Is it possible for McDonalds to shrink the size of their burgers anymore ?
I had a quarterpounder yesterday and the bun didn't even cover the burger, you would think the bun costs nowt anyway, there was nothing else in there except a teaspoon of onion, ketchup, and pickle, the tiny portion size is just a joke now, and the coke i had was watered down to the very maximum. Unless i get a half price offer i'm never going back. Burger king is ten times better.

Rant over and out.

    Are you sure they haven't made the burger bigger?

    Also ask for no ice

    If they made the burger bigger then it wouldn't be a 1/4 pounder. ;)

    Unless, of course, they are making them larger (diameter) but thinner. :)

    Or they've reduced the fat content, so after cooking the burger is larger than previously.

    Burger King? I just can't persuade myself to cross the doorstep, every time I get images in my mind of an undercover documentary I saw. The pre-cooked (some time that day) burgers sat in a tub of tepid water to keep moist before being tossed on the flame grill for 30 seconds to warm them up. That's if the rats around the bins didn't fish them out first.

    I am sure their standards are perfect now, but then I am not a gambling man.
