Are the burgers in McDonald getting smaller globally?

[Kenshin]

I think it is, I remember a few years back, their burgers were a lot bigger. Now I can eat 3 to fill me up. And I think this is globally getting smaller.

A few years ago you were a lot smaller?

I knew someone is going to say that. But the Fillet O Fish is definitely getting smaller. In the UK, recent years they have cut back the cheese to only half a slice, and the fish burger is really small.

I haven't gain any weight, and so my size have nothing to do with it.

[Kenshin]

Actually just did a Google search and found a lot of people also found McDonald's burger is getting smaller.

They are smaller. It's a life saving measure to cut down on the amount of cardboard people consume.

[thms]

The buns got bigger though

Everything gets smaller as companies try to cut costs.  You can't just have a company that makes a profit - every year you need to increase that profit or shareholders get upset.

I remember going to Boston Pizza (a Canadian franchise) many years ago - "baked with cheese" meant you couldn't even see the pasta underneath - all you could see was cheese.

Now they measure it out exactly and you get barely enough cheese to taste.

They're definitely smaller, another reason to never bother buying that junk and just make your own stuff or get a sandwich

[techgeek]

Why would you eat that junk anyways. jk.

Yeah, I think it has because in japan its way smaller, when I was over there. Like the fries has be x large to be a regular here.

Then again everything in portion is smaller.

I just loved the Fillet O Fish, I am talking about the one which they made many years ago. Not this crap they are selling now. But the thing is Burger King's burger is still the same size. So I guess Mc Donald is just greedy. I heard McD makes money from real estate more than selling burgers.

Do you have Aberdeen Steak Burger in Burger King outside the UK? That is my favourite.

[Kiki112]

YES!!

I don't have McDonalds in my town but when I went to Osijek a couple months ago I saw them being so small that I thought hell, I'll need to eat 10 of these
I think they were bigger some time ago 

[Kenshin]

YES!!

I know, I remembered Big Mac used to be a challenge to see if you can finis one of them. Now you need to eat 3. They need to change it's name to Baby Mac. 

[Kiki112]

Maybe your belly is getting locally bigger.

[Kiki112]

Maybe your belly is getting locally bigger.

it's not only about eating
they look so small in my hands too

it's not like I tripled in size

[techgeek]

Your missing out though.

Here in the US, theres this wonderful place called "in n out" where the price is nearly close and get better burger lol.

[mindfulmojo]

Smaller burgers is an example of hidden inflation...

You will see this with products in the supermarkets too,

price stays the same, but you get less of what you are buying.

Damn fiat currency.. 

[skull88]

Just as small as they've always been. Don't think they can shrink them more here.

I prefer Burger King, bigger burgers and better taste.

[Akka]

High Price? Mac (basically all FastFood) is so cheap that I wonder what they put in there.

Food portions have gotten bigger since the 60s, does that mean it's been deflation for the last 50 years?
