I think I might've been in high school the last time I had a big mac.

I have, but Big Macs suck. Way too much bun, and shitty bun at that, with paper thin shitty burgers. And they're what, something like 5 or 6 bucks just for the sandwich now? LOL no.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nope. I even worked there for a couple years and didn't. This the quarter pounder is superior In every way. When I worked there and made myself a sandwich, it was always a double quarter pounder or a McChicken. |

I can honestly say I've never eaten a Big Mac.
Not because I'm all high and mighty about never eating McDonald's, but because when I was younger and went there I'd always order a double quarter pounder with cheese instead. |

We eat fast food about once a month, and it's usually McD's.

I used to grab one every three or four years. Then eating it would remind me they aren’t nearly as good as Inthought they were as a teenager. I know pretty much remember that they are a sucky low quality mush mess. If I have to grab something like on a road trip and it’s quick I’d rather have a two cheeseburger meal or a quarter pounder with cheese. Remember a couple years ago when they touted a less shitty patty for the quarter pounders!?

My first was the year they came out. I still remember the foil wrap and cardboard collar that kept the heel, club, and crown of the bun in perfect alignment.
It was a huge amount of burger for the young me. I didn't have another till in my teens. Now, it's a regular in my rotation of food that I enjoy at McDonald's. ... am I in before the weak tummy crowd starts whining about how sick they get? Fragile fucking panzies! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun. I'm one of those who genuinely thinks they used to taste better and wonders what they do now to make everything taste so nasty. Differences: The 10:1 patties are now cooked on both sides at the same time. Because this has a lower quality sear on the bottom the Maillard effect of caramelization may not occur. Because of the clamshell grill, onion bits are no longer placed on top of the patties (was done when they were flipped) to steam and pick some of the beef juice flavor. The buns are often not toasted. Mac sauce portioning seems inconsistent. Maybe they stopped using the grease gun style dispenser. |

No.
When I was a kid I would get two cheeseburgers when I went to McDonalds... although I really didn't like McDonalds as a kid. As an adult I moved on to the quarter pounder when I went to McDonalds and never wanted to try a Big Mac. I'm like that, I get set in my ways when it comes to food and have no desire to try new things. |

I think they're ok. McDonald's is also kinda kids friendly and the happy meals come with toys. My wife will stop with the kids every once in a while. Last time was 3-4 months ago and my son was playing with that happy meal toy today so it's a win.
Last winter we stopped after Ice Castles and I think I had a big mac. I'm still alive and it didn't give me the runs. Growing up their fajitas and apple pies we're good. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant. That's not McChicken sauce dripping from your mom's snatch. |

Used to eat them 2-3 at a time when I was a scrawny 16y/o with the metabolism of a hummingbird. I'd also kill a couple hot apple pies too.
I still have one about 1x per year. They haven't gotten any better. ETA: I ate a couple of these when we lived in AK:

The bun toasters had a dual sided platen. The prep tray of bun crowns would go on the under side, cut side up. A handle was pulled, and the platen came down to mechanically limited hight that compressed the bun a bit. When the timer went off, the tray was removed and put on the prep table to be dressed. When the crowns were pulled, the heels went into the top side, cut side down. A metal cover went down, again providing a little pressure. The Mac bun toaster had 2 plates. This accommodated 6 heels and clubs at once... Unless your grill team was really good and could handle a 12 burger and 12 Mac turn/lay. We were that good, and better. |

I still remember my first one. My boss wanted to show off his Corvette. So we went to a McD's in northern Detroit, I think it was 1969. It was pretty tasty, but way too far for me to drive for one under normal circumstances.
I think the next time I had one was late 70's as they became more prevalent around my area. |

I had one every school day afternoon, after junior high football practice-- Central Junior High, Moorhead MN, 1970 to 73. in 90 minutes I burned calories equivalent to 3 or 4 Big Macs.
I think they first came out at 50 cents per. There was a McDonald's across the street from the entrance to the locker room of our practice facility, 8th street around 6th avenue south or so. It was the former high school building converted to Moorhead school admin, but they still had the locker room for us. I remember it went to 75 cents. . . F##k!!!!! Worth it though. I recall I went from 5'4" to 5' 9.5" in about 4 months while eating two all beef patties, special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun. Topped out at 6'2" I don't do seed oils now, and the carb count is brutal, but I stick by my decision in those days to do at least 5 per week for 10 weeks a year, paid for by my paper route and lawn mowing business. Totally worth it. |

See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds. |
