Every so often, Carl’s Jr. trots out a well-endowed woman to convince consumers to buy their burgers. It started with Kate Upton, and this year the baton was passed to Florida native Charlotte McKinney.

Given that Kate was named 2014’s Sexiest Woman Alive by People magazine, following in her footsteps isn’t a bad thing. And since women hate to be objectified and compared, let’s just kill two birds with one stone by figuring out 14 reasons Charlotte McKinney is the next Kate Upton.

Well there go two pretty big reasons

She’s in on the joke. And she’s okay with you looking because it pays the bills.

Charlotte is cool giving a country full of perverted guys with high-speed Internet connections just enough of what they want without crossing the line.

It helps to not be afraid of the man rumored to be America’s most creepy photographer.

You have to engage with fans. See Charlotte’s Reddit “Ask Me Anything” for further proof.

Kate got women on her side by playing up the “I love my curves” angle. Charlotte similarly wins the female vote by telling them she really just wants a thick burger and some donuts too.

Like Kate, Charlotte is caking up off of fashion shoots too, because you can’t always be in a bikini…although most wouldn’t object.

Ms. McKinney can technically get paid to party, but don’t get it twisted. That’s another appearance fee in the bank account.

Let’s stop pretending like the target demographic cares about a round backside. The only buns she’s working with are surrounding that burger in the commercial.

It’s not necessarily a play out of Kate’s book, but implied kissing between two attractive women is always a career booster.

Kate locked down parts in The Three Stooges and The Other Woman. It looks like Charlotte is laying the foundation with the occasional TV appearances and roles in movies like Joe Dirt.

Both ladies know how to poke fun at the “dumb blonde” stereotype while laughing all the way to the bank.

Kate is currently booed up with Cy Young winning Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander. Charlotte is aiming for the sports fans by chilling at Knicks games, but don’t tell her she forgot the letter “K” in Knicks.

The other obvious similarity is a suggestive Carl’s Jr. ad during the Super Bowl. It’s practically a rite of passage at this point.
