I've never consumed a Big Mac in my entire life. Is it worth the money? I'm not really impressed by McDonald's and think it's all crap.

>Change my mind

>> No.10429542

I remember the first time I experienced the divine construct that is the Big Mac. The starch, the protein, the vegetables, the condiments, all in perfect symmetrical balance with each other. Bite after voluptuous bite I questioned how I had managed to come as far in life as I had up until that very moment.

I couldn't help myself, I had long since begun to cry at the overwhelming emotions I was experiencing from this ordeal. I rolled myself over to the front of the store, before going around the counter into the kitchen. The employees seemed shocked to see me at first, but I quickly eased their apprehension when I asked to shake each and every one of their hands, tears still glistening on my cheeks. Every hand I took into my own, I leaned forward and kissed before thanking the individual for doing the Lord's bidding on Earth.

There is a God, and He does love us. The Big Mac will forever be proof of this for me.

No, but the Grand Mac is. If they aren't serving that I recommend you just leave and buy nothing.

I party with Big Mac every now and then. It's literally all I get, no fries or sodas or anything. When I'm not feeling as adventurous, I just get the Mac Jr. Same thing, just a smaller size.

Look at it this way, OP:

It's like the closest thing you'll get to a Krabby Patty. It's fast food, not super time-consuming to make, and it seems everybody loves them, except for those that haven't tried it. It actually looks better in person, but maybe that's because my closest McDonald's isn't a shithole, so take that as you will.

It's really just something that you have to try and see for yourself what the hype is all about. That's literally it.

It's fine if you're expecting fast food shit. But if you've actually made burgers you'll immediately recognize the meat is both dry and flavourless; relying entirely on condiments to make up for that

A big Mac has 3.2oz of beef while the grand has I think a third of a pound of beef.

its not worth it, i ate mcdonalds and burger king one day apart.

the big mac is really small to begin with, the meat patty is pathetic, and you get more salad than anything else in it.

literally any other restaurant is better, burger king was just nearby but even checkers has better burgers

You don't realize just how much you take the Big Mac or any burger for that matter for granted until you've spent two weeks in India. That Dubai Airport halal beef McDonalds was one of the best burgers I had in my life.

It depends entirely on your actual location. Big Macs all over the world have a distinguishable flavour that is linked to your location's standard quality for meat and vegetables.
I recommend you to travel the world to taste a variety of Big Mac flavours.

I agree: the 'club' layer in the middle, while an iconic piece of the Big Mac, also ruins it as a sandwich. You take a bite, half of it begins to slide out.

By the way, the OP image (from Wikipedia) is an imposter, or someone needs teaching how to make one again, because another horrific thing about the Big Mac is that the cheese is UNDER the bottom beef patty. Go ahead, check for me. No, I don't know why.

Tried a Big Mac about a month ago, shredded lettuce and big mac sauce are what make it good. Just annoying since it doesn't stay together due to the sauce, you'll probably have to fix it after every few bites.

Not really worth it. You're paying for the brand recognition they've drilled into your head with a catchy jingle. You're just getting the same amount of meat as the double cheeseburger that costs half as much with an extra slab of white bread to pad it out and a swipe of creamy sauce that you can get on anything else on the menu if you special order.

It's pretty good, probably one of the best things at McDonalds. I don't go there often but ocasionally I'll get a craving for a Big Mac and have to swing by. Give it a shot imo, also the secret sauce is just may and mustard and ketchup mixed together with some relish in it.

I lived that life for years, anon. I spent trip after trip abstaining, going for the Big N Tasty, getting mcdoubles, pies, etc. I thought I was too good for it honestly. I thought I was too fucking good for such a sandwich. I thought "oh, I'm sure it's not that great" and thought I was some kind of counter-ordering original, but then one day I went out on a limb, I stepped out of my comfort zone and took a risk and now that I didn't I couldn't turn back if I wanted to and I don't know why I would ever would.

I don't eat a lot of fast food, Anon, I'm not some fat disgusting piece of shit, I'm pretty lean and muscular, eat a regular diet of home cooked meals, etc, but I've experienced the greatness and now when I wind up at McDonald's I get the big mac. It's easy. It's good. It has earned it's reputation as the King of the fast food burger. Maybe it's not the "best" but it's an icon, and it's got the substance to back it up.

I was at a $20/night hostel in Little Havana. I awoke in a haze of pain and confusion with an stomach after a night of puking up uncooked alligator, shitty tacos, a medicore Goose Island IPA and OTC sleeping pills. I stepped outside into the heat and sunshine of the day and made my way down to the little cafe down the street. After the Cafe Cubano I stared at my empanada and decided "I can't eat shit right now" and threw it away. I went back to the hostel, got back in bed and tried to sleep a bit longer feeling very ill.

A bit later that afternoon, my Italian friend and I decided it was time to try to eat something. We made our way down, on foot, to the nearest McDonalds. On the street where the McDonald's was there was some kind of Street Fair (Calle Ocho, I found it was called) and I was absolutely disgusted by everything. Hispanics everywhere, fat as hell wearing next to nothing, that loud reggaeton beat ferociously blasting - completely unforgiving, the flags of all Latin countries plastered everywhere; "are we even in America anymore" I wondered to myself, and then, like an oasis in a desert of shit, the golden arches appeared.

The inside of the place was fucking wild. These trashy people were swarming everywhere taking a break from their little third-world fair. When I finally was able to communicate my order to the non-english speaking cashier, I ordered a grand big mac meal, extra large everything and in all of this madness, in all of this Cuban/Puerto Rican chaos, I found comfort - a little slice of America in a hispanic hell. The Glory of the Big Mac. Made me feel 10x's better.

Just use the McDonald's app and for your first order you get a $1 burger. Try it out.

I've built these from scratch at home. The best part is the microfine diced onion that's mixed in with their salad dressing in with the lettuce. Nothing else really matters. They're pounded flat burgers patties with a bunch of fucking bread. Onion with their salad dressing and meat. Simple.
