Mac jr is not new - I remember getting it back in the day on the dollar menu

 

[TheGreyHulk]

big macs use 1/10 lb patties..... i knew they were small ass patties BUT COME ON MAN..

i was hoping the grand mac was going to be a double quarter pounder in big mac form.


so disappointed.

 

[Vyer]

what is the special sauce exactly

 

[Fatalah]

Mac Jr. is brilliant!

 

[mf.luder]

This could go very well if they price it cheap enough, Mac JR I mean.

 

[Brianimaniac]

what is the special sauce exactly

Thousand island dressing.

 

[commedieu]

Thousand island dressing.

Plus corn syrup.

McDonald's needs to make a better quality burger, not bigger versions of their existing burgers.

That Grand Mac looks like its patties are just as thin as the old Big Mac patties. Which means it'll still taste like a thin piece of dry rubber. Work on your meat to bread ratio you idiots.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I had the grand mac in brussels once. Not bad.

Ive also ordered mcdoubles with lettuce and mac sauce without ketchup, so the mac jr makes sense.

 

[MC_Hify]

I kinda want a Big Mac now.

 

[Chris R]

This could go very well if they price it cheap enough, Mac JR I mean.

They won't. It's going to be at least the price of the McDouble, but probably at least 50 cents more.

 

[ColdPizza]

They finally listened to me. Been clamoring for a mac jr for years.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

What I got from this is that the standard big mac isnt even a quarter pound of meat. That's not big.

 

[Freyjadour]

McDouble with Mac Sauce probably still gonna be a better deal

 

[FTF]

I'm down for trying that Mac Jr.

 

[depths20XX]

For something called a "Big" Mac those things sure aren't very filling. The bigger one should just replace the standard one.

 

[andrerobot]

I first glanced at the pic and though they might be using the 1/4 pound patties on the grand mac but no, they are using 1/6 pound patties. I didn't realize they even had those, I thought they just had the regular small patties and then the quarter pound patties.

It surprises me that the two Big Mac patties are 1/10lb each, instead of just half of 1/4 (1/8).

 

[janoDX]

Chile has the Great Mac since April. And let me tell you... it's awesome!.

 

[diablos991]

Gross. Too much bread and not enough meat.
The ratio is terrible!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Put a second patty on the first one and you have a winner.

 

[slabrock]

 

[mf.luder]

They won't. It's going to be at least the price of the McDouble, but probably at least 50 cents more.

Those bullshit mctasters or whatever were 2.99 up in canada. I want my shitty fast food cheap dammit!

 

[M-PG71C]

I know its shameful but i fucking LOVE Big Macs

No shame in it, the Big Mac is fucking awesome. I love it with extra sauce. A messy Big Mac = The best Big Mac.

 

[eggandI]

McDonalds is only good for their cheap items. Big Macs are fucking gross

 

[Brianimaniac]

McDonalds is only good for their cheap items. Big Macs are fucking gross

I would rather get a Filet-O-Fish, but I can get two McDoubles and a large drink for the price of just that sandwich.

 

[uncredited male]

I was going to drop a Coming to America joke but the magic isn't happening.

 

[Phu]

McD's finally coming out with their own Super Big Boy.

 

[DopeyFish]

finally i can go into a mcdonalds and not get complete confusion from a new cashier when i ask for a mini mac

 

[painey]

mega mac FTW

 

[DrEvil]

We've had the "Double Big Mac" in Canada for years. The Mac Mini is a nice addition tho.

 

[Cookie18]

American McDonalds needs to step it up. It's easily the worst compared to in other countries. It makes zero sense.

They should just release the Mega Mac in America. It's here in Korea and it's freaking awesome.

 

[Pachinko]

Oh my god , they've finally heard me ! I've been saying for at least a decade that they're leaving money on the table by NOT making this. Even resorted to the poor mans mini-mac which is to ask for a mcdouble "mac style".

Here's hoping that I can try this stuff out in Canada too.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I'm willing to go to McDonald's a second time this year for the Grand Mac.

 

[ToLateToLove]

We've already had this a couple of times in Sweden. I fucking hate it because it's a pain in the ass to "cook" whilst working in the kitchen..

 

[messiaen]

I've seen signs for this around LA since the spring. Thought it was already launched?

 

[valkillmore]

Quarter Pounder > Big Mac

Shout it from the rooftop

 

[WaffleTaco]

Whatever happened to focus and paring down their menu. This was like the number one reason cited for orders taking forever

They already did that. They honestly have a lot less to offer than most burger places. This is the first new thing they have had since Mozzerlla Sticks in January. They have mostly been focusing on their Pick 2 promotion.

 

[brandonh83]

Big Mac Pro
Big Mac slim

 

[FatalT]

Is the Grand Dragon Mac a Trump promotion?

 

[FStop7]

How do you not call the big one the Mac Daddy?

 

[Fried Food]

Egg white delight is the only sandwich. Bring it to all day menu fool

 

[Auctopus]

How is the Grand Mac not being called the Mac Daddy?

edit: seems like I'm not the first to think it. GAF should be doing McDonalds marketing.

 

[Drazgul]

Yep, I knew it looked familiar.

Who the hell calculates their daily calories with kilojoules?

 

[Ray Wonder]

1/3 lb vs 1/5 lb is more than 1.2 or can I not do math?

It's like 1.67x

 

[krae_man]

Who the hell calculates their daily calories with kilojoules?

Everyone not in America?

 

[Kurdel]

This is basically their nuclear option to get sales up, bastardizing the Big Mac.

 

[Drazgul]

Everyone not in America?

That's news to me, then. Everyone I've talked to here in Finland does it with kcals.

 

[Apollo]

always thought the Big Mac was a rip off with it's tiny little meat. Got it once as an adult and was not worth it. Had as a kid plenty of times but never realized how small it was.

 

[Nova Prime]

Dammit I'm a sucker for these promos

 

[C.Mongler]

Oh boy! My issue with McDonalds was that there was only the Big Mac; not a smaller Mac for when I had a larger previous meal or a BIGGER Mac for when I was suuuuuper hungry. Perfect! I'm surely going to eat at McDonalds for all of my meals now!
