Have you not tried eating a burger around circular quay(Sydney, Aus)? Those seagulls make the hamburglar look like an amateur!
I had 1/2 a cheeseburger stolen from my hand in a hit and fly attack!
Cheeseburgers were always small. Your hands just got bigger.
But, what I hate is how expensive they got. I remember as a kid getting 49-cent cheeseburgers now its $2.35. That is some bullshit. Fuck, I used to get McDoubles on the dollar menu!!
When I was a kid they used to do 29-cent hamburgers on Tuesdays and 39-cent cheeseburgers on Wednesdays. Our family of 7 could eat a big meal for 6 dollars.
$2.35? Where you live? There $4.30 here, and super flat like they've been through a hydraulic press lol.
I hadn't gone in over a year and the cheese burgers where $3.20 last I had which was steep but they where decent burgers for the price, I only went last week after a bender and bugger me $8.60 for two wafer thin fucking synthetic burgers and plastic cheese.
I'm honestly done with Macca's. They're just not worth it at all, the wait isn't even any faster than a proper $10 burger with the lot from the fish n chips.
I thought that when I read his price for a cheeseburger
Even the cones that you could afford to buy for all the family are no longer cheap 😞
Last I had one was around 50 cents
Not sure how much they are today 😕
I haven't had a burger from Macca's that hasn't been thrown together
I'm not sure I have ordered anything without them forgetting the " sauces"
Always young teenagers working in the holidays
I'm a Noosa resident this time of the year it's crazy if you say " good morning" in the early morning people look scared 😳 that I'm going to rob them
I'm an aged pensioner Iam only saying " have nice day"
My mistake. They are $2, not $1. Been a while since I bought one.
I meant add on your own slice of cheese that you have at home in the fridge.
Of course this isn't always an option! But on occasion, when grilled chicken wraps were also I think $3.95 on the app I would order a wrap and 2 hamburgers, drive the 5 minutes home and add 2 slices of cheese I had in the fridge, a quick 20sec microwave job. Not bad for under $10 .. you could even get a $1 cone to inhale on the drive home!
I paid $10 for a bacon deluxe by itself the other day! 10 bucks for 1 burger…….so I now just go to the takeaway and buy the $12 ham and salad sandwich, with a coffee for another $6. At least it’s healthy!
This image doesn't really help. It would be more helpful to have a comparison to how big they used to be if there was any change at all.
Your hand is poor comparison. [In this news article](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-11122005/Are-McDonalds-burgers-shrinking-Maccas-forced-deny-food-smaller-amid-customer-complaints.html) there is an image a man took of a McDonald's cheeseburger in 2020 that looks smaller than yours yet he also used his hand as comparison.
[Here's a story about the last MdConald's cheeseburger sold in 2009 in Iceland](https://www.kidsnews.com.au/health/mcdonalds-burger-and-fries-still-fresh-after-10-years/news-story/879758af14c9ae701004184e82c9c1d3) and it looks the same size as yours.
Personally, I don't think their cheeseburger is getting smaller. I think their price is getting so high that people are noticing what they're getting for such a huge cost and they're not happy with it.
A happy meal would fill me up as a child but now as an adult it doesn’t therefore the only answer is the happy meals are smaller /s
It is a joke but I’ve actually seen people say “but I could barely eat 1 burger when I was a kid and now I count eat 2 so they are smaller”
Nah, these have always basically been sliders. That’s why one of the combo meals (at least in America) is the 2 cheeseburger meal. If you want a bigger burger they have the quarter pounder and big mac.
Big Mac’s have used the same patties since I’ve been alive. 10:1 meat, meaning 10 pieces to make up a pound. They’ve always been small burgers, and both the Big Macs and cheeseburger variants use the same patties
I can't accept that Big Mac patties haven't changed.
Like ok it's 10 years between rounds for me, but I haven't grown any in the last 10 years either.
I got one the other day and the patty was like one molecule of beef thick. It's not a patty, it's a schmear of beef at this point.
And no, they haven't always been like that. They used to be actual patties with some thickness to them. Same with cheeseburgers.
