McDonald’s has denied shrinking its burgers after one customer’s complaints made their way online.
A debate was started after many loyal McDonald’s customers noticed a change in their regular burgers…
And were left unimpressed at the ordeal.
“Have McDonald Filet-O-Fish always been this small? I don’t remember it being mini, kid-size like this?!” one shopper wrote in a Facebook group.
As people started to notice a significant difference between the Filet-O-Fish, McChicken, and beef burgers.
And that’s not all…
Foodies took to the comment section and agreed as one woman claimed McDonald’s burgers are now “super small.”
“We had Big Macs last week. Not only have the buns shrunk but the meat patties were so thin we could see literally through them. Was as if they had sliced them in half,” one member said.
“Just like the quarter pounder, got its name as it was a quarter pound of beef, it’s barely that now,” added another.
‘Inflated price… deflated goods,’ a third said.
But not everyone was entirely convinced that McDonald’s was making their burgers smaller, as one person even mentioned that the Filet-O-Fish has been that size for as long as they can remember…
“It’s the same size bun as the cheeseburger, it’s always been small,” they said.
So when the news of their burgers shrinking spread like wildfire, it was McDonald’s responsibility to put the rumors to bed.
It’s not the first time rumors have been doing the rounds on social media, as back in 2020 an unhappy customer photographed a cheeseburger that he said was barely bigger than his thumb and likened its size to that of a cookie, as per reports.
However, McDonald’s had to admit they had indeed changed the cheeseburger as part of their innovation and investment process.
“The overall weight of our burgers remains unchanged… The new bun is the same weight, with slightly different proportions.
“We haven’t changed the size of our beef patty since the first McDonald’s restaurant opened in Australia in 1971. We still use 100 percent Aussie beef patties that our customers know and love,” the statement read.
And now, the fast food company has yet again responded to the rumors.
A spokesperson from McDonald’s revealed that they were committed to offering their customers great quality and great value burgers, which subsequently feature RSPCA approved chicken and 100 percent Aussie beef…
But the popular food chain also defended the claims the size of its burgers has been decreasing over the years.
And said: “There have been no changes to the size of the burgers.”
