The burger chain just released an ad which features Rousey chowing down on its latest menu item: the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Breakfast Sandwich. (Carl’s Jr., it should be noted, has long been criticized for [sexist advertisements](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style-blog/wp/2015/02/01/carls-jr-debuts-sexist-super-bowl-2015-commercial/).) Somehow, Rousey makes this sandwich — which features sausage, egg, cheese and syrup wedged between two slices of French toast — look kind of healthy. The ad alternates between footage of Rousey chowing down on the sandwich and footage of her pummeling opponents in the ring. Clearly, this is a ploy to make us think the sandwich is packed with nutrients that could give us Ronda Rousey levels of energy, strength and power. And clearly, this ploy totally works. _Read next:_ [_What to Say When Your Daughter Wants To Grow Up To Be Ronda Rousey_](http://time.com/3992597/ronda-rousey-boxing-training-dangers/?iid=time%5Freadnext) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4015883/ronda-rousey-carls-jr-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4015883/ronda-rousey-carls-jr-ad/"},"headline":"Ronda Rousey Somehow Makes This Gluttonous Breakfast Sandwich Look Healthy","datePublished":"2015-08-29T13:58:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:00.770Z","description":"The UFC Champion appears in a new Carl's Jr. ad","url":"https://time.com/4015883/ronda-rousey-carls-jr-ad/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4015883/ronda-rousey-carls-jr-ad/","name":"Ronda Rousey Somehow Makes This Gluttonous Breakfast Sandwich Look Healthy"}}]}] ```
