McDonald’s to release smaller and bigger Big Macs

Whether you’re just a little hungry or starving, McDonald’s will soon offer a Big Mac to match.

The fast-food chain will release two new versions of the iconic burger Wednesday: the Little Mac and the Double Big Mac.

The Little Mac has just one beef patty, while the Double Big Mac has four. They’ll both still be topped with cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and Special Sauce.

The Double Big Mac comes in at 720 calories; the Little Mac is 320 calories — the same as a medium fry.

Though the burgers’ prices will vary regionally, McDonald’s is recommending a price of $2.29 for the Little Mac and $5.49 for the Double Big Mac, McDonald’s spokeswoman Morgan O’Marra said.

Seems like they already did this, at least at my local McDonalds. Perhaps they were testing the product in a few pilot locations.

This is either good news or bad news, depending on how you look at it. But with all the coronavirus freaking out going on, I think we could use something like this.

Same here. I don’t go there too often, but I thought these were already available.

What are those pictures of?

The Beef Patties on a Big Mac are much smaller than the Bun. Those look like Quarter Pounder Patties.

Truth in advertising, NOT.

Waiting for the Center for Science in the Public Interest to have a cow about the Double Big Mac calorie count.

Was thinking the same. It's a very rare mouth that can open that wide. Granted it's possible to take it apart and then eat it, but then why not just have 2 regular Big Macs?

Isn’t the special sauce ranch dressing and mayo mixed together?

I haven’t seen them but what I have noticed was that they really increased the price of their fries. I told my daughter that by the time you get your burger, fries and soda, you’re paying just as much as you would at a Red Robin or similar restaurant. I told her RR would be my preference over McD’s.
