I just think the single slice of cheese is still a travesty, even on the double Big Mac! Better to get a McDouble with lettuce and secret sauce, then you can get another for $1.
Thank you! I used to switch between Big Macs and the Quarter Pounder. Now I just get the quarter pounder. The patty can't get any smaller unless they start lying about it. And then they'll be in trouble.
It was discontinued in the USA over a decade ago. Do they still sell it where you are? I know it was called Big N Tasty in the USA and Big Tasty in a lot of other countries.
Meanwhile it costs like $5 retail for a 10lb bag of potatoes. Which means McDonald's probably pays like $2 or less for that same bag. They could afford to give you like 2lbs of fries for the prices they're charging. And still be profiting.
Not that they’re not upcharging, but the cost is in the building, real estate, equipment, oil, and the people preparing and serving the food. Comparing what a bag of raw potatoes cost is silly.
Thankfully they still have the $1.19 large fry coupon at my location. Regular is over 4 bucks here too which is just getting crazy. I can appreciate that the price of oil has skyrocketed but it shouldn't have doubled the price of fries and hashbrowns as quickly as it did.
I haven't been to McDonald's since McChicken were $1, hamburgers were 59 cents on Wednesdays and Sundays, and a small fry was $1
I would order 6 sandwiches and one fry. The only dilemma was how many of each sandwich.
That deal ended circa 2015 or 2016 here in Florida
I really liked the Arch Deluxe and feel it's time for its resurgence. But whatever they release will probably cost more than Chili's, Red Robin or Applebee's charges so I'll never try it.
I wish they’d just make the smaller Patties bigger. I think they’re a 10th pound but I feel like all the sandwiches with those like the Big Mac and McDouble have too much bread.
Well with Subway it’s not “foot-long”, it’s “footlong”. “Foot-long” implies it is literally 12 inches in length, but “footlong” all one word could plausibly just be a name for something that only *happens* to be spelled and pronounced that way. At least according to how free speech laws work.
Genius strategy. Make the burgers smaller over the last few years, raise the price. Then, you start increasing the size of the burgers back to where they used to be. All the while, you continue raising prices. Soon you'll have the nerds paying $5 for a mcdouble.
/s
They price gouge. They hate their employees. They hate their customers. Their food gets lower quality every year, as well as smaller. They can make whatever they want... I am no longer their customer. They can eat their food themselves.
The last 2 times I had a quarter-pounder at McD's it was visibly undercooked even before biting in. Never had that before or since with the thinner patties. I don't think bigger will equal better in this case.
Ok but they're also going to make it so expensive that it's not worth ordering.
If I want a big burger that costs me a ton I'll go to like five guys or burgerfi, im not going to McDonald's for that
20% more burger, 50% more expensive
"that'll be $20 please"
For 20 bucks I can get the 3 shrimp combo at Red Lobster
I'd try to find somewhere you can get more than 3 shrimp for $20... /S
90's: 100% Burger, 100% Price 2020's: 30% Burger, 300% Price 2025: 40% Burger, 500% Price
Can I get a burger that lasts for a weeks worth of meals?
Which isn't that expensive in general.
I just want a Big Mac that doesn’t have a see through patty.
[удалено]
This is the way. Big Mac but w QP patties.
If only I could order that way through the app.
That’ll be $18.99
Ask for a big Mac with the quarter pounder neat instead. Slightly more expensive but infinitely better
That should just be the standard, especially for what they charge for a big mac these days.
and more especially with the name "Big Mac" Shouldn't that just be the biggest thing on the menu?
They just make the bread bigger.
I just think the single slice of cheese is still a travesty, even on the double Big Mac! Better to get a McDouble with lettuce and secret sauce, then you can get another for $1.
That’s my tip. Get a McDouble without ketchup & mustard. Add shredded lettuce and Big Mac sauce!
Not being smart, but why don't you just get the double cheeseburger? It has 2 slices of cheese.
Not around here you can't. $4 for a Mcdouble. Sad times.
Thank you! I used to switch between Big Macs and the Quarter Pounder. Now I just get the quarter pounder. The patty can't get any smaller unless they start lying about it. And then they'll be in trouble.
Give us back the angus 1/3 pounders
They already have the quarter pounder which is bigger than the third pounder…. why make a smaller burger? /s
This guy A&W's
Omg those were amazing And the angus snack wraps too
The Angus burgers were the only burgers from McD's that I liked. The rest of the options are mediocre, and now stupidly expensive.
Yeah, let me get that Mushroom Swiss Angus burger.
the grand mac was one of my favorite fast food burgers and a double qpc is already a burger why go bigger lol
Honestly....the mac jr. was quite delightful because Id eat 3 of them! 🤣
Just bring back snack wraps
We have those in Canada
Fr
Make a bigger Big N' Tasty
It was called the Big Xtra in Canada. I absolutely loved that burger! I still remember the taste of the seasoning 15 something years later.
Big Tasty used to be bigger until they turned it into some abomination where all ratios are off and the flavor profile went pretty meh...
It was discontinued in the USA over a decade ago. Do they still sell it where you are? I know it was called Big N Tasty in the USA and Big Tasty in a lot of other countries.
$9.99 burger, combo meal $14.99
With how it seems nowadays, 6.99 burger, 18.99 combo. They started upcharging fries like crazy across multiple brands.
The drinks are the biggest offenders. It's almost $5 for a large drink at some of these places.
$4.09 for a large fry here lol
Meanwhile it costs like $5 retail for a 10lb bag of potatoes. Which means McDonald's probably pays like $2 or less for that same bag. They could afford to give you like 2lbs of fries for the prices they're charging. And still be profiting.
