.99 Big Hamburger
- It's not big, well except for a big disappointment. Has almost no flavor, not good, oh and it has no cheese (extra) would not eat again. And I love fast food
Just thought I'd point this out, b/c not many people are 'in the know' about the Big Burger: it's almost exactly the same as the Famous Star. Uses the same patty and bun and whatnot. I believe the Big Burger has mustard instead of 'Special Sauce'. Oh, and no onions and maybe no tomato (been a long time, hard to remember). But here's the key- IF you can find a Famous Star of $0.99, that's a sale price. The regular price is something like $1.50 or more. The Big Burger has a regular price of $0.99. This has two implications:
1. If you happen to have a coupon for a % off, it applies to the Big Burger, but not the Famous Star (can't combine coupons with sale prices).
2. If you order a Big Burger, plain, with lettuce, tomato, special sauce, and onion, it's a Famous Star. Assuming the Famous Star is NOT $0.99, you can pay for the big burger and an extra $.10 or $0.15 for the vegetation, and get a Famous Star for less than the Famous Star price.
My first job in HS, when I was 16, was at a CJ. When you were on break, you got a 50% discount. Nothing like a Big Burger disguised as a Famous Star for only $.50!
