The bun will be twice as thick or something.
It’ll all be lettuce and onions
The refresh includes having thicker bun bases to preserve heat, pieces of onion poured directly onto some of the patties as they cook, and adding more sauce to Big Macs,
Oh sure, just what they needed… More bread and sauce. Fucking gross
“…having a larger burger is an opportunity,”
…customers want "larger, high-quality burgers that fill you up."customers want “larger, high-quality burgers that fill you up.”
Bigger burgers. High-quality burgers. Not more meat. More meat is easy, just add more meat. This is going to be some kind of filler, or a mix of “beef” and ground beans.
Is that necessarily a bad thing? Sure their motives aren’t great but if it tastes fine who cares. Probably healthier for you and definitely better for cows & the environment.
Worst of both worlds. Just give me a damn black bean burger
Bigger burgers. Larger burgers. Meat goes on it. Much meat. Pile it up. High meat burger that fills the customer up.
Let me guess, they’re patriotic Americans so intentionally coming out with a 1/3 pound burger to disprove that apocryphal internet story once and for all. When it takes off, it proves Americans really can do basic math
oh boy can’t wait for another 10$ burger with my 5$ fries
I believe they currently use CPU tech to make molecular thin beef patties
The ⅓-pounder? A&W already tried that, and it flopped, because people don’t understand fractions.
*Americans.
The rest of the world doesn’t bother with fractions of “pounds” in the first place.
Fractions work with metric too you know.
But you don’t need them since the units already neatly divide. You don’t use a quarter kilo, you’d just say 250 gram.
Ignoring that where I live the weight of the burger isn’t part of the name in the first place. They are just called “royal”.
Metric weights for things like meat is basically always expressed in grams here in the EU. Using fractions is pretty pointless.
The 150 grammer
It seems pretty successful for Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr
both BK and McD used to sell a 1/3-lb burger for a while in the early-mid 00s. Wendy’s, too, IIRC. to my recollection, it did ok in sales, but was maligned for being “unhealthy”, and both chains stopped selling it shortly thereafter.
Meanwhile, modern Wendy’s is all, “Here’s three patties on a greasy bun slathered in ketchup/mustard/mayo, and if you manage to take a bite it’s all gonna come sliding out the other side like bloody pus. Comes with bacon as an option, too. Don’t forget your quart of sugar water.”
In a combo meal for only $14
the bacon is for traction!
A mcdouble isn’t that big, but somehow I feel like I am going to explode after eating just 1 of them motherfuckers. I can’t imagine them being more filling.
I need quality over quantity. It’s one of the reasons I rarely go to Olive garden nowadays. If I want fast food Italian, I’ll go pickup on olive garden.
If I want a nice dining experience. I go to a local Italian restaurant I know of. (same price, half the food, 10x better quality)
Most of the time I find myself having to season anything I pick up from olive garden.
This is what our founding fathers fought for.
they fought for slavery and not to have to pay their taxes. i get that you’re joking, but it’s crazy to me that people still use this argument to defend… anything. Our founding fathers had some decent ideas about democracy and the separation of church and state, but when it came to their vaunted “all men are created equal” concept, they clearly didn’t mean what they said. What they really meant was, “Down with the aristocracy, down with nobility! We want all rich, white, Christian men on the same top echelon of society, regardless of bloodline!” Also, “Can i purchase that human?”
It really needs to be stressed that the founding fathers were not in any way a single group with cohesive ideas. There’s a reason that 90% of early American history is these guys arguing about essentially everything.
Some were genuine true believers in Enlightenment philosophy. Some agreed with it in principle but were willing to make sacrifices for the sake of pragmatism. Some didn’t give a shit but saw which way the wind was blowing and realized it would be more profitable to go along. And some were simply virulent pieces of shit.
And some were simply virulent pieces of shit.
enough that slavery, racism, sex/gender inequality, the inherent exploitation of a capitalist system, and many other terrible things were enshrined into our constitution from the start.
as for their cohorts whose noble and enlightened ideas fell to the wayside? well, when they could stand up to a king but wither at the idea of standing up to their peers - especially in the name of profitability - there could hardly be argued to have been any honor in it. This just sounds like the “it’s a few bad apples” bs we hear whenever there’s some news story about police bruality/corruption.

Well… Yes. That’s how politics work. You need to live with and agree with those people about how we’re going to govern society. What do you expect to happen?
That, in retrospect, we would see them for who they really were, not for who we wished they were. 
Please. This is the MAGA philosophy. Kick and scream until you get what you want and burn everything down if you don’t. 🙄
Uh… I’m not following you. Reading what I’ve said, how could you connect me with their philosophy? How could you say that the simple act of protest equals MAGA philosophy?
Look, I don’t really think you believe that. And I’m not trying to shut anyone down. What I’m trying to say is that the founding fathers were a lot more flawed than most people realize, and we should stop worshipping them. It’s time we moved on and started forging a new republic founded on modern concepts of equality and equity rather than the compromised, elitist, and extremely bigoted attitudes of 300 years ago.
OK?
I was going to make a crack about them inventing a time machine to get Big Macs from like 20 years ago, but I actually kind of wish they’d bring back the angus 1/3rd pounder, those burgers were great.
You wouldn’t want the bigger 1/4 pounder?
Rather I want an 1/8 pounder
I’d laugh if all they did was make the bun bigger to make a “bigger” burger
