McDonald's "secret" menu items.

Like the The Land, Sea, and Air Burger - Cost: $8.49 (using a Big Mac) $5.49 (using a McDouble)

Had a Mac Jr today, way better than a Big Mac. Would get again.

Prefer it over the McDouble and quarter pounder as well.

Damnit guys - this thread got me starving again and made me go out for some Big Macs at 1130 at night after I'd already brushed and readied for bed. It also came with 2 McDoubles and 2 McChicken and a grilled chicken and small fries. Hey, we're snowed in tomorrow...

2 Big Macs instead of the Jr.s because I had a buy one-get one coupon I didn't want to waste. BTW, extra Big Mac sauce on the side is 35 cents. $14 for 8 items. 'Murica!

It's very messy. With all of that shredded lettuce and sauce on there, the damn thing starts sliding apart when you eat it.

It's not bad, though. It's basically just a double sized Big Mac. Same taste, just more expensive and harder to eat. If I got one again, I'd ask for less sauce.
how much?
regular big macs here are 2 for $5.

Grand Mac better bang for the buck?

also, poor man's big mac:
McDouble (2 for $2.50) + big mac sauce ($0.30 upcharge) = $3.10

Might as well add a filet of fish too
fillet o fish is now on their 2 for $2.50 menu.

so 1 fillet, 1 McChicken and combine the 2 into 1 samwich.

or stick with the standard 1 mcdouble, 1 mcChicken to combine into 1 samwich?

I thought all the big mac was was more carbs + thousand island dressing. Grand mac is that but like 15% bigger.
thought they used quarter pounder patties instead of the regular hamburger patties in the Grand Mac and Mac Jr?

2 quarter pounder patties = 1/3 lb beef total
(they make 7 quarter pounder patties from 1 lb of beef)

ripoff!

mcdouble, mcchicken, and fillet fish are on the 2 for $2.50 menu.
so $3.75 + 1 more sandwich of your choice.

I see some of you saying the Big Mac Jr. is the bomb, not the Grand Mac. But what is different about the Jr. that makes it better? If the Grand Mac is just a bigger version of a Big Mac, isn't the Jr. one just a smaller version? My head hurts.

that's what makes it better - you're eating a small amount of a shitty product, so you can finish eating it before your taste buds realize what the fuck you're doing to them.

tempting but I decided on the standard ghetto Big Mac tonite:



$2.50
cheaper than a regular big mac and double the meat

2 quarter pounder patties = 1/3 lb beef total
(they make 7 quarter pounder patties from 1 lb of beef)
big mac = two 1.6 oz (45.4 g each) beef patties
grand mac = 1⁄3 pound (150 g) combined
grand mac = $3 with app

mcdouble = $1.50 (also two 1.6oz patties = 91g total)
2 mcdoubles ($3 total) = 182g beef = better value

so I finally bought a Grand Mac because I had a coupon for $1 any sandwich.



the patty is supposedly bigger than a regular hamburger and smaller than the quarter pounder patty.
so McD now stocks 3 patty sizes? (hamburger 45g, Grand Mac/Mac Jr 75g, quarter pounder 120.5 g)

didn't taste any different than a big mac but much more sloppy.
sandwich fell apart after eating 2/3 of it.

Regular price is $5.19
yeah, better bang for buck is 2 McDoubles at $1.50 each. (see above post)
