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.
