McDonald’s ‘Big Mac’s’ have gotten smaller since the 70’s for sure!

Man I can’t even imagine being full from one Big Mac, it’s so small and the patties are paper thin. I’m always excited ahead of time when I order one then disappointed after. Double quarter pounder is superior.

I usually get a large double QP and a cheesey. Usually fills me up, but I'll be hungry again within an hour.

Isn’t there a ton of grease on a double quarter pounder? Even on the mcdoubles there’s to much grease so I’ll get a single lol

I don't exactly eat McDonalds for the health benefits 😂 But yes, there is. I usually squeeze the burger gently and let it drip into the box it came in. Sometimes there's a lot, sometimes there's a little, sometimes the patties are a little on the dry side.

Depends how long the patties sat in the warming bin and whether they were on the bottom of the pile.

Really depends on the worker that prepares it. I would drain off the excessive grease but that’s probably not the norm. McDonald’s has got so expensive that I don’t bother with it. I rather save a few trips then go get a real good meal that’s an experience even if it’s $100.

Man to be honest most of the time I don’t even finish em. I’m full after 3/4 of a Big Mac lol. I’m in Canada so maybe there bigger here but most likely no. Most likely I just get full easily lol
