A new Hardee's product needs a better name.
That's the premise of a risque ad campaign -- Name Our Holes -- for Hardee's Biscuit Holes, a dunkable cinnamon and sugar dough treat.
"Frosty Nuts," "Goody Balls" and "Happy Holes" are some of the tamer names floated in the commercials for the deep-fried biscuits.
The chain is selling the Biscuit Holes in six- ($1.29) and 12-packs ($1.99).
"What to call them was a big challenge," says Brad Haley, Hardee's vice president of marketing. "One of my favorite options was 'Biznuts,' a cross between 'biscuits' and 'donuts' ... but there were many other suggestions that were very funny. Unfortunately, I can't repeat them here."

You have guys stuffing their mouths full and speaking at the same time, and the woman licking the sauce off her body as she eats a burger (my husband even said this one made him sick)! And now the donut hole saga. Their commercials teach young people poor manners. I no longer patronize Hardees.
