      I can tell that’s an old photo based upon how thick those beef patties are. Recently had a Big Mac and it was paper thin. Easily half that.

            You can see it in their pricing, if the big Mac contained more than 1/5lb of meat it would throw off the value of the other menu items.

              I totally follow you there. I don’t disagree with you.

              All I am relying on is my personal experience with Big Macs, which used to be a lot.

              These new ones are not as thick as they used to be. Different beef cooks differently, different fat percentages for example.

              Also, I guarantee all those frozen patties do not weigh the same. Even if they can convince regulators that they average out to the advertised weight.
