The future of print journalism? Cheeseburgers!

Yes, I am aware that it is April 1st. But AFAIK, but this appears to be legit Carl's Jr. news:

We teamed up with Men's Health to  create three delicious Charbroiled Turkey Burgers. They're just as indulgent as our other burgers, but under 500 calories. Available in Original, Guacamole or Teriyaki.*

For one thing, TV spot has the Cod itching to join an anarcho-vegan lesbian terrorist cell. No shit, the ad is Ms. Turkey walking down a dock, eating a cheeseburger, and removing her dress to reveal a bikini with a print of little turkey burgers. Rest assured, it is the real Ms. Turkey.)

For another thing, it's a strange partnership. Looking on the googles for a linkable thing for this post, "Men's Health" + Carl's Jr. pulled up stories from MH about how bad the food at Carl's Jr. is for you. Lke so:

Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Guacamole Bacon Burger with Medium Natural Cut Fries and 32-oz Coke

1,810 calories /92 g fat (29.5 g saturated, 2 g trans) / 3,450 mg sodium

Of all the gut-growing, heart-threatening, life-shortening burgers in the drive-thru world, there is none whose damage to your general well-being is as potentially catastrophic as this. A bit of perspective is in order: This meal has the caloric equivalent of 9 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts, the saturated fat equivalent of 30 strips of bacon, and the salt equivalent of 10 large orders of McDonald’s French fries!

But now, they are like besties, and have teamed up to cobrand a turkey burger. As one blog put it, "if you can't beat 'em, co brand with 'em." Like the Auburn/Nascar collab, this is one pairing that must leave both outfits feeling a little dirtier. 

 

*"Original, guacalmole, or teryaki"? As my new crush Pam would say, what the shit?
