Go back to the old prices and smaller portions! Greedy corporations know they raised prices too much and now they're trying to justify it with a larger coke.
Yep, much rather a small burger for an easy-peasy price. Better for the health AND for the budget.
They cut the portion sizes and kept the same prices, now they're making things bigger and selling it as a premium?
Yes if yall raising prices then i want what i pay for
but it still isn't what you paid for. charging $1.50 extra for the same size it USED to be pre-pandemic? heck outta here with those scams.
And the dumbing down continues… fatten em up, keep em complacent 🙄🤦🏽♀️
Where Cardi B and Offset. 😅
For what …$18 full meal
And a big crap
There is no point in talking to a nutritionist about McDo. No one goes to McDo's for healthy food. The burger and the weight loss pills are two different demographics. McDo knows this. I suspect we will not get this double burger in the Philippines any time soon. McDo is mostly a fried chicken (not nuggets) and rice restaurant here. 😎
It’s not “2” patties, it’s finally a regular size patty
dont forget that extra 1.50 you now owe ronald mcdonald for the privilege
But it's 30% more sodium and 40% more fat so it's really bad for your health - although it's no worse than before the downsizing.
Exactly!
Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂
@@killer2600do you go to McDonald's for healthy food?
I went to McD's for the first time in years the other day. $13 for a teeny tiny burger and fries. I'll NEVER go back. What an absolute scam fast food has become. Chili's offers three times the food at the exact same price.
People raised in low income environments don't typically consider health when buying food. They want cheap food that tastes good and fills them up! Even if they get rich they still eat out of the gas station and fast food joints!
We, the general public, want more nutritious, tasty, and bigger food that not only fills you up but with ZERO calories.
Zero calories? You better stick with lettuce and water only.
Or with as little cholesterol and sugar as possible
Just exercise more if you want to try one of the bigger foods like the Big Mac. Also you don't have to eat it if you don't want it. I would like to see bigger things. You DO NOT SPEAK for me.
Uh...
You know you *need* calories to survive, right?
Geez I am wondering why so many people with obesity 😡😡
Actually McDonald's is helping out. People were ordering two separateBig Macs ... Now they can order a double Big Mac and it will actually be fewer calories and lower sodium.
@@Luniel11haha. Lol so helpful.
@@PP7Silenced yes thank McDonald's for always thinking about healthy options 😁
@Luniel11 they just cut all they meat with 75% soy beans grounded up thats how they can make it bigger it's Mondo burger
@@Luniel11and i can tell McDonald's is giving you a check for these comments no human talks like you hahah
Just what we needed!
Rather go to Wendy's
Um…don’t we need to worry about the obesity epidemic? This is disgusting.
So previously you got 3.2 oz pre-cooked weight of patties on a big mac, now you can get 6.4 oz pre-cooked weight of patties with the double big mac. Still less than the starting weight of a double quarter pounder, although adding even more mayo-based mac sauce likely makes it rival or surpass the double quarter pounder in calories.
Instead of adding 2 additional patties, how about improving the taste? There's nothing on the McDonald's menu that even tast good anymore.
So much for public announcements on obesity 😳
People do not go to fast food for health. It's that simple. Most people who complain would never eat at a McDonald's, to begin with. It's like when Kraft and Kellog changed their recipes to make stuff healthier and to shut up these talking heads only to see sales plummet because it isn't what the consumers of the product wanted.
Not like the small portions they've been serving up til now
Two points. First Ozempic is NOT a weight loss drug, it’s for Diabetes. Second, fast food places did offer portion sizes like this 30 years ago. The Big Mac used larger components back in the 90’s. They used larger buns and burgers. The modern large Big Mac is really the original.
Ill stick to cooking at home and shopping at sams club. That subway footlong cookie is 5 dollars, i remember when they had actual sandwhich footlongs for 5 bucks
The grand mac was the largest I want that one back it’s not hard to ask for a double Big Mac add extra Pattie’s which I’ve been doing but you can’t ask for the grand mac if they don’t have the large Pattie’s abd large buns that was here in 2017
How about offering us with better food?
Boo this is not the Grand Mac. This is just a Big Mac with 2 extra patties that you could always customize using the app.
The cartoonish dystopia presented in wall-e becoming more and more reality
George Carlin says," the media is part advertising, commercial, marketing, infomercial, public relations, news etc......
The media is all advertising when the news shows off new bombs they're advertising it to the world when the iron dome was on news and videos showing what it could do thats like a car commercial for the war
It’s probably just the regular size it was before shrinkflation.
That will be 30 dollars please!
I have never had a Big Mac in my life before and it’s never looked appetizing to me at all.
Well you don't want people eating this stuff maybe you should try to lower grocery prices! Apparently it costs less to go to a fast food place compared to buying groceries to make a meal at home.
