Don't buy McDs often tbf so maybe this isn't a new thing but 'Big Mac'???

Should be renamed just 'Mac'!

@penjil no, burgers always come in quarter or half pounders in the UK! As in the quarter pounder in McDonalds?

Big Macs used to be made with two four ounce (pre-cooked) burgers, and now they are made with two burgers less than two ounces.

Probably not a bad thing to eat less mechanically recovered meat I suppose.

Edited

Ounces?
Are you American?

In the UK, surely the weight would be in grams?

Or... are you holding it further away from you...?

Their chips are far skinnier too. McDs food is inedible to me now. It tastes like nothing. Less salt or something? I appreciate it was never amazing but I liked the odd cheeseburger and fries. Never bother now.

Even the large fries are not large fries.

Not just the Big Mac. Check out, well, everything. If it's not shrinkflation, it's outright fraud in just jacking the price up instead.

I'm sure they got smaller, far too much salad and gherkins.
