    I had a quarterpounder yesterday and the bun didn't even cover the burger

    I agree it may be easy to misconstrue what was said (the OP is a little ambiguous), but I read the above as being the BUN is too small with respect to the burger. Whether that's because the bun has got smaller or the burger has got bigger, who knows? But OP seems to be complaining about the bun not the burger.

    I defy anyone to say that the Big Tasty (not on sale presently) is "small" or "smaller than it used to be". It is huge.

    Too much for me, unless I am very hungry. :)

    Does anyone know if there is a particular reason why the QP Deluxe always goes on sale at the same time as the Monopoly promo?

    No I suggest you read the OP's post again.

    They were complaining about the burger shrinking not the bun shrinking.

    If you think this is a vent about the fact that Mcdonalds burgers are now bigger than they used to be then I think you've got completely the wrong end of the stick!

    I have re-read the post. You are still wrong.

    They complain about the burger shrinking, then go on to reference the size of the bun. Therefore the only way their post makes sense is if by 'burger' they mean 'the whole product', and not just the meat patty.

    The burger hasn't shrunk.

    It's just an optical illusion known as Wagonwheel Syndrome.
  • i emailed Mcdonalds and asked what the weight or size of the big mac was when it first appeared on the menu, they refuse to answer.
