Changing $12 for what is functionally agricultural waste product is so fucking funny.
Ground beef is what’s left on the cow after all the choice bits have been carved off. The bun is so thick with preservatives most organisms literally can’t eat it. The sauces are just colored corn syrup. The produce is bottom of the barrel.
This isn’t food, it’s industrial runoff. You’d eat better picking through the trash of a real grocery store.
Lol. You don’t know shit about fuck. It’s honestly a little amazing.
Found the vegan. lol.
It’s the gateway drug to insulin. Corn syrup infused fats, no vitamins or any other important stuff.
Does OP even Taco Town?
Americans shop for calories per dollar.
Please don’t look at why they do that, we’re the best country ever!
Wait until op discovers a hamburger with a glazed donut for a bun and the entire thing is deepfried.
Wait till Americans discover deep-fried candy bars, the one area where the Europeans (well, Scots in particular) area ahead of Americans in deep-fried tech.
We’ve had that for nearly a century, it’s just state fair food because even Americans have standards.
Forcing Presidents to eat Iowa Goy Slop on national television like it’s a TLC reality TV show called “My 1000 lb Family” is a rite of passage in this country.
Comes with a side of insulin I hope. $800 combo
I haven’t discovered this yet, praying 2025 won’t be my year 🙏🏼
served with a side drink of milkshake with double cream on it
Is it a five dollar shake?
Only with coupons
Haha. At this point a fast food shake probably costs $5.
I think you think you are joking but that is a real beverage option for said burger. They even add a stick of butter for extra fat content.
No I don’t, I have encountered many americans trying to convince me that this is a reasonable combo…
They didn’t give you a pack of cigarettes with your meal? How un-yurapeein!
that’s france and finland specifically not all of europe
Malnourished european can not handle a real meal.
fun part is americans are fat AND malnourished….
Explain how we are malnourished when ONE burger contains EVERY food group. You can’t.
vitamin deficient
That’s what we got flintstone gummies for bruh.
You put Fred Flinstone in your mouth? Sounds kind of gay.
flintstone gummies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flintstones_Chewable_Vitamins
They feature vitamins in the shapes of the Flintstones characters: Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, Pebbles Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Betty Rubble, Bamm-Bamm Rubble, Dino, and The Great Gazoo.
For over twenty years, Betty was not included as one of the vitamins. However, after a grassroots campaign and the results of a Bayer telephone poll came in favor of including Betty, the character was added to the lineup in 1995, replacing the Flintstone car.
The [email protected] people should be using Betty as their mascot.
Big food is kind of a marketing thing in America. Restaurants want to give their customers more " bang for their buck" (or at least appear to), but they don’t want to lower prices. Instead, they increase portions. This has lead to a size arms race where every restaurant wants to claim they have the biggest food in town. This is especially the case for burger joints. It doesn’t matter to the restaurant if customers eat all their food, since they pay for all of it either way. I’m guessing Americans are more culturally susceptible to this marketing tactic, since bigger-is-better is common here, and hence things have been taken further than in other countries.
This seems to be another case of someone throwing reason out the door for the sake of insulting Americans. There is no way you would be getting “shit eating grins” for ordering a kids meal. And if your large burgers are smaller than a kids meal, you either have very little size variation, or the small would be like a single bite.
Yeah, that worker is one of two in the entire restaurant. She has to take your order plus the five behind you, the drive-thru orders, make fries, bag it all up, take your monkey, clean tables, make coffee, refill the ketchup/soda/milkshake/yogurt contraptions with their various bags of sugary goo, restock counters/tables with all the varied plastic and paper geegaws, take out the trash, stock the walk-in, clean the bathrooms somebody sprayed with liquid shit, then count out and get to her other job by 3pm so she can then do it all again tomorrow. She doesn’t give a fuck what anyone orders, it’s just a blur of colors and lower back pain.
If she makes a face it’s probably the best she can do to fake a smile because you might be a secret shopper who is going to ding her points for not saying, “Welcome to McDonald’s Home of the McFlurry™ now with DoubleStuff™ Oreo™, what can I get started for you today because It Just Tastes Better!!℠” with the proper amount of obsequiousness.
There’s plenty of reasons to hate the hellscape, no reason for anon to invent some.
She can’t have my monkey!
the “tiny” burgers like the $5 biggie bag at Wendy’s is the perfect amount of food. jr bacon cheeseburger, small fries, 4 piece nugget, drink.
THATS normal portion, even if it’s not healthy, not a 1/2 lb double cheeseburger 6 inches in diameter, 3 inches thick and a 32oz bucket of cola.
I need to investigate this “biggie bag”
it’s my go to, good value for what you get. those $15 baconator bullshits are WAY overrated.
Isn’t that still over half your daily calories needed in your “normal portion”?