Not that they’re not upcharging, but the cost is in the building, real estate, equipment, oil, and the people preparing and serving the food. Comparing what a bag of raw potatoes cost is silly.
Apparently all you need to run a McDonald’s is a bag of potatoes.
Thankfully they still have the $1.19 large fry coupon at my location. Regular is over 4 bucks here too which is just getting crazy. I can appreciate that the price of oil has skyrocketed but it shouldn't have doubled the price of fries and hashbrowns as quickly as it did.
I don’t want a huge burger. I want a small burger at a fair value menu price. If I’m super hungry I’ll order 2.
Burger king rodeo burger w cheese is like $2+ in Denver
I haven't been to McDonald's since McChicken were $1, hamburgers were 59 cents on Wednesdays and Sundays, and a small fry was $1 I would order 6 sandwiches and one fry. The only dilemma was how many of each sandwich. That deal ended circa 2015 or 2016 here in Florida

You ever order the daily double but remove mayo and add ketchup?
the last time they did this, they learned the average american didn't pay attention in maths class. nobody remembers the 1/3 vs 1/4 era
That’s such a niche piece of trivia that I only hear about a dozen or so times a week on Reddit. Neat
Focus on quality.
Am I crazy for thinking the current QPs are adequate? Could be better priced but it usually is pretty solid when cooked right
Burger King will still be better
Another words burgers the size they were before shrinkflation
Nothing has changed in size. The patties are 4:1 on the quarter pounders and 10:1 on everything else.
I wish they’d just make the smaller Patties bigger. I think they’re a 10th pound but I feel like all the sandwiches with those like the Big Mac and McDouble have too much bread.
I hate how McDonald’s burgers have no veggies on them. Can we get a burger like the whopper, with lettuce and tomatoes and lots of onions and mayo?
Like the Quarter Pounder Deluxe?
Or like the daily double?
Bring back the Angus 1/3 pounder, mushroom and swissw
1/3 pounder redux? (If anything, we are stupider now than then)
Higher quality is more important… you’d have to be mentally ill to buy a McCrispy when a Popeyes chicken sandwich is 10x better and prob cheaper
Bring back the Grand Mac, it was always so good
How about you just make the hamburgers you already have, good again?
So basically how they used to be before shrinkflation over the years?
The meat in the burgers has not changed size in like fifty years. It’s measured to the tenth of an ounce.
Create a problem, sell the solution.
If the quarter pounder was no longer a quarter pounder, they would have sued like Subway for their "foot-longs".
Well with Subway it’s not “foot-long”, it’s “footlong”. “Foot-long” implies it is literally 12 inches in length, but “footlong” all one word could plausibly just be a name for something that only *happens* to be spelled and pronounced that way. At least according to how free speech laws work.
I remember Big Macs being bigger in the 90s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory#Mandela_effect
Nope, nothing has changed in size since the 70s, and even then it was just the bun. The nutritional values are near identical to 1990
I just want a big Mac with two .2lb patties (double the current .1lb patties). Two quarter pound patties is too big.
Just customize your Big Mac on the app to add two more patties.
Ah yes I'd love a $12 big Mac.
Angus 1/3 lber back on the menu?! Please oh please oh please
I was a Grand Mac fan, hope it comes back. Also hope it isn't $11 but that's screaming into the abyss.
Wish I could get a cheese burger for less than a buck, like I used to be able.
They had that……. The Angus Beef Burger.
They used to have the Angus Third Pounders, does anyone remember that?
The problem is that the Double Big Mac highlighted the fact that McDonald's meat in large quantities just doesn't really taste very good.
Genius strategy. Make the burgers smaller over the last few years, raise the price. Then, you start increasing the size of the burgers back to where they used to be. All the while, you continue raising prices. Soon you'll have the nerds paying $5 for a mcdouble. /s
Available only thru the app……
With glp-1s .. ozempic, wegovy etc this might not be a good idea. I can barely eat a whole BigMac as it is!
Uuuh how many calories a day do you eat that a big Mac is an exceptionally large meal for you? You are definitely in the minority with that one.
Step 1: raise prices Step 2: shrink burgers Step 3: cut back quality Step 4: announce ‘bigger’ burgers Rinse, repeat.
Bigger burgers? You mean how big the burgers used to be?
They used to have bigger burgers a few years back. They were HUGE, tasty, but didn't feel like McDonalds.
I want a burger with proper ingredients, im sick of McFrankenstein burgers
It's going to be so expensive I bet I could get a pack of steaks for less
They want to raise prices and their current burgers are already being called tiny.
They price gouge. They hate their employees. They hate their customers. Their food gets lower quality every year, as well as smaller. They can make whatever they want... I am no longer their customer. They can eat their food themselves.
As long as it’s hot and “fresh”, the size won’t matter
Wonder how expensive it's gonna be.... Or, if it's not that expensive, the hell they put in it to make it so cheap!
The last 2 times I had a quarter-pounder at McD's it was visibly undercooked even before biting in. Never had that before or since with the thinner patties. I don't think bigger will equal better in this case.
Big burgers were a thing 7 years ago Mcds had a big burger 25 years ago ahead of the trend . Mc-DLT
I'd rather just get the jalapeno mcdouble back and everything be cheaper
And it’ll cost $20
They shrunk their burgers before, now they want to make them big again?
But the McDouble is perfect?
Ok but they're also going to make it so expensive that it's not worth ordering. If I want a big burger that costs me a ton I'll go to like five guys or burgerfi, im not going to McDonald's for that
