are McD's burgers getting smaller?

[BlahBlahYouToo]

it's been awhile since i had a big mac, but i had one this weekend and my buddy had a quarter pounder. they were both tiny.
i'm trusting McD's and assuming the 1/4 pounder did have 1/4 lb worth of burger, but they must've cut back on the bun. same with the big mac.

i remember as a kid, a big mac actually lived up to its name. i would struggle to open my jaw wide enough to even bite into it. now, i can down it in 5 bites and not feel full.

i'm sure my perspective has changed quite a bit since i'm older now, but i remember even a few years (5?) ago, the burgers were bigger. heck, even the boxes were bigger.

maybe you're just getting fatter and want more?

Haven't noticed, but I do notice that my local McD squashes the burger till it's about the size of a pancake for some reason.

As a result, I don't eat there any more.

Maybe they've heard your many, many rants about how fat people are evil, and they're trying to help you "fix" this "problem"?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Ehh ... they've always been small.

If you want a big burger, you gotta go to a more expensive place.
This is my favorite ... mmmmm

But, it's not a chain, and it's a good 30+ miles NW of Chicago out in the sticks ... so 99.9% of you will never bask in it's glorious flavor.

things seemed bigger to you when you were a kid... :hmm:

I can't really get past the fact that their beef tastes like shit to really judge the size.

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

where's da beef?

 

[Drako]

where's da beef?

White Castle?

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

white castle barely has any beef in their burgers. i just remembered that wendy's commercial in the 90's where 3 old ladies are talking about how little beef was in rival franchises burgers. was a funny commercial at the time.

 

[CrackRabbit]

White Castle?

That's not beef.

If the burgers at McDonalds really shrinked at the rate some people seem to believe they'd be the size of tic-tacs by now

 

[Ninjahedge]

The burgers are the same size they have always been.

As a test, go back to your elementary school and try to touch the ceiling. MAN that was so high up!!!! Now, you touch it on your toes w/o jumping.

You grew up.

"Blah blah blah...."

"You know what would be good on this burger? A ham sandwich! Instead of a bun, let's use two donuts. That way we can have it for breakfast. Lookout McGriddle, here comes the Donuthamhamburger!"

...and this was my 2nd thought.

Yup. I remember going to McDonald's the first time when I was about 4 years old. I couldn't even finish a regular cheese burger. I know those haven't changed in size.

no, and i bet you aren't either

YEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHH

it was a cheat day.
but for most meals, the burger is the healthiest (or least unhealthy) of the 3 items in a combo meal. unless you're getting water or an unsweetened drink.
