I am a Xer and I never ate a Big Mac. It just never appealed to me. I prefer Quarter Pounders.

What’s wrong with those a-holes’ parents?

I had one about a year ago. Dried out and pathetic compared to the ‘70s version. Ray Kroc, wherever he wound up, likely does not like what became of his kingdom.

Millennials always say that they are eating less meat, which is certainly a very good thing, but their do their habits really fall in line with their purported values??/

I'm older than the age range given and I've never had a Big Mac.

The death knell has tolled for the Big Mac. Only one in five millennials, aged 18 to 34, has ever tried or knows what a Big Mac tastes like

Far too many millenials are spoiled, entitled hot-house flowers who expect to be treated like pre-schoolers in college and have been taught to turn their collective nose up at one of the great accomplishments of the Western world: cheap, nutritious food. They're in for quite an experience in their 30s when they have to move out of mom's house and fend for themselves.

I haven’t had once since our millennials were born.

Five Guys has a much better burger anyway.

I have thought for a long time that McD’s
should make a Mac using two quarter pound
patties and call it the Super Mac.

The last time I had a Big Mac I spend the rest of the day burping up that secret sauce

As a 70s kid, the Big Mac was the big deal to me and most others.

Every now and then, I will have a Big Mac attack. I really miss the good McDonald’s fries

change the name to “New, artisan Big Mac” and there will be a stampede of millennials to McD’s doors!

And put a bird on it, for pete’s sake.

"Only one in five millennials...has ever tried or knows what a Big Mac tastes like..."

What's even more disturbing, is that 80% have never even tried a Big Mac....

I like both. What I haven’t done but will try is to get a Big Mac but with Quarter Pounder patties as a special order.

Thinking that would be pretty good.

Wall Street Journal: Only One in Five Millennials Has Ever Eaten a Big Mac

I seriously doubt that this has any basis in fact (like political polls), but is merely what those conducting the "poll" glean -
1. because the poll was conducted with the sole purpose of shocking readers. Finding that people eat Big Macs monthly will not get a headline.
2. Because the person being polled wants to appear self righteous and healthy. It is much more fashionable to attack McD's. Remember the song "Junk Food Junkie"?

Big Mac’s are nasty in my opinion, I know a lot of folks like em, and every chain with a burger on the menu offers a version of it just about... so I know they are popular... but I ever ever cared for em... I’m a GenX though.

Personally, the biggest issue I have with the top 2 burger joints is simply their burgers are pathetic... McD’s dropped to 1/10 lbs burger sometime in the 80s I think... and BK dropped to it in 2000’s I think... at this point what is the point of ordering their burgers? They are literally sliders...

Need to step back up to 1/8 lb burgers even if it means a price increase to do it.... and if I ran McD’s, I’d have gone back to formula 47 in their friers long long ago. McD’s would see its revenues increase overnight if they just did that one change... just like they saw their sales increase when they returned to using REAL BUTTER in their breakfast items... never announced or marketed it, but sure enough, as soon as they did they saw their sales increase.

Formula 47 would return McD fries to one of the must have sinful items they were through most of McD’s history.. instead of the joke they are today.

I have eaten one, but prefer other stuff on the menu.

"Here's why thats a problem" with Millenials - too coddled and taught poorly by the system.

It reminds me of Bob’s “Big Boy” burger with the redundant middle bun. Too much bread.

It’s kind of the worst of all possible worlds. Very little juicy meat, 46 grams carbs (sugared bun & that middle bun, the sweet sauce).

A quarter pounder with cheese is the exact calorie count (550) but drops to 42 grams of carbs, picking up the balance with more meat.

The real indulgence is the double quarter pounder with cheese ... 200 more calories of protein and fat, but not a single more carb, and usually cooked to order to boot. Skip the fries and have it with a diet coke and it’s basically virtuous unless you are on a low-salt diet.
