Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl ad brings back bikini-clad burger models after yearslong clampdown

Make America Hot Again.

Carl’s Jr., which ditched its sexualized commercials eight years ago, is bringing back its bikini-and-burgers formula for the Super Bowl.

TikTok influencer Alix Earle stars in a new commercial from Carl’s Jr. promoting its new “hangover burger” for football fans needing a pick-me-up after game day.

“Just what you need to cure that post party bug,” Earle says, dressed in a skimpy outfit as she parades through a car wash and takes a bite of the super-loaded breakfast burger.

Mountain Dew Flushes Millions Down Toilet In Freakish Super Bowl Ad

Mountain Dew dished out millions of dollars for a bizarre Super Bowl ad that included the face of Seal the artist actually on a seal’s body.

The ad dropped Feb. 5 and, sadly for Mountain Dew, it’s too late to take it back. The mistake has already been made and their money has already been wasted.
