The Big Carl is obviously \"bigger\" based on the weight, but it doesn\'t dwarf the Big Mac like it does in the
commercials. I mean, check out the big, juicy, beefy patties on the Carl in the commercial compared to those tiny
little mini patties on the commercial Big Mac. Looks like the patty size is closer in real life.
Also, does anyone else find it somewhat puzzling that the Carl patties in the commercial have grill marks on the side?
That doesn\'t seem to make much sense to me.

In the add, they\'ve got to be using titanium lettuce if it\'s supposed to be supporting 1/2 a pound of meat like that.
It looks like those (painfully) large patties are levitating.
P.S. When you said that the Carl\'s weighs over half a pound, my stomach *literally* hurt. I can\'t imagine trying to
digest that much beef in one sitting.

But the Big Carl at least had a greater mass—and therefore more substance—than the Big Mac. Of course, taste is a very
important factor too, though the ad apparently made no claims about it.

I find it odd that the bottom layer of lettuce in the big carl is as think as one of the meat patties. its obvious that
their picture has been modified. Though one thing that was probably missed by Rob is the \"Squash Factor.\" Depending on
what skillfully trained employee gently wrapped and delivered the burger would have a large impact on the final
appearance, which is why the big mac box is the better burger container.

A food stager assembled Big Carl for the TV shoot with the crispest pieces of lettuce that could be found, and also
toasted the top/bottom buns to make the burger as visually tall as possible. They have to use the actual food product
in the ad, but they can manipulate the appearance for cosmetic and visual appeal.
I think that Big Carl is also subject to a certain amount of \"shrinkage\" when he\'s wrapped up tight in his
protective covering, and he ends up not so Big.

If you look, Big Mac has an extra layer of bread, which contributes the height. But Big Carl weighs more, in beef. As
for how they look in the commercial, all of it is food photography to make it look more appealing, all about getting the
customer in to buy. If I had to pick one, it would be Big Carl\'s, rather have the meat than the bread.

No! Did you even taste them? I know the Carl\'s burger tastes better, and it\'s bigger by weight which really should be
all that matters. When you factor in price, it\'s no contest. Carl\'s wins. It may be fluffed up to look taller, but it
is still clearly the bigger burger. Plus McDonald\'s didn\'t even give you napkins - it seems to me that besides the
height controversy, Carl\'s blows Big Mac away. Plus the height disparity is mainly a product of the packaging.

You\'ve gotta be kidding me. The burger shown in the commercial is bigger than the big mac! In real life, it is much,

misleading. You are allowed to make your burger look good, but you are not allowed to make it _taller_ than things it is
_not taller_ than! Sure, maybe you don\'t like bread, but you can\'t create the illusion that Carls has replaced the
bread with meat!

the only reason its a whole top bun bigger is cause there an extra middle bun. You\'re basically paying another dollar
for an extra piece of bread, I\'d never eat either but if I had to choose one I\'d get the Big Carl cause its a dollar
less and theyre both the same thing...shit

As someone who spent more time of his high school days working at McDonald\'s, I can tell you from experience that the
Big Mac patties are each 1/10 lb (1.6 oz.). That\'s the size of the normal hamburger patties at McD\'s.
The Big Carl uses two 1/4 lb patties. Therefore, comparing a Big Mac to a Big Carl is like comparing little apples to
big apples.
A real comparison would be a double quarter pounder at McD\'s. Just add lettuce and \"special sauce\" (1000 Island
dressing).

I recommend to the court that we place both companies in prison for fraud. The even crappier Big Carl is the only reason
why the Big Mac looks even remotely like shown on the pictures, and my Big Macs are usually a lot flatter than that.

So though i believe there is some photographic trickery happening i think there are some factors that are not included:
1. The big mac has 1 more piece of bread than the BC, and also the lettuce is shredded instead of in leaves. these make
it thicker.
2. Take into consideration the packaging; The BC is wrapped, compressing the bread. The BM is boxed, leaving the bread
uncompressed.

