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.

No, it will be the Mac Mini, and it will have an Apple logo on the top.
Gotta pay for the $15 minimum wage “workers”.
I like Wendy’s. However, I checked and their pay is $8something/hour. Now I understand why the service is pretty low-functioning.
I on a rare occasion get breakfast at McD’s.
***************
That’s my limit also on McDs. I do like their coffee.
Everything from the French Fries to the apple pies to the Filet of Fish went in those deep fryers full of beef fat.
Everything today taste like the box it comes in.
I typically eat at family owned restaurants today that make fresh cut fries. At least they have apple cider vinegar on the tables to give the fries some kind of taste.
He's already dead!
We tried their fish sandwich during Lent, it was pretty good.
But it is gone now.
I grew up the the thirties and forties.
EVERYTHING was fried in beef fat——and no one was obese.
(Bacon fat was used for eggs.)
.
My mother always fried her skillet fried potatoes in bacon fat. They were the BEST.
I mess her terribly.
Less product going out for the same money, like cereal boxes shrinking.
...
They’ve already been shrinking the Big Mac for the past 50 years.
If I want a Big Mac, I want a Big Mac!
No thanks to downsized fast food.
Tip to McDonalds: When Big Macs are outlawed, only outlaws will enjoy Big Macs.
LARD was the thing my mother used in everything and we eight kids were not fat until we moved out of the house and started to eat like modern folk.
so we’re talking sliders?
Eating McD’s breakfast is a high price to pay for good coffee ;)
Maybe you could just get their coffee at the drive through and stop at a donut shop for a couple of Crewlers.
By the way there is another thing that has suffered for not being fried in Beef Fat.
DONUTS
How about selling the Poutine Mac instead?
My best friend is being recruited to plan and run a coffee house/cafe. I told her I would follow her there (we work at the same restaurant now) on one condition: the fries have to be cooked in tallow. The chef where we work said tallow is cheaper than the fryer/griddle grease (hydrogenated crud) everyone uses now. I suppose that tallow doesn’t keep as long?
I had an ancestor who was a Small Big Mac in New Yor5k...
He owned a tavern right about where Goldman Sachs is today...
1st he was a Small Burger and then a Great Burger...
I think he wanted to go all the way to Official Big Mac but there were no local MCD’s in Manhattan back then ...
Still he was no small fry when he arrived in 1636...
See #55.
Hmmm...I discussed a variation of the Big Mac with a McDonald’s franchisee (largest franchisee on the eastern seaboard) exec four/five years ago. Same as their newly introduced “Little Mac” but I called it the “MiniMac”. I think I’ve been had......
Make my own. Way better than what I can get from any fast food place.