That four patty Big Mac is just the Hercules Burger come back.
For some reason I can only find videos about the Happy Meals and the Triple Cheeseburger they still had, but no the Hercules Meal.
Who remembers it?
I don’t want bigger portions I just want healthy proportions and cheaper prices 😭
Healthy portion of a burger. 🙄😂
The most serious question to ask one self is, what happens after this life? A good desire to have is becoming more Christ like and able to leave this world a better place than you found it. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life do so before your last breath. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life, bow your head, close your eyes and from a sincere heart ask him to cleanse you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior. Each of us have a short time on this earth and these days are getting darker and darker, may you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and deny yourself and pick up the cross daily, he loves you.
Everything was made smaller. SO supersized is normal size for higher price.
Go eat a salad this is about burgers
A well balanced diet is a burger in both hands.
Well, I don’t even eat this once a month at any fast food place because it’s too expensive so I want more calories and more fat
Still just one slice of cheese though.
Laughs in Canada (we've had the Double Big Mac on our menu for years).
Wall-E here we come.
Why can't just Mc donalds just go back to the old days, like the 80s 90s? That's what people do really want just tasted better back than walking inside a mc donalds now is boring the staff is now lazier and they take their time to take your order they only worry about drive thru orders even if they have 3 -4 customers inside waiting to order believe me I'm a truck driver and I've experienced this everywhere I go towns, cities, states and I don't don't stop much anymore for one reason I make healthier choices but sometimes you want to enjoy a burger but it's no longer the same.
Bigger portions more like unhealthy portions.
This is why we have a health problem in America.
Welcome to America. Where the message of climate change and taxes on junk foods are in reality just political talking points. All I see are subdivisions of 3,000 square foot homes being built and junk food still piled into shopping carts in every grocery store. The power of marketing is unreal.
For real. American here and I've been wondering how long its gonna take for the majority of this country to wake up, especially on issues like these. Who would've thought the land of freedom was also the land of complacency
Only food that doesn't upset my stomach at MC'donalds is the ice cream and egg mcmuffin. Everything else is 🤮
Here in Australia you can order any time - you just ask for 2 extra meat patties , nothing special - what a waste of media time
Because that's what Americans need is larger portions.
For real. Expect higher obesity rates to come after
Doesn't a regular qp have more meat than a reg big mac anyways
Soo McDonald's is making the burger its original size that it was before , i can promise you McDonald's is not stupid they've found a way to charge more for the same thing 4 patties with half the weight haha for 5 dollars more nice scam and they burgers are 75% soy not meat
Could that be why their meat patties look more grayish than brown?
More value doesn't equal more quantity it's better quality
We want bigger French fry portions, not more patties.
People think they can EAT whatever they want.... and then just take a pill (later on) to lose weight. Nothing confusing here.
So in America, there's no Double Big Mac? Canada has it in the menu for a long time (though I have never ordered it).
I still prefer other counterparts.
So… quarter pounder?
McRib FOREVER! ;-P
There's a double quarter pounder deluxe with bacon.
It cost about $15 for a meal in these parts. Pass.
Been having one double big mac a day and feel great
Just once in a great while have a burger
those patties are so much thinner
America is already fat enough.
Awesome. More choices for people is always better.
no
The fats and the unhealthy are happy 😊, but the healthy one's could careless
Probably will cost you a hefty penny and a bigger belly! 😂
No thanks, l would rather get In n Out or Habit if I want a burger, not some frozen patty made out of who knows what.
_IF I HAD STOCK I'D SELL_
And super priced 15 dollars a combo
I can’t even eat two patty’s cause I love toppings so that’s crazy ..
Now, I gotta go check out that 7" cookie...
Merica!✊🏼🇺🇸
Double big mac?? What a joke. Two patties now is what was the original size of one patty. Just a few short years ago. And the patties extended to the edges of the buns. I mean, are people really that stupid now???
It seems smaller portions today
I hate Big Mac's
Time to watch super size me again
Ok I’m going get my car keys to McDonald’s drive thru now
I want some snacks and cookies now
Zero wow factor. 😂😂😂😂😂
hope shrink-flation goes away later on...
double 1/4 pounder
Eat at home
This made the news?.......
Yum? 🤮
Capitalism continuing to innovate
Uh, Indian dude says "that sounds great" when referring to a hamburger that now has twice as much beef on it. Do I have that right?
Riveting comment there Derek......Please comment more.
I go to McDs when I specifically want the flavor combination of a Big Mac. Of the two, I actually prefer a Whopper (I like the slight char flavor that the flame adds). Not a big flattop grill burger man. But, I remember Burger Chef and the A&W drive-ins, and every town had their own local burger joint (before chains)...
This is just dumb.
Mc-Heart Attack
How can one mouth open wide to eat the double big mac
Garbage
GROSSS MFERS
Noooooo lol
