Downsizing
If there is one cause I will fight for in life, it is the right to have a proper sized burger.
Its no secret the size of fast food burgers have been decreasing over the years. I can remember when a Big Mac, was actually .... big.
Gradually over time, along with every other burger, they have become smaller and smaller. You go through the drive thru, get a bag so small, nothing can possibly be inside it. Inside there is a cardboard box(leaking grease because it should be a styrofoam container) with a patty half the size of a cd and about that thick. A whole head of lettuce stuffed in between the buns to make it appear big. There is more special sauce then meat. You can only assume all that dripping grease is from a spill they had inside, because your patties are dryer then the cardboard box it came in.
These days the only burgers I bother to order are the double quarter pounder at Mcdonalds and the Triple at Wendy's, which is really the only real burger on the market out of the big fast food chains in Canada --- and I have no problem travelling 80km's to Bathurst to get it.
They even give the option of the "not on the menu item" a 4 patty grand slam. More burger then most people know what to do with. It's sad when going to get a burger you have to ask for the "not advertised item" like your a shady character at the local taxi stand looking for the "not advertised liquor and smokes"
Fast Forward: Thankfully burger enthusiasts worldwide have been making their own giant burger creations, such as this, this, and those found here. BK has come out with the stacker series, 2, 3, or 4 patties, lots of cheese, a layer of bacon. No veggies. The Quad Stacker is now the only fast food burger I will eat.
