​​@@robertcuratolo5339 yo, but you still like a burger. Horror. Tell ya a cheeky secret. Horseradish sauce (teaspoon) and mustard/sauce (2teaspoon) you can add a little tomato sauce to carm it down. But trust me.

[@KevinDarty]

I kind of feel that the "Double Big Mac" is attempting to fix a problem they deny exists. For anyone that was around when the Big Mac first came out, it was much bigger than the standard Big Mac we have today. So the "Double Big Mac" gives you back what you had years ago but charges more for it. Personally I'd just get a Quarter Pounder or Double Quarter Pounder and have them add Mac Sauce to it. You'll get a better tasting burger (as it is the only fresh made patties they make) than the Big Mac and it will be more worth your money.

[@paulkelley3901]

you are so right about the size of the patties. wafer-thin shavings of "beef" with a ton of salt and pepper to mask the blandness does not a Big Mac make.

It's good that you addressed the logistical problems involved in taking a bite of a Double Big Mac without creating some messy "collateral damage" in the process, meaning squeezing the Secret Sauce and various other stuff out the sides and creating spillage! This can indeed be a challenge for most of us. Mick Jagger, who has an astonishing ability to open his mouth very wide, can probably get the entire sandwich in his jaws without spilling a drop of it. But most of us don't have that ability. Therefore, caution is advised! Thank you for another excellent review, done in a tasteful and dignified manner, as always.

Fun fact: a Big Mac has less meat than a Quarter Pounder despite having double the number of patties. The patties are only 1/10th of a pound.

[@APL314159265]

Small point 4 x .10 = .4, which is actually larger than .25. On the other hand McDonalds "meat" is probably left on the dog.

[@equallywrong]

True fact: Ever since COVID began, patty size has been get smaller coupled with the price for the sandwich going up. McDonald could have gone a number of different ways to market the sandwich with more meat. They could have brought back the original patty size and called the sandwich Retro Mac, but they choose to double the current patty portion and call it appropriately Double Big Mac and raise the price again. Three companies in the US are masters at marketing and making people pay more for less (or the same features): Intel, McDonald's, and Microsoft.

I like extra pickles on the Big Mac. For those commenting that the patties have shrunk over time, I don't think so. When I made them in the early 1980s each patty was 1/10 pound, same as the patties used on the Double Cheeseburger. I'm pretty sure the patties are still 1/10 pound. People may think the patties have shrunk because other burgers have gotten bigger over the decades, just like the size of fries and drinks have gotten bigger, to satisfy the more gluttonous Americans of today. (We used to toast the buns--they don't do that anymore.)

You can actually get this in Japan for years.

The Double Big Mac has been a staple in Ontario Canada locations for some time now. They also sell the Double Quarter Pounder. As a promotion about a year ago they had Quarter Pounder patties and called it the Grand Big Mac.

[@robblaettler4589]

They ought to just use 2 quarter pound patties, instead of 4 small patties.

Given 42% of the US is obese thats a mercy.

[@anitablades6033]

Ck to see if they are using the Slurry that is in the news. Ck. Meat Slurry, it should come up. And the idea of 4 burgers is just for looks.

It would be the same amount of meat and would be fresh.

Wrong. The quarter pound patties are 100% pure beef. The regular patties are mystery meat

I was waiting to see if you commented on the saltiness of the patties. If I were to get it again I would ask for no salt shaken on the patties.

[@NerdLifts]

They've had these in Canada for years. If you're feeling spicy you can add on extra patties to that, giving you 6 total patties.

yep, but buy the reg big mac and add the 2 extra patties via their app and voila you have that Big Mac, and it's cheaper, at least according to some people who have done that

@@michaelmardling3152 the real hack is mcdouble or daily double + mac sauce. Under half big Mac price at most locations, at the terrible sacrifice of a bun heel.

McDonalds should bring back the mini mac. Sometimes you want the flavor of a big mac without all the regular big mac calories. I suggested to McDonalds a quarter pounder Big Mac version idea, they weren't interested. Imagine a quarter pounder with big mac ingredients and no middle bun. I'd love that!

[@twistedwhiskeymaker]

Just get mac sauce on a mcdouble or something

Why can't McDonald's just put it on the menu as quarter pounder with cheese traditional or big mac dressed?

[@michaelnance8319]

Back in the early 2000’s at certain locations some McDonald’s allowed Customers to customize certain hamburgers, and the big Mac was one of them. My little brother used to order two extra patties every time he got a big Mac. But some time after 2013 most McDonald’s won’t allow you to add two extra patties, but only one extra. Burger King back in the early 2000s also used to have a four patty hamburger which they discontinued after three years. I used to order that back in my early 20s. I miss the days of the Wednesday $.39 cheeseburgers. I missed the $.99 menu.

[@myworms]

These are about 8 bucks, right? For 9 bucks, I’ve got a local place that makes a big, juicy double cheese burger that beats the heck out of anything at McDonalds.

[@Andrew-Richardson]

Funny thing is a single patty from McDonalds was that big back in the day during the 90’s so it’s just a throw back to when things were filled with the same amount of meat it used to have and they’re charging you for it

[@Marcus-hb9ll]

Weve had the double big mac here in Canada for well over a decade. Its weird that the US is only getting this now?

Believe it or not the "double big mac" is a standard menu item in Canada and has been for as long as I can remember.

[@bltvd]

Liar

[@hollandaise84]

Yeah, it’s been around for years. It also has more cheese, and so much lettuce in falls everywhere as you eat it. Also that amount of sauce is criminal. Edit: the Grand Mac was around for a while too.

[@timwhitehouse7570]

You know what was a game changer for me is ordering a double quarter pounder, plain, with cheese and “Mac sauce” the Big Mac here in Cali is still cooked with some kind of flash steamer but the Quarter Pounder is being cooked differently to give it the grilled experience. Much, much better!

[@aj383]

They're cooked the same. They hold the same... The only differences are the precooked weight of the patties and they started using not-frozen patties for the QPC.

[@ernietetrault3403]

Long, long ago (1970s) when I worked the nightshift at McDs, I made myself a Big Mac with quarter pounder patties. It was great! I also did a Big Filet-o-Fish Mac using tartar sauce instead of Mac sauce. That was good too

[@AMPProf]

yah but the idea that mc d did tacos..

[@egotist8162]

Here in Japan, you can get double patties on almost all sandwiches during dinner hours.

[@Fischbroetchen2k]

It´s hilarious how they introduce that as a special. Here where I live in Germany, McDonalds started modernizing their restaurants a few years back so they introduced new "order stations" where you can order stuff on a big touch screen instead of ordering at the cash register thingy. Which is great for introverts like me. Anyways, they also added the option to "customize" your burger. Like ordering it without onions or with extra bacon. So I realized there was a mistake in the system, when ordering an extra patty on a Big Mac you wouldn´t get a single extra patty for 50 Cents like on a regular burger, they would give you 2 extra patties for 50 cents. So naturally I ordered my big mac with the max amount of 3 extra patties and extra cheese. So overall it was 8 Patties and 4 slices of cheese for around 5 Euros. Needless to say we feasted on that bad boy every other day until they fixed the issue. We dubbed the creation "the Heartstopper"

When you order a double cheeseburger at my local mcdonalds, they cook it as if it's a single patty. Like they stick the two patties together into one, and then cook it. Makes it about the same as a quarter pounder patty, i think all mcdonalds should do that

[@bjorkish6928]

This was done before in the 90s. I was working for them at the time. They doubled the meat and called it the Monster Mac. They also had the double fish filet too.
