Pushing pause on that mission to simplify, McDonald's has moved in the other direction and unleashed a whole family of different-size Big Macs. Yesterday, the original size was joined by smaller and larger extremes in two test markets, Dallas and central Ohio. Columbus Business First reports the trio will remain on store menus until June 6, at which point the chain will see how customers reacted.
At the more petite end is the new Mac Jr., a single-layer sandwich supposedly designed to be easier to eat, although the menu has six plain, smaller-size burgers already. The largest size has been dubbed the Grand Mac. It's admittedly still way punier than Japan's new Giga Big Mac, but unlike the downsized Mac Jr., it at least stays true to the spirit of the sandwich. More meat morphs it into a third-pounder (standard Big Macs are fifth-pound), and it comes on a larger bun with an extra piece of cheese.

Less product going out for the same money, like cereal boxes shrinking.
Getting ready for the roll out of all you can fries and
the kiosh ordering system.
Exactly why McDonald’s is circling the drain. Keep introducing more stupid products rather than focusing on the things that made you successful in the first place.

Look what $15/hr wrought
I know, add more bread!
No doubt so that they can raise the price on the now “big” big mac.
McDonald’s lost me as a customer for good this past weekend.
A Big Mac meal is now 6.99 + tax.
It looks like a biscuit.
Very shocking what’s happening to what were once half way decent business places around the country.
Adios to McD’s ........ Hello to In and Out!
And candy bars.
They can call it the “Little Big Mac”
Have you tried the current promo — 2 sandwiches for $5?
My gut says this is all for some sort of compliance with the Obama administration - McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy’s have all been undermarketing their burgers and upselling their healthier/tasteless fare to severe losses - meanwhile Hardees/Carl’s Jr. and Chic-fil-a continue to gain market share.
Some of this you can put on a matter of shifting markets but that the 3 major fast food chains can’t seem to market food properly anymore? That’s not stupidity - that’s ordered.
“Mac” would be smaller.
A McDouble with an added shot of Mac Sauce is yummy and doesn’t have all that extra bread and lettuce.
Couldn’t they just have small,medium,and large to keep it simple?
.
Well, they do have junior Whoppers.
Midsize Mac = Gateway Drug?
Mini-Macs?
