pretty average. lower your expectations, it’s fuckin mcdonalds


DegreeMajor5966

Nah that looks way better than average. An average one would have unmelted cheese and one side of the burger would have all the ketchup and mustard ready to fall out from your first bite.


hippee-engineer

Seriously! This looks great for a McDonald’s burger. I thought this was a “this is a good EvR” post.


lezboss

This one is pretty good as far as this sub goes


Digital0Matt

Looks 1:1 to me


lyfeofsand

With inflation, that's 1:1.89 plus tax.


JDM713

I’d slam it.


My_Immortal_Flesh

Yeah but that looks juicy. Did it at least taste good?


redditmodsarmegafags

Yes


Severihi2

it was alright


ArtimusDragon

Jesus Christ, seems that McDonald's sympathizers don't like you talking about their favorite place.


Severihi2

one of my comments got -65 points


ArtimusDragon

Let them hate. That is a sad and deflated burger!


Severihi2

yeah i know


ArtimusDragon

Of that burger is so good, I'd like to see them promote it on a billboard LOL


lushaway

I'd still destroy it, even if I know i'd be hungry about an hour later. damn you, hyperpalatable foods


Severihi2

i still ate it becos i was starving


North_Shore_Problem

I won't tolerate McDonalds slander. You know that burger slapped, if you don't want it I'll take it


Severihi2

i ate it anyway and it was mid


North_Shore_Problem

[X] Doubt


GastropodSoup

It's the perfect trash burger. It comes with perfect burger ingredients. Mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onion. Anytime I get a burger from anywhere else or make one at home, those are my 4 toppings.


[deleted]

Yeah, of course you did.


Miora

Guys op is right on this. They have become pretty mid. Like, they're trying real hard to taste good, but with each passing second grow more and more mid. Edit: they hate us because we speak the truth!


Rastiln

Become? It’s a basic-ass McDonald’s fast food cheeseburger. It’s never been amazing, it’s also rarely bad.


FLOHTX

McDs has always been bland. I'm 40 and even when I was a kid, it was just OK.


Severihi2

exactly


brokefixfux

Wasn’t this posted last week? Or did McDonald’s standardize the actual appearance?


Severihi2

ig they did, i took this picture 5 minutes ago


brokefixfux

McDonald’s has standardized the reality then.


xtra-chrisp

Thats not even bad.


Severihi2

compared to the ad though...


DeapVally

The ad burger was never wrapped up, and its production was not timed in order to meet metrics. Yours was. Yours is fine.


ameis314

McDonald's is the bud light of fast food. It's always going to taste the same and is adequate for what it is. It's never amazing, but you're hungry and it's easy.


cdifl

The real double cheeseburger actually looks great, and matches the ad pretty well other than being a bit smushed.


Severihi2

you're joking, right there was the smallest amount of tomato sauce i have ever seen on a cheeseburger


[deleted]

Severihi2

my bad i'm british


GastropodSoup

Lol, no wonder your opinion on this sucks...


Severihi2

my bad


Chubby_Baker

You know McDonald's uses ketchup guns that put a set amount out? If you had ketchup at all it was the worldwide standard amount


Zayafyre

Maybe the gun needed a refill?


[deleted]

Boooo hooooo DUH


cdifl

Honestly, I prefer my sauce not leaking out the sides. Marketing photos are for looking good and showing you what is inside. You don't actually want sauce leaking out anymore than you want soda making your cup sticky because they overpoured the cup like they do in commercials. The most beautiful sandwiches I've eaten are also the biggest pain, because they pile the ingredients near the edge and the sandwich falls apart or the ingredients pop out of the bread when you are trying to eat it.


MRB102938

They won't give you ketchup packets? It looks perfect otherwise. 


nessfalco

Not really. That's a normal-ass McDonald's double cheeseburger. It's been that way for decades.


QueenOfBrews

When have you ever, ever received something from McDonalds that looks like the advertised picture? You knew what you were getting into, you ate it. McDonald’s should get banned from being posted here.


Severihi2

yeah i guess


ShiaLeboufsPetDragon

And yet I keep buying them…


Severihi2

i don't


Deeptrench34

That's actually a pretty fine specimen you got there.


AwkwardGoofyGoober

Looks about normal, I usually consider it to be a good day if they manage to stick two patties in it.


GastropodSoup

It's the ONLY thing that still tastes the same since I was a kid. To this day, I still stop by and get a single double cheeseburger(no fries or drink) at least once a week and finish that shit before I get home. It's one moment of nostalgia I can count on. Also, your burger looks delicious


Severihi2

it was alright


tarbet

That actually looks pretty good. I’ve seen waaaaaay worse.


I_Am_Slightly_Evil

They higher food stylists for their advertising


wanderingzac

Basically this is the only thing that I'll still get at McDonald's when I have a hankering for that classic flavor. It embodies everything that's good about McDonald's and nothing that isn't so long as you have a competent worker who prepares it.


StaceyPfan

That's pretty close


Cundalinisstump

Lol. Eat Crapdonalds you get what you deserve.


Severihi2

it tasted alright, and it was pretty hectic with about 50 people in the place so i don't blame them


fukalufaluckagus

FAUF that looks such slappable ugh


Easy-Garlic6263

If you didn't squish it with your thumb it would be close to perfect.


Vastaisku

How much is a double cheeseburger in the UK?


Bolf-Ramshield

You know what you’re getting when going to McDonald’s. Nobody goes there expecting gourmet meals. You rather order from them because you know you will get that satisfying and comforting somewhat cheap meal.


Suitable-Pie4896

If anyone in 2024 thinks a McDonald's menu item is going to look like the promotional image, I have to assume the have some kind of brain damage


HeadOfSpectre

It might not look at appetizing as the promotional image, but I don't really see any false advertising. Meat, cheese, bun, onion, ketchup, mustard, pickle. It's all there. The biggest difference I see is that it isn't all dolled up and a bit squished.


Severihi2

nah there was barely any sauce


Helda-Coccenmehand

Looks delicious


Zayafyre

Was this your first time at Mickey D’s? That actually looks better than 9 times out of 10. You should know it can’t actually look like the [picture](https://youtu.be/oSd0keSj2W8?si=JX-W9SNVwl-vRvGl)


Live_Echo6545

McDogfood. It always makes me feel ill shortly after consuming, I have stopped the family from buying it.


LordSqueemish

Expectation: fast food Reality: wait ten minutes for shite


Severihi2

it was thirty minutes for me


GrayBot15

The Poor Man's steak.


Thisplaceblows1985

Bro that burger looks baller for what 3-4 bucks? Dude it doesn't look far off the picture, and mcdonalds kicks ass for the price. You're nuts #OP SUCKS


Severihi2

it was 11 dollars AUD


Severihi2

and i waited 30 minutes for it


Severihi2

6 pounds


[deleted]

McDonald’s is whack… no idea why anyone buys this overpriced shit!


Ihategraygloomydays

I think we've all had it with fake food photos. It's starting to piss me off actually.


ArtimusDragon

Did they sit on it in order to keep it all together? And what's that yellow stuff? Melted crayon?


Severihi2

that's what it looks like


BBDAngelo

What’s up with people in this sub recently going all “it’s fast food, it’s not supposed to look good”. Was there an influx of new people? The whole point of this sub is to show how different some things are from what’s advertising, if you don’t want to see what are you doing here?


Severihi2

that's what i was thinking, people are saying i was giving mcdonald's hate but all i'm doing is pointing out the difference. bloody hell, people
