Well, since the original patties have always been 0.1lb precooked weight and the quarter pounder has always been (checks notes) 0.25lb precooked weight, I’d say shrinkflation is one thing that hasn’t come to McDs. Actual inflation? Oh, yes - $4 for a double cheese burger (with 0.2lb of beef) is straight up insane. That’s $10 for a half pound burger - nearly the same cost per ounce of burger as a Five Guys standard burger, which isn’t even in the same league.
more fat in them nowadays than there used to be, and the buns have less ‘substance’, too… oh, and the cheese is wafer thin now. so yea. ‘shrinkflation’ has definitely hit even mcdonalds
So are they returning to the original sizes of burgers before shrinkflation?
