McDonald's Shrinkflation!!

[NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre]

I haven't been to McDonald's for quite some time, but needed a quick meal tonight as I'm out so had a cheese burger and a McFlurry. I genuinely thought they'd given me a mini McFlurry as it was so small! Also the cheese burger is tiny. I can't actually believe how much smaller they are! When did they shrink?

Just me then!! 🤣

It's happening everywhere. I don't get food out at all anymore, it's like children's play food, the portions are so ridiculous

I had a double cheeseburger last week,first time for months and it just didn’t taste or look right,it was a drive through so couldn’t be arsed to go back and moan about it !

The McFlurry has been tiny for ages.

The last time I had a cheeseburger it seemed like it was a normal size.

I had a wrap a couple of weeks ago and it was also a normal size.

All the burgers are way smaller at McDonald's these days! Wraps are the same size I think but less chicken and more salad. Fries are the same size but I definitely find myself going for the large meals now whereas the medium was more than enough before. We've cut right back on eating there these days as we're often still hungry after.

But the cheeseburgers have always been the smallest cheapie option. Aimed at kids stepping up from the kids meal.

Get yourself a double quarter pounder with cheese or Big Mac if you want something decent!

The fries used to be spilling over the top of the packet. Not they're barely half full.

I noticed they’d shrunk their food down last year.

McFlurrys come in two sizes now, mini and regular? Maybe you got the mini? I still find regulars quite big.

I really really don't think ppl understand just how bad things are for the food industry - the fact McDonald's have put prices up & cut sizes/ingredients really should give you an idea of how bad things are for us little independent eateries.

The only thing I'll eat from mcds now is the cheeseburger (though thy chilli cheeseburger is good), large fries & the apple pie. The rest just seems crap compared to a couple of years ago even.

Yeah it's a combination of cost saving and trying to keep calories down.
