What's even the point of the Big Mac anymore?

What is it? It's just a McDonald's double cheeseburger with an extra bun, mac sauce, lettuce, and sesame seeds. That's it.

And it costs $3.79.

You could get a double cheeseburger at McDonald's for $1.29 and have them put the mac sauce on it for no extra charge. So you're paying $2.50 for a handful of lettuce, an extra bun, and sesame seeds.

You could buy three double cheeseburgers with pickles, onions, and mac sauce for just slightly more than a single Big Mac.

Why does the Big Mac still sell?

On top of that, who eats pickles on their Big Mac? There's already lots of pickle relish in the mac sauce. Isn't that too much pickle to have both?

It exists for the same reason that a McDonald's cheeseburger will cost you $1.09, while a McDouble, which is a regular McDonald's cheeseburger but with an extra patty, costs $1.00. 9 cents less for an extra patty.

It's a quarter extra where I live, but yeah, still $2.25 saved.

You know that you're eating too much fast food when you start using menu hacks.
P.S. Big Macs are good.

I can make a double cheeseburger for slightly less than that and it won't taste like a dry turd.

Order your burgers with steamed buns.
Order fries without salt to get them fresh every time. Also works for Filet-of-Fish without cheese.

top kek. can't you just say you want them fresh? too assburgers to ask directly? also, in my city you can see fries easily, so you know when they were made.

also, in mcd the longest time i've seen fries being already made was under 2 minutes

also, again, in my mcdonald's fries oven or whatever it's called is easily visible so you can see if you are getting fresh fries or not.

they can't fuck you over.

fucking pointless, they make a new batch like every 10 minutes at most. If you're ordering during a period of low activity like late at night they usually have to make them fresh anyway because of a policy that requires them to throw out fries that have been sitting out.

If you order fresh fries during a busy period all you're going to get is fucking undercooked fries.

this. I think they have a policy that fries can't stay on the tray for longer than 3 minutes and the tray is directly above the oil so they are still warm

this is a good trick but only for some dirty kebab joints where they can microwave you some old fries, not mc donalds
