Big Hardee
Hamburger made by Hardee's
The Big Hardee is a hamburger sandwich offered by Hardee's. The original Big Hardee was introduced in 1995 and was designed to compete against McDonald's Big Mac or Burger King's Whopper. It debuted in a commercial with the Big Mac sandwich. It had a jingle that goes, "More meat, more cheese, less money. La la la la la."
History and description
The Big Hardee was re-released in September, 2009. The sandwich features three 9:1 (9 patties = 1 pound) beef patties,[citation needed] two slices of American cheese, shredded lettuce[1] and Big Twin Sauce on a 4-inch[citation needed] seeded bun.[1] The sandwich averages 920 calories, 58g of fat and 1380 mg of sodium.[2]
Additionally, Hardee's sister chain, Carl's Jr. also introduced its version of the Big Hardee, The Big Carl.[citation needed]
The Big Hardee was reintroduced in response to McDonald's inclusion of Angus beef into its own sandwich lineup.[3]
