The mystique around its "secret" menu and the bible quotes on the cups, etc. probably doesn't hurt in that regard. I have to wonder if that doesn't get them a nice little bit of tourist traffic resulting in some non-native support.
I'm still a bit unsure about the Carl's Jr./Hardee's business. They seem to get lumped in together everywhere I see them referred to. A quick look at their menus shows a lot of the same fare with different names, but a good number of differences too. I may have to impanel a blue ribbon committee to investigate further. :biggrin:
