Macdonalds cheese burger...

So only ever having bought the saver one.... is there any difference between this and the regular quarter pounder which is 3 times the price. Is it just bigger... ?
On on the subject who's on for a petition for a reasonable chicken nuggets choice Grin
And thanks but I dont need a lecture why I shouldn't be eating macdonalds (this is mumsnet after all!)

Yes.

The basic cheeseburger is a thin patty, basic bun. Bit of tomato sauce and some diced onions.

The quarter pounder is a seeded bun, bigger patty, gherkin, ketchup, mustard, onion and cheese.

blvdbrokendreams · 01/07/2020 21:11

Quarter pounder has quarter onion. So proper chopped pieces of onion. The cheeseburger has the little bitty onion pieces. Same meat. Just bigger. And two slices of cheese. Worked there three years 😂

What do you mean saver rather than the regular quarter pounder?!
Is there an even cheaper version of the standard cheeseburger?I'd not say the quarter pounder was the regular

Horehound · 01/07/2020 21:12

But if you are comparing the normal cheeseburger to a quarter pounder I think the quarter pounder is better quality meat and I think you get more salad etc

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 01/07/2020 21:13

Comparison.

Except I don't think the saver one has sesame seeds.

They are 2 different things..... one is a cheeseburger and one is a quarter pounder 🤷🏼‍♀️
What’s a reasonable chicken nugget choice?!

youngestisapsycho · 01/07/2020 21:18

The cheeseburger also has mustard and gherkin

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 01/07/2020 21:19

The quarter pounder with cheese is far superior to the lowly cheeseburger

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 01/07/2020 21:20

The basic cheeseburger is also in the Happy Meal. So it's childsized.

Gingerkittykat · 01/07/2020 21:21

What do you mean by a reasonable chicken nugget choice?

AmandaHoldensLips · 01/07/2020 21:22

The quarter pounder is like eating a brick.

The double cheeseburger on the other hand... now we're cooking.

bookmum08 · 01/07/2020 21:26

If you don't want to go for the quarter pounder then you could have the double cheeseburger. Which is the basic cheeseburger but with two burgers.
But I prefer the quarter pounder. Always has much more tomato sauce and better onion. I don't like Big Mac's as much because I don't like the sause (always ask for without) and it doesn't have tomato sause which just seems wrong. Also all the lettuce falls out and makes a mess.
Conclusion - Quarter Pounder with Cheese is there best. Just without the pickle. Because urgh - I hate the pickle.

purpleme12 · 01/07/2020 21:28

They taste completely different
But I have to say I think they're both nice in their own way
You should definitely try it

yellowsunset · 01/07/2020 21:29

All of their food is crap.

Titsywoo · 01/07/2020 21:30

The cheeseburger is better. They are both a sugary, fatty, delicious treat but the quarterpounder with cheese (which I used to love) is really greasy nowadays.

Smurfy23 · 01/07/2020 21:30

I love a quarterpounder but find its always a bit hit and miss. You sometimes get one thats been sat under the lamp since last Tuesday and tastes like warm rubber. A freshly made one though is the business.

Horehound · 01/07/2020 21:30

I actually prefer the cheeseburger bit they are too small so I buy two!

Coldemort · 01/07/2020 21:30

By reasonable chicken nuggets choice I mean not either 6, or for £1 more 20! How about a 10 option? Grin

I have had like three chicken nuggets in my whole life. I don't get the appeal of those.
I do like the burgers..the big tasty is good. And the Southern fried chicken wrap is good too

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 01/07/2020 21:32

@AmandaHoldensLips we have that as a chaser to accompany the quarter pounder Grin

WorryWartOne · 01/07/2020 21:40

@Coldemort is now the time to tell you there’s a nine nugget option 😂

LittleMissNaice · 01/07/2020 21:41

There's a 9 nugget option.
And the quarter pounder has TWO gherkins and is therefore the best thing on the menu.

Cottagepieandpeas · 01/07/2020 21:43

Best thread ever. Quarter Pounder - yum.

youngestisapsycho · 01/07/2020 21:45

But is the 9 nugget option available as a meal?

ShaunaTheSheep · 01/07/2020 21:46

Why would you get 9/10 nuggets when you could get 20 and share the leftovers (DD scoffs all 20 though)

Double cheeseburger all the way.
