Apparently Japan has a double big mac

[gorcorps]

Some folks from work were on a business trip in Japan, and for some odd reason their Japanese guides thought it'd be a hoot to bring real Americans into their McD's. Well apparently they have a double big mac there, and it's a standard menu item throughout Japan. They said jokingly "Oh I bet you Americans eat these all the time right? Ha ha ha"

What? Fuck you Japan! We don't need you making up your own absurd horseshit to fuel the stereotype. We can be fat and unhealthy all on our own thank you very much

We have a double quarter pounder, which admittedly would be more burger, but still...

Somehow getting twice the crap doesn't seem such a good deal.

There isn't really all that much meat anyway :biggrin:

I still don't really understand why the Dbl quarter pounder isn't just called the Half Pounder.

Because the double quarter pounder is 2 quarter pounder patties.

promo photos are such lies.

The mega mac! That was it. I knew it had a special name but couldn't remember.

That California burger looks good.

Bah... McDonald's burgers are lame anyway.

Their food development team needs to visit Louis's Lunch in New Haven Connecticut, and relearn how to make a proper burger from the guys who invented them.

lies. meat on the big mac is about 1/3 of the size in the pictures. no way it extends all the way out to the bun.

Only thing it's missing is avocado since pretty much any California burger has it but I'd expect avocado is super expensive in Japan.

But it's still a half pound total....

it's not like they double the whole sandwich, if 1 patty is a "quarter pounder" sandwich, then a dbl "quarter pounder" should dbl everything, not just the patties. It should be called the Half Pound Heart Stopper, it's catchy.

not the same thing. if you cooked a 1/2 lb patty, it would be heavier than 2 1/4 lb patties cooked since it would have lost less water.

There's nothing wrong with liking a Big Mac but I forgot this is ATOT and anything with a commercial is bad.
