Get The Ghost Burger you've been craving and more from Carl's Jr. to lift your spirits or ease your guilt

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- If your date, potential employer or supposed best friend has suddenly ended all communication without explanation, we hate to break it to you, but you've been ghosted. Or maybe, you've done the ghosting, and the guilt is eating away at you. To lift your spirits or ease your guilt, Carl's Jr.'s new burger, The Ghost is available today at participating restaurants for a limited time. On social media, confessing or commiserating your ghosting stories could mean some Carl's Jr. swag* and freebies.

"Nothing burns more than getting ignored or left on read, except for the mouth-numbing heat of our new burger, The Ghost," said Vice President of Marketing Anthony Nguyen. "At Carl's Jr., we see you, we hear you, and we want to give you burgers, swag and freebies to take your mind off of the burn from ghosting."
