Saw this poster at my local Hungry Jack's in Sydney. On Wednesday 1 May 2013, try the new "Big Cheese burger with 100% Australian flame-grilled beef" for $1.

Edit 3 (T&C from HJ FB): Offer valid from 12.00am through 11.59pm, Wednesday 1 May 2013. Limit one $1 burger per customer. Not valid with any other offer. Available only at participating Hungry Jack’s® stores.

Since I cannot find this deal mentioned on HJ's web site and FB, so I cannot tell you if this is Sydney-wide, State-wide, or Nation-wide. The poster does not mention a purchasing limit. I wonder if I can buy 10 for $10?

Edit 2: The deal has been confirmed in Melbourne and Adelaide, so we can assume this is nationwide. Thanks for your reports.

Edit 1: Apology for the sideway photo. This is caused by a bug in OzBargain's Media Uploader. This photo should appear upright.

          theres no cheese in junior burgers
          looks more like a quarter pounder

        • stuntman on 25/04/2013 - 00:04

          This should use the whopper buns, which is a bit bigger than quarter pounder.
          I used to work there sometime back. The 4 corners of cheese is their marketing's way of showing you there are 2 slices of cheese, which only go to the big whopper sized buns.

    • Aussie89 on 24/04/2013 - 23:56

      I had one today… cost me $4.95!
      It is definitely a bargain at $1.
      Comparable to the size of a Quarter Pounder. Probably around the same weight.

    • bajillionaire on 25/04/2013 - 11:10

      Pretty sure it's a 1:1 scale size to the picture on the poster.

    Hell yeah cheap, cheap burgers

    tightness in chest, pain in left arm, feeling dizzy, arghh another meat heart attack

  • auna on 25/04/2013 - 04:22

    Looks like a whopper bun with a slightly bigger bacon deluxe patty.

    Good idea would be to buy two use the bottom of one burger as a crown similar to a big mac.

    • Adamiam on 25/04/2013 - 10:16
      +1

      The bacon deluxe uses 2 4" patties.
      Whopper bun means a 5" pattie, so the same as the pattie in the whopper.

      Judging by the photo, it has 2 slices of cheese, 5" beef pattie, mustard/ketchup, onion, and mayonnaise.

      You make you fat not a burger. Personally never experienced an army of burgers shoving itself down my throat while I was tied up defenceless and unable to exercise. Dont blame an inanimate object for your own faults.

      • Kurtz on 26/04/2013 - 02:34

        To be fair the burgers are probably 50% fat and over 400 calories each… If you're going to take advantage of this deal I find it hard to imagine you walking out with less than 3 of them and that could be about half your recommended caloric intake for the day.

    • krisspy on 25/04/2013 - 14:31

      A surplus energy intake makes you fat, not the burger.

    I went into my Hungry Jacks after work at 4am today (May 1) and there was posters all over the windows advertising this for $1 for "Wednesday May 1 only". So I order 2 of them and have my $2 coin ready, plus I ask for my free medium fries that I won on the shake and win app, the cashier asks me for $9.90. WTF, it says $1 dude- he replies it doesnt start on the system till 5am, I say WATEVA, its advertised for $1, in the end he put it thru as a $1 frozen coke. For $1 it was passable, for $4.95 its a laughable joke. It literally was a whopper with NO lettuce, NO tomato, No pickles and No mayo.

    The Wynyard (in Sydney) store is enforcing the 1 per customer rule. I think they may have only just started it at lunch time. While I was waiting people who had already ordered were getting bags with multiple Big Cheeses. Anyway, I used HJ app for 50% off so ordered an Aussie and a Big Cheese for just $4.

  • trunks on 01/05/2013 - 13:44

    The one at Pitt St was not enforcing the one per customer, saw people carrying bags full of them. It was mayhem and I think the guys making them in the back were getting confused, I got two and one had onions in it for some reason…

      Bags of them? I knew it, disgusting!

      Can people really deny the likes of Dominos etc, aren't preying on low income earners at this point? Finding the sweet spot where they simply can't resist the price and convenience, with no thought of health? These people are no doubt feeding this shit to their kids or backing it up for dinner and breakfast. Sad state of affairs people. And type 2 diabetes is now an epidemic… couldn't possibly guess why.

      Can only hope that these people are handing them out to the needy.

    A friendly word of advice, I'm a big guy with a big appetite and they were huge! I thought they'd just be like a regular size cheeseburger so ordered two thinking they'd be on the smaller side. Instead they were about the size of a whopper! Struggled to finish them both. I think one should be enough for most. Great value for $1, at the regular price not so sure

    • kirasuran on 01/05/2013 - 14:37
      +3

      To be honest if you struggle to finish them both (these having less ingredients than whoppers) then I don't think you qualify to say you have a big appetite.

      NB: yes i know subjective etc etc, this comment is half in jest but also half in seriousness.

    • roughana on 01/05/2013 - 14:48

      about the size of a whopper

      Diameter only. Not height. It is a slice of meat, slice of cheese and sauce.
