In case you&#8217;re scared to jump down the rabbit hole of Carl&#8217;s Jr. Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger reviews, they weren&#8217;t favorable.<\/p>\n<p>The 2012 version consists of a charbroiled beef patty, bacon, American cheese, Swiss cheese, mayo, grilled bread, and the word &#8220;Amazing.&#8221; In order to earn the word &#8220;Amazing,&#8221; I hope every cow and pig used to make the Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger was bitten by a radioactive spider. That would be awesome! Oh wait&#8230;That would be amazing! Prices for the burger start at $3.29 and may vary by location.<\/p>\n<p>On July 4th, the day after the movie is released, Carl&#8217;s Jr. and Hardee&#8217;s will be holding a &#8220;Spider-Man Eats Free&#8221; promotion at their restaurants. Any guest who comes to one of their restaurants dressed as Spider-Man will receive a free Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s amazing, but it would be even more so if one could also get a free drink and fries for singing the theme song from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4o29VoxtsFk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original Spider-Man cartoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small><\/p>\n<div xmlns:cc=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/ns#\" about=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/staeiou\/2688521617\/\"><a rel=\"cc:attributionURL\" href=http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/staeiou\/2688521617><\/a>Image via flickr user Staeiou \/ <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/deed.en\">CC BY SA 2.0<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carl&#8217;s Jr.\/Hardee&#8217;s Amazing Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger isn&#8217;t new.
