Fatass.

Yeah. He's just suffering from American portion distortion. Big Mac was big 30-40 years ago when it first came out. Americans weren't.

bs video but I don't doubt the actual measurements.

Went to Scotland 10 years ago, smaller portions and smaller people. Didn't see any "walmart " people at all.

i don't buy that video. they are claiming a inch and a half? no way

I am 100% sure they are the same size. the burgers back then were 1to 10 patties. same as today.


edit: fuck now i want a big mac. fuck mcdoanlds being 20 minutes away

I don't remember the $1.50 Big Macs (well, maybe) but I do remember the $0.25 cheeseburger days. Fat times!

When they introduced the Big Mac, must have been in the early seventies, the local franchise ran a promotion where you'd get a free one if you could say the "two all beef patties..." jingle in some number of seconds. They also let you repeat, so we took home a sack full of them.

I remember $1.50 Big Mac days in high school. Got 4 Big Macs and drinks for $9.50.

it was $1.00 homestyle burgers and a bucket of fries for me in high school.

:barf:

That guy's unit of measurement is a picture of him holding up a bun from 1986 and comparing it to him holding up the same bun in the same position. No shit it looks smaller, he got fatter so it looks smaller next to him now.

That may very well be true but to discount the idea that McDonald's is cutting sizes, just like every other company out there, is far fetched. Companies are downsizing more than just their workforces in this country. Wendy's might be the worst of the group right now (and Subway sandwiches are quite a bit smaller (diameter) than they were just a few years ago).

damn it bring back the old school xxl sizes!

damn it bring back the old school xxl sizes!

That's already the average american's shirt size.

 

[Mai72]

McDonalds gave me the Mcsh*ts the other day.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I'm with the crazy Aussie guy in the video who purchased half a bun. I would have loved to see that conversation.

They have got smaller.

 

[alkemyst]

I just got a big mac combo- I love their fries and got the large size. And I got a 4 pc nugget.

I finished the whole thing and I'm still hungry. No I'm not fat- 180 lbs at 5'11".

Freaking spent $9.50 and not satisfied.

The burger didn't get smaller, you got bigger.

 

[cabri]

I don't know about Big Mac but the Quarter pounder* w/ cheese is still the same size. Quarter pounder combo with medium fries and medium Dr Pepper is what I get at McDonalds.

Giving the weight in the product is usually a dead giveaway as to what size the product will be!

*Before cooking

To cut costs, they can use lower quality/higher fat content beef(meat?)

 

[RadiclDreamer]

I used to work there in my high school days, they look the same size to me and I made a metric Fck ton of them.

Shareholders. Once a company goes public, its product turns to shit in order to cut the bottom line.

I don't think they have changed the quality or fat content in 20 years. it was 20/80.

 

[ctk1981]

I never understood the McDonald's craze even as a kid/teenager. I thought the lunch/supper menu sucked, even to this day. Breakfast....OK for fast food. If every McDonalds burned down tomorrow I wouldn't even blink an eye let alone give two sh*ts.

Are you easily surprised or shocked? I swear every stupid thread you make starts out with WTF? You're Asian, you should be smarter and less surprised.

 

[momeNt]

Spend $5 at In N Out and you'll probably not need to eat for the rest of the day, might even skip breakfast tomorrow too.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Yes, the big mac is really the small mac.

I prefer to go to burger places that use 1/2 pound patties, and usually I order the double cheese burger with bacon from those places. I get a good stout or belgian ale with the burger. Then, I also like to eat a pound of fries with cheese and chlilli and onions. Afterwards, I of course like to get a huge giant milkshake and then smoke a cigar and drink more beers.

Sadly, if I wanted to go to In N Out, I'd have to buy either get on a plane or drive a long way.

 

[Captante]

Could have got nine McDoubles for that price. Or are they not selling for a dollar anymore?

Like $1.39 each around here these days.

Could still get like 6 of them for $9.50 though.

 

[Phanuel]

5'11" and 180lbs, yeah, he fat.

I go to five guys and call it a week.

No wonder why you are fat.