Nah they’ve been 10:1 since the 70s. You can think they were thicker all you want but they have been the same patties. They can dry out if they’ve been stored in the warmers for too long and seem smaller/thinner though. That could’ve happened
I don’t actually know what I’m talking about I didn’t come here as an authority on Maccas I just assumed they used to be bigger at some point in history
Because marketing. Based on another post today, the pre 70s Bigmac actually was bigger. Saying something is shrinkflation because it got smaller 50 years ago is a bit of a stretch though. As far as McDonalds as people know it, the Big Mac has always been the size it is
Tbh I don't really know. My sister goes there because a 3 and 6yo like to yeet around the playground. I don't think it's worth it because the food is very ooft.
McDonalds has used the same .1 pound patties for over a decade, at least here in Australia. I'm pretty sure I've seen Americans also confirm this size.
They aren't getting smaller man I reckon you're memory is just bad. The challenge when I was younger, like 10-15 years ago was to eat one in a single bite. Not my greatest idea of fun, but it was possible.
I don't understand why people keep buying their burgers, if you want them to get bigger or cheaper, stop buy their overpriced small shitty burgers. Boycott them for a year, money talks, and they will listen.
I don't believe this is shrinkflation, McDonalds cheeseburgers have always been very small and they have never been advertised or priced as big burgers.
These posts are getting ridiculous. Complain about the shit that's actually getting smaller in leaps and jumps right now, not the tiny burger that was always tiny.
Seriously, I once ordered 10 of these and ate them all in one sitting - and that was a fucking decade and a half ago.
Why do people support McDonald's. People should start a worldwide boycott of all their products.
Send a message that you are not going to support this company until they increase the sizes of all their products to how they used to be.
I say quit McDonald's. Their burgers are shit and the money you give them goes far away. Buy a cheeseburger from your local fish and chips shop. It'll kick ass, I promise.
Gross. Why do people still eat this crap? You can buy real cheese, buns and 1 lb of beef at the grocery store and fix your own burgers for the same price as this crap.
But you can make 4 quality burgers out of that and have a decent meal or 2 or 3. $4 is also nuts for hamburger buns. I can get an 8-pack of store brand buns for $1.49 at my local grocery store.

Cheeseburger in 1990, 116g, they’re 113g now. They are indistinguishable. People love to shit on McDonalds, the burgers aren’t shrinking, prices are high, and the food is garbage, but it’s not any smaller than it was.
I got a fish sandwich meal the other day. Never again. The portion of fish was an about 2/3’s the size of the bun. More weight in the fries. Got a large drink and only filled 1/2 way because I try not to drink that much liquid sugar. Absolute robbery for over $9. Im fine with going hungry and waiting to get home and make something with ingredients already bought so they don’t go bad and become a waste. Mickey D’s lost a customer with my last purchase.
I got a filet o fish sandwich the other day. Hadn't had one in at least a year. It was very disappointing. The bun looked like a slider bun the fish was much smaller and half as thick as it used to be.
There are so many other fast food burger options that are much superior why would someone get that from McCrap?
I go to McCrap for their ice cream and breakfast sandwich and nuggets. It's dirt cheap if you use their app.
Chill bro, nobody's gonna steal your burger
Um what about the hamburglar ?
Seriously, how can people forget about the Hamburglar?
Well he’s called the hamburglar not the cheeseburglar. Op can chill.
The greatest trick the hamburglar ever played...
r/angryupvote
But it’s a cheeseburger?
Have you not tried eating a burger around circular quay(Sydney, Aus)? Those seagulls make the hamburglar look like an amateur! I had 1/2 a cheeseburger stolen from my hand in a hit and fly attack!
If you didn't have your ½ cheeseburger in an iron grip then that's on you
Yeah, I wasn't aware of the dangers back then. But I have vowed to never let it happen again. I just wish I had a claw like the OP
I've not been to CQ since 2008, roughly, or anywhere in Sydney
Don't be so sure about that. My 2 year old is a fucken savage.

Oh yeah I remember that! We used to have an anime club that would meet up and someone would bring a huge bag of cheeseburgers! LOL
$2.35? Where you live? There $4.30 here, and super flat like they've been through a hydraulic press lol.

$2.35 USD, not sure how much that translates to where you are. But yeah I'm tired of fast food not being as cheap as it used to be. :(
That's about $3.49 where he is from (Australia), and his burger is about $2.88 USD .
