Incidentally, McDonalds is about to roll out two new sizes of the Big Mac. The kid-sized Mac Jr, and the Grand Mac, which has 1/3 pound beef, as opposed to the 1/5 pound on the regular Big Mac. Already test marketed in Dallas and Columbus, OH. Hope they come to Washington.

Yes it's coming to Washington. I can check when tomorrow.

1/3 pound until they've cook all the fat
out and it's less than 1/4 pound. The
so called quarter pounder is about 3oz
after it's cooked. A burger loses 25%
of it's weight in cooking from water
and fat loss.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It might be the silver bullet MCD is looking for. They keep looking for new items to raise their price points, but MCD is in the end the Big Mac place. So why not just bump the price there?

A quarter pounder weighs 3oz, a 1/3 pounder
weighs 3.96oz cooked. I can't see .96 oz
making any visible difference unless the flatten
the crap out of it to make it look bigger. The
burgers I make at home are 8oz each and they
really aren't all that big after cooking.

1oz can make a huge difference in perceived value. 1/4 is average 1/3 is a nice sized burger. Of course there is a limit. I will probably keep with the classic size because if I want bigger I go to Red Robin for a better burger. However, many people will probably trade up.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Maybe this means they will finally stop airing his annoying tax relief commercials that I always see on TV...
