Of course they fucking are
They are both 1/4lb single patties, only real difference is no tomato on the quarter pounder but more cheese

Big mac is basically two small $1 Happy Meal patties priced at $5 because they sprinkle some lettuce and "secret sauce" on it. Oh yeah they also jam an extra bun in the middle FOR REASON.

Whopper give you more beef, but if you're a cheese lover you are fucked because Whoppers don't come with cheese and you have to pay a full fucking $1 for them to add a fucking slice of cheese to it.

Both are pure garbage, but IMO the Big Mac is better. The "beef" McDonald's uses is slightly less disgusting, it has an actual condiment instead of just mountains of mayo, and there's no fake, obnoxious tasting liquid smoke in it. I have access to much better burgers at so many local places though, plus grocery stores very nearby, so I have absolutely no reason to go to either restaurant unless I'm traveling and don't have the time to find a decent local spot

>Americans have loved McDonald’s Quarter Pounder ever since a franchisee introduced the iconic burger to the country in 1972. In the 1980s, A&W attempted to capitalize on the success of the Quarter Pounder—and drum up a little competition for Ronald and friends—by introducing a third-pound burger. The bigger burger gave consumers more bang for their collective buck. It was priced the same as the Quarter Pounder but delivered more meat. It even outperformed McDonald’s in blind taste tests, with consumers preferring the flavor of A&W’s burger.

>But when it came down to actually purchasing the third-pound burgers, most Americans simply would not do it. Baffled, A&W ordered more tests and focus groups. After chatting with people who snubbed the A&W burger for the smaller Quarter Pounder, the reason became clear: Americans suck at fractions. Alfred Taubman, who owned A&W at the time, wrote about the confusion in his book Threshold Resistance:

>More than half of the participants in the Yankelovich focus groups questioned the price of our burger. "Why," they asked, "should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald's? You're overcharging us." Honestly. People thought a third of a pound was less than a quarter of a pound. After all, three is less than four!

Larger patties actually aren't as good though, means the burger takes longer to cook, doesn't cook as evenly, and doesn't have a good browned surface/meat ratio. Two 3-4oz patties are better than one 6oz one, and that IMO is the real reason the 1/3rd pound burger didn't take off as much.
