What makes the Six Dollar Burger cost $6 is the 1/2lb Angus beef patty... Without that, it's not the Six Dollar Burger, it's just an ordinary hamburger. ;) Of course, you can get a similar burger at Burger King with a Coke and fries for a few cents cheaper...

I haven't had a Carl Jr before but my husband and son have and they said this was very close to the real thing. They liked it. Thanks Dropbeat. Bullwinkle.
