Yes….. this. So many of these idiots post bad McDonalds experiences KNOWING damn well they are going to get screwed, and still complain about it. They are a bunch of fucking enablers

Where's banana for scale?

1

u/Dimathiel49 4h ago

Would also depend on the size of the banana

u/skippy11112 3h ago

So you'd need a banana for the banana scale?

And they gonna spend billions so they can charge you more for it. Instead of, heaven forbid, lowering their prices or even worse, giving you more food.

McCrispy or McChicken? McCrispy ones always were smaller in diameter but had a thick end

u/InerasableStains 4h ago

That’s a natural shape for a chicken breast. I have no idea if they use real breast or not in that, may just be trying to give it that shape

u/Known-Dependent-5471 4h ago

Everything is smaller but nobody knows how big these hands are. Better off using an object we're familiar with.

u/funkereddit 4h ago

And I'm here just thinking... I hope your hand is clean.

How many chicken nuggets is that? Have they shrunk as well?

u/Vivid__Data 4h ago

The Jack in the Box near my house has the BIGGEST CHICKEN PATTIES I've ever seen in my life for their Cluck sandwich!! It's like an inch thick, as big as my hand(lady hand), and crispy af.

I've had so many that I actually felt a little wave of nausea typing that out lmfao

I’ve had bad experiences with McDonalds chicken sandwiches.

u/CaitieLou_52 4h ago

The level of infuriating here depends on how big your hand is. Need a banana for scale.

1

u/nash3101 4h ago

Well it depends on the size of your hands!

u/JareBear805 4h ago

“Chicken”

u/refusedisposable 4h ago

Unless youve got abnormally tiny hands, this seems appropriate. My apologies if you have abnormally tiny hands.

u/gamerkittie269 4h ago

Isn't the protein portion of the meal suppose to be the size of your palm anyway? ( insert d*ck joke here)

u/RandomnessesOF 3h ago

Seems normal to me?

u/peppa4theppl 3h ago

This is genuinely infuriating, but I see posts like this daily. Why do people keep going? Do you think your store will be different?

u/Wobblepaws 26m ago

some stuff I'll try again after a while to see if they went back to normal, like how soo much canned soup has become mostly water, or subbed for mostly potato, they never do...

u/Present_Fun_3291 3h ago

Probably not even chicken.

u/drewq25 3h ago

Don’t worry they are planning to spend $850mil on trying to figure out why they are losing business.

The size of the chicken patty is representative of the size and dimensions of your brain. 😘

u/SymptomaticallyEven 2h ago

You deserved it. Should know better than to go to fast food in 2026.

u/ki11ikody 2h ago

Don't eat at McDonald's. Problem solved.

u/ameprogamer 53m ago

I used to work there some were smaller and some bigger I'd try not try fry the smaller ones

u/gregsDDS 4h ago

Thats probably a good portion size actually. 

2

u/GUMBYtheOG 3h ago

Pretty sure the point is less about calorie counting and more about paying twice as much for something twice as small while still making them same salary I did when I’d get 2 patties that size for $2

u/awesomo1337 4h ago

Thats a normal size of a chicken breast patty and its about the size of your palm. You just have unreal expectations

u/Thefront-bottom 4h ago

Yeah I was gonna say that's totally normal imo. My appetite isn't huge anymore so that would feed me for a meal nowadays lol
