Size matters

[hereandthere]

I had this very conversation last night with some family and friends, the general consensus was that Big Macs are definitely smaller than they used to be. Some of the older people in the group who were in their mid-20's during the late 1970's-early 80's all said that they would struggle to finish a Big Mac at the time.

Anyone tried the grand big macs? I had one a few weeks ago but it was so damn salty. Wasn’t sure if they were made like or just unlucky.

I tried it after seeing this thread, wasn't bad but I usually avoid maccas.

My old man is a fan of the big mac, I'm afraid it definitely has shrunk over the years. Can remember vividly laughing at him for not able to bite the burger without squishing it a little

More than a handful is too much for me. My motto in both punting and burgers.

Yep it's smaller I reckon. Probably related to cost cutting in the name of health conscious advertisement.

Would think more likely the cost cutting

That is 1 - it is smaller, 0 - nothing has changed

Thanks Corvus

I've been eating these new lamb rolls from red rooster ... their not bad.

a lot of people are complaining about red rooster selling lamb but I don't give a shit ill still eat it.

What are your thoughts?

It makes sense they would introduce a new protein, there are already a few chicken players about. Roast lamb seems to make sense with roast chicken? Will need to give this one a go and report back, I hope they have a roll with just lamb and gravy, an oldie but a goodie

Omg I was thinking it’s a thread of ...sizes and would be an interesting thread. Then just a size of hamburgers, ay ya

Haha sorry for the clickbait

[China_Doll]

Got one of these grand Mac during the free Mac day and I say it’s just the burger from like the 90s. Gimmick.

Yesss! Exactly!

That’s 2 - it is smaller, 0 - nothing has changed

McDonalds is selling the Big Mac sauce in bottles for a limited time. You'd have to love Big Macs that much to want to make other things taste the same

Coles have a special burger sauce that is a dead set dupe of the Big Mac sauce. I admit I really enjoy a Big Mac

Mcdonalds shrunk the bun size in the 80s as it makes the meat patties look larger, this was in response to the "wheres the beef" Wendys campaign

That looks even bigger than the Grand Big Mac! Very well researched Harrycd, thank you

That’s 3 - 1, thanks hereandthere

That could be true, this was considered but still not convinced

Well his hands definitely could not have grown, clear 4 - 0!

Everything in moderation punterthon? Sounds like wise words

[Raybo]

It shouldnt even be called Big Mac anymore. Just call it Mac or Little Mac
