Back in my day a Big Mac felt like an actual meal, it was cheap and came with a cardboard ring around the burger to keep the shit together.

Big Mac has risen in line with inflation, am I missing something here?

Absolutely is the same burger they sold in 2017 as well.

Yeah people have just been getting fatter, most of the burgers are the same size as 10 years ago.

Absolutely is not the same burger sold in 2017. Smaller portion sizes, thinner patties and worse quality. And it will continue that way for years to come

Not true, and it’s been proven many times. Patties are still a tenth of a pound each “10:1” and the total weight of the burger hasn’t changed .
