Hardee's is one case of epic fail. You may remember a few years back, Hardee's used to have a whole slew of different stuff on the menu. None of it particularly good for you, but at least there was some variation. fried chicken, roast beef sammiches, and sundry normal old burger joint fare. But a few years ago, all of that changed. They "revamped" their menu.

more like chucked-the-whole-thing-and-started-over...

and the results were terrifying. Like a nightmare you can't wake up from.

Last week, I shared a few things with you. Hardee's tries for the lose.

but yesterday, I saw something more terrifying.


there's also this horrid thing.

Yes, thank you Hardee's. You are the embodiment of epic fail.

Congrats. Here's your gold star AND your smiley face.

Hardees Strikes Again!

Even Good Food can be a BAD idea.

So, I like Red Robin. It tastes like real food which is quite a switch from the usual McDonalds or Burger king. But, even though like like Red Robin, I don't necessarily think it is always the best ideas.

here's why:



Yes, folks, this is the "Wise Guy burger". It is similar to a regular red robin burger, which, let's face it, is not good for you anyway, but they have the audacity to stick a few mozzarella sticks up there on top of said burger. I went to the official site and looked at the breakdown of nutrition facts. I am not going to share them here but, as the 'ole magic 8-Ball might say, "Outlook not good".

I have to admit though, I can never say no to those seriously awesome fries. They are like crack; if crack tastes like garlic potato goodness. Anyone have an opinion on fries? ...Or crack?...

I found more than the Red Robin nightmare burger. So i figure I will share a couple of other scary trends with you.

About a month ago, I saw a commercial, starring a cute Australian (?) guy. I had no idea where it was going. But, I definitely didn't know it was leading to THIS:



Yes, shrimp. There is little to say at this point. This is due to the fact that when you put TACO BELL and SEAFOOD in the same sentence, everyone instantly stops taking you seriously. Food poisoning, here we come. Except, I would not touch that thing someone else's TFP.

One more for today, then I must stop procrastinating and get my schoolwork on.

Ok, so most of us like grilled cheese sandwiches. If you don't, you are likely a commie. But Hardee's has come up with something pretty scary:



This is most definitely not a "grilled cheese". I think maybe the ad-execs behind Hardee's has gone a little slow. THAT is a burger. It's not even in disguise. It doesn't have a mask or a cape, or leap tall buildings in a single bound. It's a freaking burger. Get a grip people. The commercial is also pretty interesting. The message is basically, "you are not a real man if you eat grilled cheese. If you don't eat this and get a grilled cheese, your friends will laugh at you, girls will shun your company, and you will die miserable and alone."

Never thought that Fast Food ads could be gross AND sexist. Nice work Hardee's. Disappointing millions for over 40 years.

Shaky Start, but, here goes.


Okay. So my mad blog skills have yet to be fully honed. Or honed...at all. Whatever. There are more important things afoot. Like the first entry for a revamped blog! As the as-yet-to-be-properly-edited-title says; this is now and henceforth shall be The Blog of Weird-Terrible-Odd-Gross Food.

(Much like
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, only not necessarily about bad days, just bad food. After all, one's day must not necessarily suck because of bad food, right? Erg. Let's hope not.)

Without further ado, here is day #1's FOOD NIGHTMARE:



Behold people, one, or more, of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Just sayin'...

Time flies when you're...uh, crap, I forget the rest...

Three years since I made this thing. All but forgotten about it.

I know that everyone has a stupid blog but, I don't care. I need a place to stuff my random thoughts like the turkeys I've never actually made.

I guess the fundamentals have not changed in this amount of time. I still have countless bumper stickers on my obviously fuel-efficient small car. I still geek out like crazy over school and all school-related endeavors. And I still watch chick flicks as though there were some real danger that Hollywood will stop churning them out like some sort of slutty butter.

Tonight feels like an Amy Adams kind of night.

I think that I will go make that happen. First, Julie & Julia; then Enchanted; and then, Drop Dead Gorgeous.

I like this plan.
