    Over here in Europe, McD had some advertisements 2~3 years ago that now the buns are fluffier, the burgers juicier and saucier, the meat hotter. I did some digging and the calories stayed the same, meaning they basically put more air in the buns and more water in the patties to save on money, and to mask it all they put more sauce into it, which is the cheapest thing. I can’t go there anymore, it’s lost quality and you bite into a burger once and it looks like you’ve made out with the Hamburgler.

    Oh and: McD over here used to be some real gourmet stuff. It’s extremely regulated.

      I also thought it tasted as shitty as always even after the update, but when was McDonald’s ever gourmet? It was always terrible.

        I once was in the Netherlands on holiday and the McDonalds there had some sort of Italian burger, a soft panini style bun with with grilled chicken, mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto - that was amazing.

          Oh yeah you’re right I almost forgot, in the Netherlands they have some premium burgers that are actually kind of good just way too expensive for what they are. In the Middle East I found McDonalds also much better.

          In Germany imo it still sucks especially compared to other burger places that do fresh food.

            Oh Middle East! When I was in Dubai I had a spicy chicken burger - they used a whole deboned chicken thigh in there!
