McDonald's has confirmed the buns have been shrunk from a 4.5-inch bun (11.43 cm) to a 4-inch bun (10.16 cm).

Seems fair, it's not like McDonalds is the epitome of a good burger but when I make them myself, I like a bit of meat overhang.

wow there's some stupid ass questions on here

>what are the ingredients in french fries?
>Is it true that Beef Broth is used in the fryer oil?
>how do you get the post mix frm coca cola?

If you want meat overhang you should look in my pants

Welcome to the dumbasses that are Australian teenagers.

They need to import the abbos.

Just so you can have the Aussie experience.

Does Australian McDonalds not sell Chicken?
Because I'm pretty sure the pink slime is used to make Chicken mcnuggets, and that guy definitely focused on Beef as his answer.

>>5145271
in some other questions they said they are using only chicken breasts and some skin to make nuggets and other chicken. they order all their meat boneless and gutless

>>5145100

I don't know why people cry over MSC.

I used to work for a smallgoods company that used a shitload of it.

It's not like it's some fucking synthetic carcinogen or something it's just fucking chicken.

>>5143788
> welcome to the dumb asses that are teenagers

Ftfy

>>5146040
it's low quality meat.

>>5147439

So is offal and Pâté.

That's also assuming that you could call mcdonalds 'high quality meat'

>>5147441

>I'm pretty sure the pink slime is used to make Chicken mcnuggets

No, pink slime LFTB (Lean Finely Textured Beef).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_slime

>>5147450

>this guy believes the bullshit that one place does using ammonia

Dude I've done tours of inghams and steggles in Australia and they absolutely don't do that when making MSC.

>>5147441
when I'm eating at mc donalds at least I know I am not getting the pink slime and the quality is the same everywhere.

when I order a burger in some random ass joint, they can just as well give me minced dog meat

I even worked at meat production once, and McD didn't want to buy from my employer, because the quality was too low. Burger King bought it with smile on their faces and hand shaking

>>5147471
They use ammonia in USA

>>5147474

>doesn't realise the link in OP is from Australia

Stop posting please.

>>5147478
did I say anything about Australia?

>>5147482

No but everyone else in this thread is so fit in or fuck off we're full

>>5147483
I'm explaining from where comes the "myth" McD is using ammonia in the meat.

If you faggot are too stupid to comprehend, just kill yourself. Your parents can't put up with you living with them in your 30s anyway.

>>5147472
>at least I know I am not getting the pink slime

Who cares? It's meat just like any other ground beef, sausage filling, etc.

>>5147493
no, it's not.

>hurr durr meat is meat

then go and eat some guts and cow eyes and bones.

>>5147491

Dear Autist,

We have, since the OP (original post), been talking about McDonald's Restaurants in Australia.

If you can't handle that piece of vital information or you are having trouble comprehending basic geography then please stop skipping school to sit on 4chan.

Best of luck in your future studies,

Anon

>>5147497
nothing wrong with that picture.

It's not eating burgers that make you fat, it's eating too many

>>5147508
just do it. slice your wrists and go.

>wahhaaaaa why are burgers smaller than when I was 10 and tiny wahaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>5147515
actually, in USA they did reduce the Big Mac size. In Europe and rest of the world (like the shitbags in Australia) always had the same, smaller version.

Seems like they are running of things into the ground by gimping out on the consumer with less product. I expect franchises to start closing down from the lack of interest

>>5147523
here cheeseburger costs now twice than it costed 8 years ago

>>5147518

Read the second post

>>5147495
>no, it's not.

It is, by definition, meat. I'm sorry you can't accept this and that you can't enjoy it, but don't go around saying shit like that. People might actually think you know what you're talking about.

>>5147535
go back to eating leftovers even hienas wouldn't touch, nigga

>>5143743
>badum tsss

>>5147495

So you don't, then, eat hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, etc?

>>5147540
I only buy minced meat from a dude I know. the same with sausages.

You should try that once. You'd see how a real sausage should taste like

Dehydrated onions?
Some foreign GMO ingredients?

Those two fucking things alon man, fucking christ McD's.

>>5147552
>he thinks he can buy anything that contains soy and isn't GMO anywhere in the world

>>5143848
I thought you guys called them abbos?

>>5145100
"100% export quality *insert country* meat"
I love how they always use this phrase to claim that their meat is amazing when it doesn't mean shit except that it's from a certain country
>100% REAL authentic exotic interesting meat

>>5147523
>running things into the ground
>See *fluctuating American economy
They're just trying to deal with the more expensive product while keeping their "cheap but edible" image

>>5147544
>go to proper butcher
>ask for 400g round (or 1lb)
>ask for 100g fat (or a quarter lb)
>ask the butcher to run it through the mincer
There we go. No worries about pink slime or whatever. And it costs only marginally more than "normal" mince. 1lb@$2.99/lb round + ¼lb@49¢/lb fat = $2.79/lb 80/20 mince.
I do something similar for chicken mince, as well. The butcher sells chicken skins separately from meat and the skins are mostly fat. Also sells backs, necks and wing tips for stock making (69¢/lb).

>>5147594
But they're really not cheap. It's like 5$ more to get a burger and chips at most other places.

Grilld is fucking awesome value considering the quality. Salsa's and all the new Mexican places are tastier, and seemingly fresher with ingredients, sauces, etc.

Oporto is shit, and Hungry Jacks is still shit. But theres more choice now.

>>5147527
It's a huge problem and they have nothing to offer

>>5147594
Mcdonalds is not cheap not even close everything they have is premium price.

>>5147608
> Salsa's and all the new Mexican places are tastier, and seemingly fresher with ingredients

Never use the word 'fresh' again

>>5147608

Oh lawdy dem grill'd chips.

>implying a double whopper with cheese isn't 10/10 fast food

>>5145100
>boning rooms that supply our beef

>>5147591
but McDonald's meat usually is better quality than in fast food trucks and other crappy venues. Of course it's not as good as restaurant quality burger (mostly because they always serve it overcooked in McD), but it's still better than in your typical Joe's Burgers joint.

>>5147597
of course, it's a great idea too. But I have a guy I know, who doesn't charge me as much as other people, so in the end I don't pay much more than I would for regular sausage, but have premium quality.

sometimes he even has game sausages - delicious. Of course he's also a legal entity and has the meat tested properly.

this is $5 where I live, btw (200g of beef, medium rare as a standard)

>>5147499

I think the laughs from that picture come from asking like a neanderthal "Is mcdonalds health"

>>5147988

>>5147988

Dude, you're the one who's being a sperglord.

Are all Australians this obnoxious?

>>5148246
>McDonalds burger
>$7

Is that a Europoor thing or what? People go to McDonalds because it's cheap. No single item there is worth $7.

>>5148262
>$7 is a lot of money
lol

>>5148246
my point is your looks like shit, has no fries and costs more than mine

>>5148262
I don't think that burger is McDonalds, because something that small doesn't cost 5€ at McDonalds.

>>5148266
It is when you're at McDonalds, where everything costs around $1-$5.

>>5148275
It looks like a McDonalds burger, but I could be wrong. I knew a Norwegian girl who told us Big Macs cost a shitload more in scandi countries.

>>5148287
even at McDonalds patty doesn't look that badly cooked

>>5148287
A Big Mac meal in Norway costs $14

>>5148464