My issue is that the \"Fiction\" line area is pretty much the same thickness of the \"lettuce\" being portrayed in the
commercial. Maybe in zero-gravity, the leaf lettuce would be able to maintain over an inch of thickness while
supporting the two beef patties and bun and toppings. There\'s your real lie - maybe you should carve all of those
ingredients out of wood and paint them in order to more-replicate the burgers that are portrayed in commercials. What a
sad world we live in named \"Reality\".

either way, you have to admit the Carl is bigger in weight, and the only reason the Big Mac would be taller is because

It is intresting to see where with in the structural make up of the burgers that the height is lost. Quite clearly the
lettuce in the carl Jr ad is on steroids and has given a lot of height to the ad picture, the burgers are also squished
together more in reality, however the buns in both appear to be fairly accurate. Fast food is what makes us americans so
high on the worlds fat list anyway so avoid all this crap at all costs!

The Carl\'s Jr. is wider, the Carl\'s Jr. is heavier, but the Big Mac came in a spacious roomy box, not wrapped tight in
a bag, so it didn\'t get compressed.

Indeed, Carl\'s Junior fudged their facts. HOWEVER! Weighing more is a good thing. The meat patties were definately
thicker according to your pictures. And note how much of the fictional space of the Carl\'s sandwich would actually be
taken up my the big mac\'s useless third piece of bread. The Mach is taller, but it\'s height is made up mostly of
bread, it\'s more expensive and weighs less.
I say the Carl\'s Junior burger is definately bigger and a better value. Now go do some situps.

I live in Australia and we dont have Big Carl here. But we do have McDonalds and Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King) If I had

burger in the above photos may not look as nice as the McDonalds burger but I\'ll bet it would taste soooo much better.

You will note that the extra height of the big mac comes from the extra piece if bread. Personally, I wouldn\'t eat

Actually, sir, the Mcdonald\'s burger is only taller due to the middle bun, granting it at least an inch of extra

per burger when made in a production line 40 - 50 seconds when made individually. In reality you made them in 20 seconds

That Big Carl looks very much like it has been squashed, perhaps by being wrapped too tightly? Put it in a box (or
leave off the wrapping entirely) and it will stand much taller.
Besides, though it is depicted as such in the commercial, there is not claim that the Big Carl is actually -taller-
than the Big Mac. Just larger and less expensive.
Your example backs up both of these claims.

The reason why is because the big mac and allot of the sandwiches on the McDonalds menu had a bunch of quality

You the man, rob! Can we get a \'how much is inside\' comparison complete with meat, chese, and bread weights?

The difference is the 1 dollar 39 cents worth of bun in the middle of the Mac.
I\'d take the big Carl any day as better value for money. ( That is if I ever ate that crap)

Immaterial if there\'s no Carl\'s Jr. anywhere near you.

From the extra photos page in you \"Rematch\", one might think you have an interest in making McD look good, with a bit
of deceptive imagery of your own. Note that only one of the photos is labeled as to which burger is which- but that
photo is flipped with regards to all of the others on the page- the Carl\'s Jr is on the left in all of the other
photos. And the photos above and below the labeled one show a clearly larger diameter burger above the labeled McD-
which is actually the Carl\'s Jr!

Whoa, slow down there CPeter. I kept the burgers in the same spot and took a photo from the back side, for full
disclosure, so you wouldn\'t think I was choosing a \"favorite\" side on either burger. That\'s what made the burgers
appear to switch positions.

I think it is less a question of size and more a matter of density. Which burger is \'denser\' and therefore, a better
value? I think the Carl wins here: We know this because it weighs more. Weight is mass x gravity so we can predict that
it has a higher ratio of mass to volume.

Cool your jets Robbie- I don\'t think you are biased. But your well intentioned documentation ends up exhibiting a type
of distortion similar to that which you are trying to expose. By labeling only one photo- one that shows the Big Mac as
taller- and placing photos above and below that have the relative positions of the burgers inverted, it gives the
impression that the Big Mac is also larger in diameter. (Continued...)

I\'m sure that the art director who arranged the original commercial photo- the one that caught your eye- would argue
that it is as real and untouched as yours, and that if anyone gets the wrong impression is not his/her fault...
