Murph Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Is it me? I got a Big Mac today. It's been a while. I thought they were, like big....... Is my memory failing???????? Is the meat, thinner? It was like 2 pieces of bologna on 3 buns with Thousand Island Dressing? Is the Big Mac built the way is was, when it was invented? Just wonderin'. Murph.

Bluemoon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 They are much smaller. They also tasted better when they came in that landfill-filling, environmentally destroying styrofoam packaging. I miss the old packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hey Murph, I recently bought one myself. It makes you wonder why they call it Big. There's nothing big about it. It's false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm questioning the "original" Is it the same? Or what? I swear, those patties looked like bologna, so thin. Actually, THIN bologna......... Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyH Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think it's a sliding scale of values. When the big muck was introduced a large coke was 16 ounces. A large order of fries was 4 ounces. Today I think the large coke is over 40 ounces at some fast food restaurants. Also, there are bigger burgers out there competing for the fatal food prize, like the 1400 calorie Hardees burger and the 1200 or 1300 calorie triple meat whopper from Burger King. Add a large order of fries (600 calories) and a large (32 ounce) milk shake (950 calories) and you're in heaven (perhaps literally.) Since I'm a retired professional burger flipper who worked fully three months at McDonalds at age 14 before they changed the child labor laws (really!) I stand on my seasoned dignity in proclaiming that the big muck is two 1/10 pound burger patties in a different bun. The 1/10 pound is before "cooking". Back in my day they used a grill to cook the meat, but only God knows how they do it now. My recollection of the "special sauce" was the acrid eye-burning fumes when you opened a gallon can of the stuff. Here's a tip: Go rent a movie called "Supersize Me" and be sure to watch the special features. And then read a related book called "Fast Food Nation".

Swmcv2007 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I get something from MacDonalds every once and awhile and its always a disappointment. The food is grey, greasy, and tastes as unhealthy as it is. Thats why I love Burger King. The marketing is better first of all. I love the king ads. Secondly, and more importantly, I love their food. It tastes better, there's more options, and they have better quality items on their dollar menu. The onion rings are a great alternate to french fries (even though BK's are the best.) They are always hot and the zesty sauce is amazing. The chicken sandwiches are juicy and delicious. I could go on for days. One thing you should NEVER get at BK is the Angry Whopper. They taste amazing but you get the worst diarrhea possibly imaginable. I'm not joking. I have a feast at Taco Bell every now and then and I've had food poisoning, but nothing compares to the aftermath of an Angry Whopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 We have a chain called Whataburger in Texas...pretty good fast food burgers. I'm hooked on Fatburger, we had them in Colorado and they are also in California, yum! They have a great chain in N.C. called Char Grill that'll make you drool too. My dog will eat McDonalds, but she don't wag her tail when she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of business trips through Texas a couple years ago, and got introduced to that fine burger establishment. You Texans always tend to do things right, whether it be the blues or the burgers. I am, of course, excluding the whole Alamo thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlekenny Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 do yourself a favor and go to In-N-Out, order a double-double fries and beverage of your choice and you will be filled. If your feeling really hungry, you can go for a 3x3 It's still unhealthy calorie heart attack food but at least it tastes good (and it's natural) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here in California we have one of the greatest burger success stories. I'm talking about a double-double with grilled onions, and animal-style fries. That's right, In-N-Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