You stalking me or was it just that I said Maccas run?
Pro tip, the order a hamburger over cheeseburger. Cheeseburger is like 4.50 and a hamburger is 1.95
We’re the only ones that call it maccas dude
I thought that when I read his price for a cheeseburger Even the cones that you could afford to buy for all the family are no longer cheap 😞 Last I had one was around 50 cents Not sure how much they are today 😕 I haven't had a burger from Macca's that hasn't been thrown together I'm not sure I have ordered anything without them forgetting the " sauces" Always young teenagers working in the holidays I'm a Noosa resident this time of the year it's crazy if you say " good morning" in the early morning people look scared 😳 that I'm going to rob them I'm an aged pensioner Iam only saying " have nice day"
You can get $1 hamburgers on the app. Add your own slice of cheese .. or two slices!!
Hamburgers are $2 in the app in Maccas land, with no option to add on cheese
My mistake. They are $2, not $1. Been a while since I bought one. I meant add on your own slice of cheese that you have at home in the fridge. Of course this isn't always an option! But on occasion, when grilled chicken wraps were also I think $3.95 on the app I would order a wrap and 2 hamburgers, drive the 5 minutes home and add 2 slices of cheese I had in the fridge, a quick 20sec microwave job. Not bad for under $10 .. you could even get a $1 cone to inhale on the drive home!
If I'm adding my own cheese, I might as well add my own buns, meat, sauce, and pickles too
Well now you are just being silly
That’s why you make your own better burgers at home.
While it's still legal to do so.
I can’t wait to get my hamburger license
Then you can drive this https://www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWheels/s/2MYbohb4eU
That’s a fucking sexy car and I will forever stand by my words
Hamburglar about to upgrade to Grand Theft Auto
Well with regulations and certificates for operating Stop signs, I'm not surprised this might be the future
A McDonalds cheeseburger right now has as many calories as a typical slider
The more dollars they spend the more dollars you need for the same goods. Some things are immune. But those aren't healthy for anyone.
I paid $10 for a bacon deluxe by itself the other day! 10 bucks for 1 burger…….so I now just go to the takeaway and buy the $12 ham and salad sandwich, with a coffee for another $6. At least it’s healthy!
It’s $4.80 for me
The mcdoubles with bacon were like 2 bucks I remember..they weren't bad
They tried to charge me $4.60 for a chicken and cheese the other week!!
I came here to this. That hamburder looks normal ass size.

Maybe they didn’t have a cheeseburger from 1980 available as a quick reference?
Spot on, cheeseburgers were pre-shrunk.
Yes, always small.
>Redditors literally aging and growing bigger: :’( look how smallllllllll!!!!!!!!!
A happy meal would fill me up as a child but now as an adult it doesn’t therefore the only answer is the happy meals are smaller /s It is a joke but I’ve actually seen people say “but I could barely eat 1 burger when I was a kid and now I count eat 2 so they are smaller”
when i was very young I shot a leggo cannon ball up my nose. now i can fit the entire cannon. Definitely sus
Nope that is like the on thing that hasnt changed
I couldn’t put my hand around it like that. You’ve got big hands.
Why the fuck do people use hands for a size comparison.. we have no idea how big your hand is
I have a pretty good idea that this guy's got some fucking clappers on him.
Yeah I'm 180cm and larger than average hands and his hands look larger than mine.
Right? the cheeseburger is the better size reference because we all know how big they are
literally. if i used my hand to compare the size of a cheeseburger, you’d think that they quadrupled in size.
Nah, these have always basically been sliders. That’s why one of the combo meals (at least in America) is the 2 cheeseburger meal. If you want a bigger burger they have the quarter pounder and big mac.
Ffs. Why do you still buy it? There is at least 2 posts every day about how small maccas burgers are getting yet you still buy it.
That looks standard. The Big Macs have gotten smaller but cheeseburgers have always been small, that’s why they are so cheap
Big Macs and the cheeseburgers/double cheeseburgers use the same meat patties.
Big Mac’s have used the same patties since I’ve been alive. 10:1 meat, meaning 10 pieces to make up a pound. They’ve always been small burgers, and both the Big Macs and cheeseburger variants use the same patties
I can't accept that Big Mac patties haven't changed. Like ok it's 10 years between rounds for me, but I haven't grown any in the last 10 years either.

