Dear McDonald's,

A big mac is not a $7 burger. It's not even a $4 burger.

That's all

I doubt it's even a real Big Mac (as in using the original, unaltered recipe)

If anyone wants the recipe, all of the old school McDonald's recipies are here: https://archive.org/details/mcmenu

U don't like bread sandwiches?

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

As a centrist dem I have to point out that a bread sandwhich (even if it has a little spit inside) is a lot better than a no-bread sandwhich, and if you dont support bread sandwiches then you automatically are to blame for whatever comes after this-- mcdonalds is blameless. Dont let perfect be the enemy of the good.

Such a stupid take. It’s fine if you don’t like it but it’s obviously a burger.

I'll invite you over and make you a burger, then I'll put a big mac next to it and you can be the judge haha.

If dried road kill for burger meat between two barely reheated frozen buns is a burger then you're right.

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People like you are exhausting.

A roadkill burger is still a burger

[–] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People that are technically correct? The best kind?

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

I’d absolutely love to hear you explain how a Big Mac isn’t technically a burger.

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

big mac is a sandwhich at best. you can't call that shit between it a patty

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is really how you want to spend your time? Arguing that a 1/6 pound hamburger patty is not a hamburger patty? Come on dude, give it up.

You were wrong, just move on.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -2 points 21 hours ago

Why insist on being right tho? You wasted so much time arguing yourself just so you can point your finger and claim yourself as victorious in your amazing internet battle.

This is why the internet sucks.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

You'll invite him over for a better burger, no doubt. Because yeah, Big Macs suck.

But by the very definition of the word, a Big Mac IS a burger whether you want it to be or not. Actual facts don't generally give a shit about your opinion on the matter. A burger patty between two sides of a bun is a burger. Doesn't matter if the meat is half cardboard and the buns are reheated frozen pieces of shit, it's still very much the technical definition of a burger.

So please give the pretentious twat persona a rest, thanks.
