They should just release the Mega Mac in America. It's here in Korea and it's freaking awesome.

Alaska already has this, but in it's superior form

It's the Denali Mac now, but it's the same product. Uses 1/4lb patties instead of the normal ones, so you get a half pound of meat.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

I don't need this silly Mac Jr. menu item

I'll have a McDouble - no ketchup, no mustard, add lettuce, add Mac sauce - boom

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

big macs use 1/10 lb patties..... i knew they were small ass patties BUT COME ON MAN..

i was hoping the grand mac was going to be a double quarter pounder in big mac form.


so disappointed.

A 1.6 ounce patty?

Regular McDoubles are good though, add the Mac sauce and then boom.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Better option.

1. Get two McDoubles
2. Ask to substitute Big Mac Sauce for Ketchup and Mustard (free)
3. Ask to add shredded lettuce (free to 25 cents depending on restaurant)

Boom, you now have two Big Macs, minus one piece of cheese, the middle bun, and sesame seeds for cheaper than a single actual big mac.

Well, it's more expensive for one. But yeah that would be an okay solution.

The killer feature of the Mac Jr. is that it's probably going on their "2 for 2.50" menu which makes it really affordable.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I'm calling it little Mac

 

[Volimar]

My mom really liked the Mac Jr when it was tested here. She'll be happy to hear it's coming back.

 

[Kaladin]

What if I want less goddamn lettuce? Every Big Mac I have got from any McDonalds has had more lettuce than meat.

This is why I get a Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese.

 

[LoveCake]

Never get this stuff in the UK

 

[timetokill]

The problem with the Big Mac is it's too expensive by like 33% - 50%

When it was 2 for $5 Big Macs I felt like I was getting a deal. Now when it's like $4.29 or whatever for one, I feel ripped off.

 

[Bad_Boy]

fuck, now i want mcdonalds.

i think i may go grab some beef and make my own big macs with homemade sauce.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Had the Grand Mac. Ok, its pretty damn big. Its just a giant Big Mac. So if you like the BM, you'll love the GM.

FYI I'm a lardass, so when I say its pretty damn big, it is.

 

[Odrion]

is it like, just more big mac? not meatier?

 

[Hot Coldman]

GRAND MAC

...FLEENSTONES?!? awwww

You're one of those annoying drive through people.

 

[Log4Girlz]

The patties are wider and thicker. Not quarter pounder size, but I prefer these. Its...a similar texture to the Mac patties...they are larger Mac patties.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I'm sad because I really thought the "Grand mac" was going to be a monster Mac.

Same here.

 

[watershed]

McDonald's is a totally directionless company right now. They swing from one strategy to another.

 

[Dancing Queen]

What the fuck is 1/6 lb

 

[Brianimaniac]

What the fuck is 1/6 lb

You take 1 lbs.

And it's 1/6 of that.

 

[RedAssedApe]

should have called it the big mac pro

 

[UnObtainium17]

Grand mac should have been the size of big mac in the first place. Big mac isn't as big as what the word big promises.

Like a lot products, its size has been reduced over the years. The "Grand Mac" is probably around the size it was at least in the 90s, maybe 80s I don't know exactly when the shrinking events took place since I didn't go there frequently enough but it's actually take notes or have solid memories of.

 

[Stasis]

I used to always sub in Mac sauce for mustard on a quarter pounder back in the day.

We've had double big Macs in Canada/Quebec for a really long time though.

 

[Tizoc]

lol
We had these over here in the Middle East months ago. It was a limited time offer kind of thing.

 

[mrkgoo]

Those look yum. I'm a pretty big fan of the Big Mac. the super big one keeps the balance of ingredients, but makes it larger. Never a fan of the double pattie versions.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

Big Mac Slim
Big Mac Pro

 

[TedMilk]

In the UK we get the Big Tasty, which is 100x better than a big mac anyway.

 

[Timedog]

The mac Jr has more meat than the mac. I'm assuming its cheaper too.

 

[fade_]

Why dont they just call it 70's Mac?

 

[Stereogatari]

The two burgers on the right look identical. Is it really gonna be that big of a difference between the three?

Big Mac Pro

 

[styl3s]

Once i found out i can get mac sauce on anything i stopped caring about the big mac because i hate fast food lettuce although i would try the Grand Mac at least once.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Why dont they just call it 70's Mac?

Heh, I saw that after I made my last post. But yeah... Pretty much.

 

[jwk94]

Why dont they just call it 70's Mac?

Wtf why is the big Mac so big?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Whatever happened to focus and paring down their menu. This was like the number one reason cited for orders taking forever

They already tried that in test restaurants. Last I heard it was a disaster.

 

[Haint]

Huh? Nearly every US location has gotten rid of all the more modern items that utilized unique ingredients (by Mcdonalds standards). Check the online national menu, they now have nothing but the bog standard 50 year old burgers that all share the same patties/ingredients, and the same old staple of grilled/fried chicken/fish. I don't know if it's doing better or worse for them financially, but I for sure never go there. Who the fuck wants a cardboard burger with nothing but ketchup, mustard, and freeze dried onions when all the "new age" chains that have been eating their lunch in growth/earnings let you build what you want out of like 25 toppings?

 

[raiot]

They totally blew the chance to call it the "Bigly Mac"...

 

[redmetal86]

Why dont they just call it 70's Mac?

What the Fuddruckers...

 

[Lotto]

I'll buy both and layer them between a slice of bread and create the Mega Mac.

edit: what the fuck there's already a mega mac

 

[YoungFa]

Wtf why is the big Mac so big?

Theres a reason its called a big mac.

 

[itwasTuesday]

A 1.6 ounce patty?

Weird Al doesn't curse.

 

[Bad_Boy]

A big mac with 2 extra patties is a thing. Nice.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

American McDonalds needs to step it up. It's easily the worst compared to in other countries. It makes zero sense.

They should just release the Mega Mac in America. It's here in Korea and it's freaking awesome.

On the one hand that would definitely by my order if I went to mcdonalds, so I wish they'd bring that in to the UK. On the other hand, that would definitely by my order if I went to mcdonalds, so I'm glad that they don't have it here!

[triplestation]

Buy 2 triple cheeseburgers

Buy thousand island dressing

Discard a set of buns

 

[Fried Food]

looks like too much sauce on the mac jr.

 

[Walter White Walker]

For those who think the Big Mac is a bit too big, McDonald's is coming out with the Mac Jr. For those who think the Big Mac isn't quite big enough, McDonald's is unveiling the Grand Mac.

I swear I could remember the new CEO Steve Easterbrook acknowledging that they've got way too much stuff on their menu, and yet here we go again. I know when I look at their menu it's like looking at a giant wall o' text.

Cover me in special sauce if old.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

My McDonald's has had these two sandwiches for a few months now.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

In for a Grand Mac for sure.

EDIT: Why'd you remove the pic, OP?

EDIT2: Why the heck aren't we getting the Mega Mac instead?! I'm sad now.