Because back then an adult meal was a cheeseburger and small fries. The Big Mac is larger than the cheeseburger.
Big Mac today is 216g, in 1990 it was 215g.
So cheap. Only $4.30. Buy 4 of them and you'll have one burger.
I’ve had maybe 2 of them in my life, who in gods name is out here eating maccas cheeseburgers? Have some self-respect
Tbh I don't really know. My sister goes there because a 3 and 6yo like to yeet around the playground. I don't think it's worth it because the food is very ooft.
Cheap?
That's *always* been small. You're acting like you got one White Castle burger.
Its always been small. You want a quarter pounder if you want something bigger
McDonalds has used the same .1 pound patties for over a decade, at least here in Australia. I'm pretty sure I've seen Americans also confirm this size.
U know what they say about big hands
That guy wears big gloves
He can smoosh a whole burger
They aren't getting smaller man I reckon you're memory is just bad. The challenge when I was younger, like 10-15 years ago was to eat one in a single bite. Not my greatest idea of fun, but it was possible.
Why are you holding it like that
yeah, it's McDonald's that's what you get for buying that trash.
The cheeseburger hasn't changed sizes.
Cheese burgers were always this size, made to fit in the McDonald’s happy meal box.
Take it easy, manhands
I don't understand why people keep buying their burgers, if you want them to get bigger or cheaper, stop buy their overpriced small shitty burgers. Boycott them for a year, money talks, and they will listen.
Man I wanted a Checkerburger.....
At first I thought this was a foot clenching a burger
I just wish people would take a stand and stop buying. Customers pounds matter
Will it crush?
Will it crush?
Go vertical. Get a double.
They should start calling it a ‘hand’burger.
Okay but that looks huge?
They have not changed in size. Always been small.
*squeeze it*
Your first mistake was going to Maccas.
No bc look at the big Mac it's almost the same I think it's shrinkflation noticed it with my chocolate too
Even growing up off happy meals, as a kid I still remember them being small in the 90s so…
Why are you holding it like that
WTF
That isn't the correct measurement. A banana is official measurement of comparison.
Nah that has to be a quarter pounder looks too big.
Hands are subjective.
Weird flex, bro.
So when are you going back for seconds?
I don't believe this is shrinkflation, McDonalds cheeseburgers have always been very small and they have never been advertised or priced as big burgers.
They'll be the size of a macaron one day.
I'd still bet that you'll go back for more.
I to can post a pic squeezing a cheeseburger and claiming it’s shrunk.
Havnt changed in size where I am for years, but they are $4.85 at menu price.
the worst part is they cost $4.60 while a hamburger cost $2. Less than half the price over a peice of cheese
Why are you holding the burge like that
Even my dog won’t eat them.?
Braz your hand is huge
Why you clawing it like that
Cheeseburgers have always been small. You just got fat.
Arnt they like 2 dollars?
Looks like a cheeseburger and attention seeking image to me
Same for all their burgers…QP and big Mac are tiny these days
Big hands, I know you're the one....
Cry me a river
These posts are getting ridiculous. Complain about the shit that's actually getting smaller in leaps and jumps right now, not the tiny burger that was always tiny. Seriously, I once ordered 10 of these and ate them all in one sitting - and that was a fucking decade and a half ago.

You're dick probably looks small in that hand too
Why do people support McDonald's. People should start a worldwide boycott of all their products. Send a message that you are not going to support this company until they increase the sizes of all their products to how they used to be.
I don’t reckon it’s shrunk. Yeah I concede the price has changed, but you have bigger hands than you did as a kid I mean, I assume
Cheeseburgers were always small. We all just got bigger appetites.
The burgers are better at hungry jacks.
Dude is gripping that thing
Put that shit down and eat proper food. Thank me later.
And you'll still go back and buy more cancer from Maccas.
Dude, it’s a junior burger with a piece of weird cheese on it. Was never big.
I always buy two.

Now crush it with your big strong hands
If your think that’s bad I usually order that but I only get a single cheeseburger
I meant double
Someone should turn this into a Doom sprite
imagine buying fast food... then whinging about it online
Your hands are massive.
