I don't eat McDonald's particularly often but I'd be down for a Mac Jr.

Anyone know how many calories it's sporting?

 

[SDCowboy]

Yup, my thoughts too... The idea is appealing to me though. If it feels barely more than a mcdouble then not sure how regularly I'll be getting it.

I don't think I'll ever understand McDonalds current pricing structure. It's like the how the 10pc McNuggets costs the same as the 20pc. Or all soda sizes costing the same price. It just makes zero sense to me.

 

[intheinbetween]

I'd hit them

Does the Grand Mac use the Quarter Pounder patties?

my problem with the regular big mac is that the meat is so small

No, but the meat is bigger

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Where's the picture of Fat Mac when we need it.

 

[dbztrk]

I ordered the Grand Mac and the meat was dry and the bread was hard.

 

[kevo_huevo]

Someone beat Xia to the fast food breaking news, holy shit.

my immediate reaction too lol

 

[BFIB]

So normal McDonald's then?

A big mac with quarter pounder patties is still the best thing I've ever had from McD

Can you request that as a special order? Or do you just buy both and bastardize each.

 

[gutter_trash]

they just need to toss out the useless middle bun and it would be great

According to their website 460 calories.

The Big Mac is 540 calories.

The Grand Mac is 860 calories.

 

[Jebusman]

I'm surprised they would go to the trouble of coming up with a new size of patty for the Grand Mac rather than just introduce something like the Double Big Mac (like up here in Canada).

 

[DOWN]

How much does the Mac Jr cost?

Varies but most places have it at $1.99

Does the Grand Mac use the Quarter Pounder patties?

my problem with the regular big mac is that the meat is so small

It's total meat weight is 1/3 pound, so it has more meat than a quarter pounder but less that a double quarter pounder

they just need to toss out the useless middle bun and it would be great

I just say "no middle bun" when I order

 

[Falchion]

Never tried a Big Mac before, maybe I'll make the Grand my first.

 

[Arkeband]

It's weird that the promo burgers used in the OP are kind of "normal" looking, as in they're kind of drooping and uneven, a far cry from the perfectly brushed and primped Big Macs you usually see in ads.

Is the term 'American cheese' supposed to distract from the fact that it's basically melted yellow plastic instead of the real thing? Always bugged me

 

[Kaladin]

wrong thread...

 

[spawnsniper]

so the original size that it was a long time ago?

 

[ZOONAMI]

American cheese is American because it's delicious on cheeseburgers.

White American cheese from a deli is actually pretty solid (not plasticy).

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The only Mac they should be adding is Mac Tonight.

 

[Gigglepop]

So they are just making the big mac as big as it used to be? Because they've shrank it over the years.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Shoulda been Little Mac

 

[segasonic]

Big Mac is such a strange product. Who ever thought: There's not enough bread in the burger, let's add a middle layer made of bread!

And I hate the sauce. Tastes like pure vinegar to me...

[BobTheFork]

Grand Mac? No Mac Daddy?

Or at least a Monster Mac

Saying American cheese isn't the real thing is like saying meatballs aren't real meat. By legal definition, American cheese is made from a blend of cheeses, usually cheddar.

 

[Lee]

Used to get a McDouble +mac sauce +lettuce for like a $1.25. I imagine that's exactly what a Mac Jr. is. Someone should put in two orders, the one above and then one for a Mac Jr. and do an un-boxing un-bunning video.

 

[firehawk12]

Someone already did this

There's so much bread in that... it looks so bad. lol

 

[Auctopus]

We've had this thread about 2 months ago.

Still dumb they didn't call the big one "The Mac Daddy"

 

[richiek]

So McDs is teaming with Apple? /s

Cheese product.

 

[Saganator]

Ah man, we used to have the big and tasty.

I guess it's basically a deluxe quarter pounder so it makes sense they got rid of it as you can still order it with lettuce tomato and onion.

I remember the Big N Tasty also had mayo on it, right? I miss the Big N Tasty :/

 

[HammerOfThor]

I bet the Grand Mac is the size the Big Mac used to be before it shrank over the years.

I'm the the mini is going to be the regular size within 10-20 years.

 

[Avenger54321]

The grand mac actually looks delicious. Why did I clicked this thread? Now I'm starving...

 

[norm9]

Maybe the workers will stop forgetting to put the cheese on my Big Macs.

 

[Ruff]

1/3 pound? Why would I want a burger that's even less than 1/4.

 

[wondermega]

Just bring back the McDLT

 

[nekkid]

They're no Mega Mac

huh

 

[The Lamonster]

I actually really miss the Big Mac Snack Wrap. Would much rather have that than this.

 

[paperboywriter]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks "why isnt there a fast food op for this stuff" when i see a thread like this.
same goes for trump tweets.

 

[LOLCats]

mac jr is good, had one yesterday. Now i dont have to pay 5$ for a BigMac when i really want a small big mac.

 

[SURGEdude]

No interest as long as the main selling point is still that disgusting "sauce".

 

[Harlock]

I hate pickles

 

[nekkid]

I hate pickles

Just as much as you hate magic?

I like the way you think. You could always try creating one!

It's kinda neat that they're using sorta ugly, but realistic, shots of the burgers.

I didn't even notice, but you're right. Now if the cheese could be a bit more solid at the corners, it would be perfect.

Edit: "cheese"
