Big macs bigger?

Uther · 6 Jan 2012 at 22:36

After watching an American cooking programme where they are making horrendously sized burgers and other foul looking stuff, eaten by horrendously oversized customers, the thought jumped into my head about Mcdonalds!
So, the question is (finally):
Are McD's burgers bigger in America, or the same size all over the world?

They're not smaller, you're just further away.

In my experience, Big Macs are far larger in the States. As are the portions of fries and drinks too.

In America they have bigger atoms so everything is bigger, 100% scientific fact proven by my friend who knows about negative energy and homeopathy.

This.

You're also allowed to refill your drink as many times as you like.

Over in the UK they are a waste of money. £5 + for a meal and it doesn't even fill you up yet so many calories in the meal. If you want a nice meal go to pizza hut, all you can eat buffet for £6. That'll fill ya up!

I believe they're the same size but you can supersize over there but can't here...

Burger King meals are bigger imo. £7 meal deal at their Alton Towers branch 3 months back. Can't remember their names, but it included their double burger, their largest fries portions and their largest drink portion and I couldn't finish it.

The actual Big Mac itself is the same size in the USA as it is over here.

The sizing for drinks and fries are different though - medium is what we have as large, and large is a size above medium.

I really can't remember the big mac's being any bigger, however you get more fries and you can keep refilling your drink, plus supersize aka bucket drinks are epic.

Same size...portion size for sides is bigger though.

I totally agree with you buddy! If I'm having a Maccy D's, I'll ask for their single or double cheeseburger. Their fries are nice though but it irks me that they rarely give me the ketchup even though I asked for some in the order, then I have to ask again.

What is wrong with your taste buds! Big macs are nice and BKs fries are so much better!
