrap my mind around what it would be like to eat a footlong cheeseburger. So far, there has only been a confirmed sighting of the footlong cheeseburger at a Carl's Jr. in California, but if the Golden State makes this burger a hit, I wouldn't be surprised to see a national roll-out.
I am eagerly anticipating a commercial featuring Paris Hilton eating this footlong burger. Ohh yeah.