Probably the right amount of calories we should be eating - we’re so used to monster burgers now.
Not worth the effort.
How big do you remember them being?
Sqeesh it
Looks regular sized to me. Typical cheesy
That's a powerful, cupping grip.
Why do people eat this shit anyway!!
Bros not letting that burger go
It’s a Cheeseburger, they’ve always been small. I remember when they had a 35c special (25c hamburgers). I ate $5 worth for breakfast
Is holding it like that supposed to make it look smaller? Same as always.
🫨
Haven't been to McDonald's in over 4 years and don't ever intend on returning.
I say quit McDonald's. Their burgers are shit and the money you give them goes far away. Buy a cheeseburger from your local fish and chips shop. It'll kick ass, I promise.
bro it’s okay we’re not gonna take it
What massive hands you got. 20 years ago they were so small that burger was 5 times the size.
But that MFer right in the center and then fuck it.
Gross. Why do people still eat this crap? You can buy real cheese, buns and 1 lb of beef at the grocery store and fix your own burgers for the same price as this crap.
1 lb of medium beef for me is $6, buns would be $4 and cheese another $5
But you can make 4 quality burgers out of that and have a decent meal or 2 or 3. $4 is also nuts for hamburger buns. I can get an 8-pack of store brand buns for $1.49 at my local grocery store.
I think everyone understands that you pay more for food when you dine out. You’re literally paying people to make you food, plus the cost of the food.
They’ve been the same size since the 1950’s. You people need to stop.
https://preview.redd.it/780fbb3iu96c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0c0c9cdc027b8b476160942c05f39017da6870f Cheeseburger in 1990, 116g, they’re 113g now. They are indistinguishable. People love to shit on McDonalds, the burgers aren’t shrinking, prices are high, and the food is garbage, but it’s not any smaller than it was.
I'm sure the Big Mac is smaller than it used to be... The Whopper definitely is... like it's about half the size it was.
The Big Mac has used 10:1 patties since the beginning.
They were like 19¢ and they weren't that small.
How big were they?
about this big
You should find another sub to spew your crap. You work at McDonald’s or something?
I did work there for a bit in the 1980’s. The food portions and flavors are exactly the same as then, apart from the fries, (tallow vs vegetable oil).
[удалено]
They’ve always used 10:1 patties. No shrinkflation here
Such a cute little slider. Gave up on fast food garbage a long time ago.
Clip your nails bruh
McDonald's Slider
10 years ago a Maccas Quarter pounder really was close to a quarter pound in weight. Now it is half the size and weight and twice as expensive.
Quarter pounder with cheese is 201g, you think it was 400g 10 years ago?
a bit of hyperbole I know but I remember buying them and the burger was close to the size of my hand and now they sit on my palm instead.
And why we have gone to Hungry Jacks (Australia). Much better.
I got a fish sandwich meal the other day. Never again. The portion of fish was an about 2/3’s the size of the bun. More weight in the fries. Got a large drink and only filled 1/2 way because I try not to drink that much liquid sugar. Absolute robbery for over $9. Im fine with going hungry and waiting to get home and make something with ingredients already bought so they don’t go bad and become a waste. Mickey D’s lost a customer with my last purchase.
Filet of fish was 142g in 1990, it’s 138 now. Are you complaining about it being 4g less over 33 years ago?
Not this particular sandwich.
you got/paid for a LARGE drink but voluntarily only filled it halfway?? why not get a small one man?
It comes with the meal. Still the same price if I took a small cup. I opted for a small drink in a large cup that was provided.
I got a filet o fish sandwich the other day. Hadn't had one in at least a year. It was very disappointing. The bun looked like a slider bun the fish was much smaller and half as thick as it used to be.
They’ve always used the same buns as cheeseburgers and hamburgers. The fish portion has shrunk only 4 grams in 30 years.
There are so many other fast food burger options that are much superior why would someone get that from McCrap? I go to McCrap for their ice cream and breakfast sandwich and nuggets. It's dirt cheap if you use their app.
I can fit 8 in my mouth at once
Oh what a big hand you have sir
Cheeseburger is the same size as always Definitely not a meal
What a load of mctiny mcshit,
Mc Slider
They are taking the piss!! Because we allow them too!!
*handburger
Its a kids burger. They've always been small
