Infuriatig "Big" Mac is now Little Mac 🤬

Post image

Payed €6.40 in France for a "Big Mac" that's smaller than a McChicken

Edit: To answer "Why McDonald's?" Every time I travel outside of the United States, I like to compare McDonald's from that country and see if the quality is indeed better.

After this experience, my "try out McDonald's" experience in other countries has likely ended.

It's baffling that there are still so many McDonald "restaurants" in the Netherlands compared to Burger King. Despite the bad price/ quality/ quantity ratio.

Being here first and spent alot of money on commercials certainly helps.

But to me, only bad products spent a whole lot on commercials to fool people into thinking your product is actually good while it's not.

I went to BK for the first time in a long time this weekend. Everything was freshly cooked and the burger was as big as it was when i was 15. 10/10 BK over McDonalds moving forward.

The wopper is so much better than big mac. I never understood why people preferred McDonald's.

I like whoppers too, I just find them more generic I guess, similar to quarter pounders in mcdonalds. Big mac is always very unique tasting.

i agree. the bottom half of the Big Mac, to me, is one of life's greatest pleasures, and i've experienced many pleasures.

Some people like the McDonald's fries and thus they are clients of them. I'm not joking, that's the reason for some people.

Yeah i heard that about fries. I kind of agree but not enough to go there. Kids like McDonald's too so parents are forced to go there.

Often it's not a preference necessarily but just availability. People go to whatever is closest/most convenient.
