While most people think of sliders as a pint-size version of a regular burger, Carl's Jr. is flipping that notion on its head with its brand new Triple Slider. Despite the miniature patties, the new slider is hearty enough to be enjoyed on its own.
The new Triple Slider is part of Carl's Jr.'s recently released lineup of mini burgers. While the pint-sized Charbroiled Sliders come in single, double, or triple patty versions, it is the latter that is creating the most buzz. That is because each hamburger patty weighs 1.3 ounces, meaning the Triple Slider contains as much meat as a quarter-pound burger. Even more impressive, the new burger is three times the height, making it an intimidating appetizer option.