I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there’s no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That’s definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I’m a middle-aged 5’0" lady. Still, that’s a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!
Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. Not enough protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.
probably, but it’s the right size, never said it was healthy lol
They call the tiny one a “biggie bag”?
They really don’t want to let on that small burgers are available, do they?
It’s because fastfood places need to compete on either value or quality. They can also try to do both by primarily aiming to convey quality and having a special menu or set of offerings that promise the same quality but at a better price.
Wendy’s mostly brands themselves as quality focused as compared to other fast food places. So their “good deal” offering has to promise to offer the same quality at a lower price, which means smaller. So they call it big to camouflage that it’s actually smaller.
I’m not asking for an explanation, I’m criticizing.
I already know very well that you people like to explain why it makes sense that things are screwed and backwards.
What do you mean “you people?” Racism.
After the 2024 election I’m 100% “racist” against Americans. Enjoy 2025.
Where the hell are yall getting burgers at? Every fastfood place near me serves anemic, poorly prepared burgers that are not worth the cost for taste and only rarely worth the time investment when it’s near midnight and I need to absorb the alcohol in my stomach
$5 is worth for a quick lunch to me.
Where are you getting any kind of fast food for $5 these days?
Wendy’s. some places it’s $6
Falsified and homosexual. No Yuroopeens allowed
It’s interesting reading responses on this because I’m gathering a lot of Europeans/non-americans think that burgers are always fast food?
When an american thinks of a good burger I think most of us are picturing our favorite bar and grill’s burger, not a chain fast food one.
Are burgers pretty much only at fast food chains in other countries?
Nope. Tons of places make them. I have no clue what these people are on about. Just fake outrage, I guess.
REEEEE NOT EVERYWHERE IS AMERICA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It would be interesting to have a poll by country about what people think a burger is.
There’s a place I know in Saskatchewan, that makes 3/4 lb burger patties out of good quality chuck, serves them with two pieces of bacon, couple onion onion rings, on two pieces of inch thick garlic texas toast he fries on the griddle in mayonnaise and bacon fat, fancy mustard and some spicy sauce he makes himself. You’ll never have anything like it, I’m pretty sure he’s smoking the hamburger before grinding it. Embarrassing five guys easy for price and quality, and it’s just some guy owns a dive bar with no staff but him.
I’m always interested in polls and stats. But I’m fairly confident that this one would be boring. Just your run of the mill buns, patty and whatever fillings are most popular. Usually a mix of lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, cheese (altho some might see cheese as a cheeseburger thing and think that’s not a burger)
Some places won’t let you order a kids meal unless you have a kid with you.
Why would they care? Is the rule really enforced?
Absolutely they enforce it. To the point that they rather you leave the restaurant.
Some places they actually discount the kids meals. Places that don’t have this policy people would abuse it by only buying 2 or 3 kids meals since that is the best food to cost ratio.
What if you come with a kid and buy only discount kids meals? 😺
It goes something like this: https://youtu.be/kvxe-auK2sI
American burgers are the king of all burgers, bottom line
That said 2 things I absolutely agree with:
A burger should be small enough to easily bite. It’s okay if you have to smoosh it down a bit with your hands to do so, but if I have squash it to shit or take it apart or cut it or eat it weird you’ve fucked up such a basic thing
If you already have ketchup, mustard, mayo, bbq, etc then why do I need “burger sauce”? Your burger sauce is probably just some variation on mayo and ketchup anyway. Thanks for making my burger a sloppy piece of shit akin to eating ribs
This poster speaks the truth.
Burger sauce can be pretty delicious
Ok, serious question, is American fast food different from European? I’ve been to our local McDonalds and the like and the food is fucking atrocious. Tasteless non-identifiable meat patty with some mayo, ketchup, “cheese” and a sorry excuse for a vegetable. I mean it’s just bad. Is American chain food better or are you just delusional?
I mean, I don’t know an american that would list any fast food as the place that serves the best/their favorite burger.
When I visited US their mcdonalds burgers tasted ± the same as local (eastern europe), that is exactly as you described. What was different is million different options that they asked me and were somewhat aggressive with me being slow. 🫠 Drinks were enormous in size and super cold, air conditionioners set to something like 16 while its 30+ outside everywhere. 😄
dont stop them. it was a mistake to take care during the pandemic. let them eat a ton of fat a day, zip some raw milk with mountain dew - because that is how you solve a problem. you do not stop it.
look at world aid. tried to stop world hunger…and more people than ever die from hunger.
we proling a problem by trying to solve the impossible. there is no argument to convince imbeciles.
Guarantee it was a very reasonable burger and this person just wanted to bitch and moan
For an American, sure.
But basic cheeseburgers here are around the size of what you call sliders.
