    Big mac has always been a scam.

    It has the same amount of meat as a mcdouble. They’re literally just selling you bread.

        Interesting video. I’m glad others have realized how similar the two burgers are.

        When comparing the value of the two, I always look for what it costs the business to make rather than how much satisfaction it provides to the customers. That’s a great way to identify if people are getting scammed without even realizing it.

        Soda and fries, for example, are total scams. They cost the company pennies while the customer pays dollars. But what’s a meal without fries and a drink? And businesses bank on that.

        Same thing for a Big Mac. Most people say “it’s the mac sauce,” but you’re still getting the same amount of meat as a mcdouble with some shitty lettuce, more bread, and that sauce. The only thing that really costs the company money is the meat. You get the same amount of meat in a McDouble as Big Mac, but end up paying twice the price.

        It’s a scam, even if people say the Big Mac is still better.

          The question was if a mcdouble like a big Mac was the same thing, and through a taste test these guys said no. Not price, taste.
