Is Paris' burger as mouthwatering?
Partying heiress aside, how does the Spicy BBQ Six-Dollar Burger really rate?

By now you've probably seen the over-the-top commercial from Carl's Jr. in which Paris Hilton washes a Bentley in slo-mo while eating a cheeseburger. I've watched it over and over, and I think to myself, wow, that is one good-looking burger!

The Spicy BBQ Six-Dollar Burger (actually $4.59) starts with a half-pound Angus beef patty, two slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato and a spicy barbecue sauce on a sesame seed bun. The twist is that they've topped it with a handful of peppery battered onion and jalapeņo strips that are so tasty on their own that Carl's offers them as a side dish under the name Texas Toothpicks.

Let's break this bad boy down:

The current ad may be generating controversy, hoopla and hype, but for Carl's Jr.'s Most Ridiculously Titillating Commercial, I still prefer the hot girl on the mechanical bull.
