I’ll add, in case of curiousity, that certainly I have grilled cheeses with other stuff included. As I am cooking a grilled cheese with sliced ham on it, I think that I am cooking a grilled ham and cheese. As I am cooking a grilled cheese with tomato and onion, I think that I am cooking a High Pocket. As I am cooking a grilled cheese with tuna, I think that I am cooking a grilled tuna and cheese.

As I am cooking a cheeseburger, I think that I am cooking a cheeseburger.

Go figure.

Jesus Frank. You might want to double up on the meds I hope you are already taking.

In Frankland, “lemonade for grown-ups” that is lemonade + alcohol = A-OK. But “grilled cheese for grown-ups” that is grilled cheese + ground beef = freak right the fuck out.

Maybe the problem you have with things that are “for grown-ups” is that you aren’t one.

Why, exactly, is Frank being cast as some psycho off his meds? 😕

I mean, his OP mentioned nothing about any vast conspiracy or high crime…just mentioned his annoyance (which I and my daughter share) with this particular commercial and its take on the sacred concept of “grilled cheese”. 😃

Obviously, Frank is aware that he retains the option to inspect the ingedients in his food before consumption, and that no-one is literally attempting to force a half-pound of beef down his unwilling throat, hell, Frank is even down with the concept (previously discussed at length) of a “grilled cheese” containing other ingredients.

Frank is just PISSED about this STUPID, insulting commercial, which obviously appeals to a certain but different demographic. Leave Frank the hell alone. :mad:😃

Dammit, MEAT (or alcohol) does NOT make you a grown-up. I resent the implication. OK, true, it tends to make you DIE sooner, so in that sense, I suppose it makes you “more mature”, but…:dubious:

I was actually disappointed when I first saw this commercial…I thought, wow, Carl’s Jr. is actually going to offer a really good grilled cheese! Another fast food option for this veggie gal. Awwww, no…☹ Assholes. :mad:

I’m with you Frank. Those commercials are beyond stupid.
