A giant yellow star that squints harder than Michael Dudikoff is suing a clown that’s married to a woman named Cricket. That’s right, another war is happening and this time It’s Personal. It seems that Carl’s Jr. is feeling litigious against Jack in the Box for a series of commercials that are currently running. Slow news day I guess…
I could give a flying pig’s eye about who is going to win this one. Jack in the Crack uses onion in their mayo and CJ’s hasn’t made a decent burger since ol’ Carl was ousted back in ‘93.
This is why the rest of the world laughs at us.
On a personal note, I used to be a Box Boy/Bagger/Convenience Clerk…whatever the kids call it these days, and one time I had the pleasure of bagging the items that were being purchased by none other than Carl N. Karcher (Mr. Carl’s Jr.). This was at Alpha-Beta #28, on Euclid at La Palma in Anaheim, CA, sometime during the year of 1991. Mr. Karcher was a very nice old gentleman. I remember that he only bought a bunch of ketchup and beer, something that I found odd at the time but which I perfectly understand now.

Now that we live on the right side (in more ways than geography) of the Big Muddy, I want to get to the bottom of the Carls, Jr./Hardees connection. Out West, you got Carl’s Jr. and out east it is Hardees. Seems they got the same yellow star and same shit menu.
Is there an evil genius behind this?

The parent company of Carl’s Jr. purchased Hardees a few years ago…
On another personal note…I worked at Hardees in Buena Vista, VA. This was in 1990 and I had the pleasure of working there when Days of Thunder was released.
Oh yes, good times.

So, who had the “star” logo first?

The star comes from Carl’s Jr. Hardees had a, er…rectangle? I can’t quite remember…but they definitely did not have the star when I worked for them.
