Superhero-Inspired Bacon Burgers

Carl’s Jr. is Introducing X-Men Burgers to Its Menu

Carl’s Jr. has X-Men burgers on their menu because of the upcoming X-Men movie ‘Days of Future Past.’ The promotional tie-in is similar to the Spiderman-themed ‘Super Bacon Cheeseburger’ and the ‘Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger.’  Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s is now offering fans of the film another X-tremely bacon-topped set of sandwiches. These new sandwiches will be in honor of the new X-Men film being released this summer.

The burgers include the Western X-tra Bacon Cheeseburger. The X-Men burger comes with four strips of bacon, American cheese, beef patties, barbecue sauce and o-rings. The other sandwich is a X-tra Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit that features four slices of bacon and an egg patty with American cheese. These menu items are definitely X-tra special.
