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.

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.

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

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

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.

Now you need to eat 3. They need to change it's name to Baby Mac.

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..

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.

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