Smaller burgers is an example of hidden inflation...

You will see this with products in the supermarkets too,

price stays the same, but you get less of what you are buying.

Damn fiat currency..  Angry

Food portions have gotten bigger since the 60s, does that mean it's been deflation for the last 50 years?

Don't be silly. You know exactly what he is saying. Price per amount of just about everything has gone up since the 60s. Companies try to hide it by reducing the amount you get while the price stays the same. Just because people are eating like hogs now-a-days doesn't mean deflation.

1965:

Cost of a new home: $21,500.00
Cost of a first-class stamp: $0.05
Cost of a gallon of regular gas: $0.31
Cost of a dozen eggs: $0.53
Cost of a gallon of Milk: $0.95

Mc Donald's just wanted to reduce expenses and improve profitability.  And I think it is being implemented globally.

Definitly smaller than they were a few years back.

What pisses me off the most is the size of Jr. Bacons at Wendys.   Angry

Not just the size but the quality is getting worse and worse.  It's a shame, I used to like the taste of horse meat.   Tongue

I think it is, I remember a few years back, their burgers were a lot bigger. Now I can eat 3 to fill me up. And I think this is globally getting smaller.  Undecided

Well, cost go up so size go down Smiley

They're indeed getting smaller it seems. Cost-cutting measure by McDonald's HQ?

Either way, if I have a choice, I usually go for a burger at Wendy's. I'd definitely go to In N Out if there were any around my parts, though. Those animal style fries are damn good.

I went there recently for the breakfast menu and finished it in like 2 minutes. Not even close to satisfying. You're right... something is happening.

And for the record, I'm like, really skinny and was picked on relentlessly when I was younger, with people and adults asking me if I ever ate anything. So yeah, if I consider the serving size to be small, it's small. lol.

I blame that Morgan Spurlock asshole.

Your missing out though.

Here in the US, theres this wonderful place called "in n out" where the price is nearly close and get better burger lol.

In N Out makes the best hamburger out of all the fast food restaurants and those fries are perfect in every way. I hear the meat patties are ground up homosexuals that the Mormon owners skin alive in Utah. Yum!
we also have like this name is different from your's In N Out but its giving very tough time to this McDnald and hope this shit could be out of here very soon

YES!!

I don't have McDonalds in my town but when I went to Osijek a couple months ago I saw them being so small that I thought hell, I'll need to eat 10 of these Cheesy
I think they were bigger some time ago  Undecided

I know, I remembered Big Mac used to be a challenge to see if you can finis one of them. Now you need to eat 3. They need to change it's name to Baby Mac.  Smiley

yeah, that's embarrassing
such a high price for such a small meal..

High Price? Mac (basically all FastFood) is so cheap that I wonder what they put in there.

Just as small as they've always been. Don't think they can shrink them more here. Tongue

I prefer Burger King, bigger burgers and better taste.
