The Incredible Shrinking Quarter Pounder With Cheese

ModelMom's picture

Okay, so I'm guilty as charged ....I'm pregnant and I know that McDonald's is the worst food you can put in your body, but I was craving it so I had some. A Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal with a caramel sundae. And it was damn good!

But I have to make the following observation: Who on God's green earth is weighing these things back at corporate headquarters? A quarter pound burger? I beg to differ. I swear these things are shrinking with the passing of each year. My burger was the size of a regular cheeseburger. And the next time I break down and order one I won't be surprised if it is the size of a McNugget. Have mercy.

yep, i have had many a McRoyale with cheese when i was living in europe! although if the burgers are suffering the same shrinkage that their US counterparts are then they should be renaming it to the McRoyalCourtJester with cheese!!!! ;-)

Manodogs, Ha! LOVE that movie!

Modelmom, if you look closely enough, you can see that the quarter pound weight refers to the weight before cooking. Now, if you cook hamburger meat at home and you compare the amount of grease from cooking 93% with 85%, you're gonna have a lot more grease with the 85%, because the fat is melting. Now, I'm not gonna come right out and say that McDonald's burgers are shrinking because they have a higher fat content. But draw your own conclusions. Appetizing, no? lol

that is nasty! hadnt thought of it that way! lololol!! the quarter pound burgers at the local brewpub are a lot bigger though.....but maybe that's because they weigh theirs after the cooking process (just guessing). of course they are also a lot pricier and not as convenient.......

Maybe if they are smaller...

We won't gain as much weight?????

I don't know.

This time around McDonald's hasn't appealed to me at all. Thank goodness because I'm gaining enough weight without fast food.

read me!
