“I’ve never had a Big Mac.”
That’s downright un-American. I’ll bet you drive foreign cars, too.
I have a theory about McDonald’s, that is, everything they make is all one thing, and in the back they have this big vat full of this stuff, these little molds combining, like SPLURT ‘Hamburger!’ SPLURT ‘Malt!’ SPLURT ‘Paper box!’ SPLURT ‘Here’s your change!’

How do you know what you prefer without having tried both?
I'd rather see the staff working than mooching or mugging for a buck.
I’ve got three millenial kids at home. I just asked their opinion about the claim of this survey, and they all called bull.
I worked at McD's in '82-'83 and they were definitely 10:1 burgers at that time (10 burgers per pound), and there was no hint that the burger size had ever changed. I searched and couldn't find any record of a change, but the best answer seems to be the packaging that held it together and prevented it from compressing was dropped. All the long-time employees/mangers who posted said it's always been 2 x 1/10 lb burgers (at least back to 1970).
My first thought was, “What about all the other stuff on the menu?”
They’ve been losing market share for a few years, I think, but there’s much more competition now than there was in the 1970s and early 1980s.
McDonald’s charges $4.69 for a Big Mac, or $1.29 for a double cheeseburger. As if the third piece of bun in the middle and some nasty-ass lettuce is worth $3.40?
Seriously ? What about gorillas and most apes/monkeys that are mostly herbivore. Somehow I don’t think mine would be much use tearing any hide or flesh out in the wild.
Never ate one. Ever.
Correction: Only one in five Hipster d-bags ADMIT to having eaten a Big Mac.
“Mostly” herbivore.
They’re also handy as weapons.
So what are they eating?
Sushi?
Oh believe me they changed, were originally 1/8th lbs... BK kept theirs 1/8th lb for quite a while longer.. but they too eventually dropped to 1/10th lb.
If you look at the McD burger bun, the original burgers were the same size... they shrunk the burger but the bun has stayed the same diameter.
About a decade ago, I asked a teenager at a Moscow McDonald's if she liked McDonald's. She replied with obvious enthusiasm "We love McDonald's."
What surprised me over in Europe is how huge KFC is over there, especially Poland.
I’m not sure just how widespread Carls is, but the last time I was there, around 2005, they were pretty good!
Carl’S Jr is spread.. basically its western US, and Hardee’s is eastern US... they serve basically the same food and are the same parent company.
So they are the 4th national chain
My apologies, you are correct, McD’s regular burger has always been 1/10th of a lb precooked weight, maybe they made the buns bigger or something just know there was a change.
BK I know used to be a much more substantial regular burger, today they are borderline sliders.
