there can't be a sadder looking culinary abomination than a fucking big mac
I can tell that’s an old photo based upon how thick those beef patties are. Recently had a Big Mac and it was paper thin. Easily half that.
Haven't they always been tenth pound patties?
I see a lot of people saying it has always been that size. I cannot find official documentation.
I’m comparing that photo to this, which is what mine looked exactly like: https://www.reddit.com/r/shrinkflation/comments/15imuxv/grand_big_mac_super_thin_meat/#lightbox
You can see it in their pricing, if the big Mac contained more than 1/5lb of meat it would throw off the value of the other menu items.
I totally follow you there. I don’t disagree with you.
All I am relying on is my personal experience with Big Macs, which used to be a lot.
These new ones are not as thick as they used to be. Different beef cooks differently, different fat percentages for example.
Also, I guarantee all those frozen patties do not weigh the same. Even if they can convince regulators that they average out to the advertised weight.
