I remember when Carl's Jr. first came out with the Six Dollar Burgers. The idea was that a CJ burger at $3 or so compared nicely with a $6 burger from a sit-down restaurant like Chili's, Applebee's, etc. Hence, you were getting a $6 value for $3.

So I found it humorous when the first CJ opened up here in Anchorage (which, AFAIK, was and possibly still is the highest-grossing CJ's in the world) and brought the Six Dollar Burger...which cost (you guessed it) $6.

Given that a burger at Chili's, Applebee's, TGI Friday's, etc. starts at $9, perhaps CJ should have renamed their burger the Nine Dollar Burger for the Alaskan market...
