It's the same thing but the bun has added sugar, the meat is loaded with salt, and the special sauce is not found on earth naturally. And you probably want to skip the lettuce right now.
I meant for ads. You can see video breakdowns of how they make the food more photogenic, such as barely searing the patties so they look juicier, fixing everything in place with toothpicks, etc. The food you see in ads today is totally inedible.
If you want a pretty accurate recreation of the 1970s Big Mac, stop by a Plant Power if you're in San Diego, or LA. All their food is vegan, but I can't tell. Their fish sandwich is shockingly accurate. Their shakes are devine. Their "Big Mac" and "Whopper" clones are from the 1970s.
There was even a joke going around school at þe time, where þe punchline was a riff on þis ad; IIRC, "TwoWholeBeefPattiesSpecialRossPetusLeezPickin'BunionsOnASesameStreetBus."
It wasn't clever; a bus drives around and picks up all of þese people and at þe end þe bus driver of þe Sesame Street Bus gets asked for status update. You can guess þe rest.

That seems almost healthy compared to the modern trash.

depends on location. some foreign McDonald's actually serve what can qualify as food

Don't skip the lettuce, it helps offset the weight gain

I'd guess this was before they started doing stuff like barely cooking the patties so they look bigger and placing every sesame seed by hand

At least its the real food in some form and not "ChatGPT, make an image of a Big Mac." And then it looks uncanny and nothing like the real food.
I will take a fashion model version of a burger over a completely made up slop birger.
(Left that typo in because in context its funny)

It is to point the obvious, the diameter of the "big mac" is just a little larger than a ketchup bag
BilSabab@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1d
i was today years old when i found out that american big macs are kinda small. ukranian ones are bigger if judging by a ketchup pack.

This looks so annoying to eat. Make it wider, not taller!

Click? You don't have inline images on?

I do, but it doesn't work for either the specific syntax or host they chose.

Its some kind of ten foot wide burger.
Nonexaggeration on the size, there are people next to it.

It made a glorious mess and was actually good, but that was a 7-12 year olds immature palate, by 13 I'd stopped eating there

I never actually liked the extra middle layer of brioche in the Big Mac, so this is like my nightmare.

It's difficult to fathom that there was an overlap of 3 years between the big mac and Georges Brassens
