    That seems almost healthy compared to the modern trash.

      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.

        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

        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.

          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)

    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.

        It is to point the obvious, the diameter of the “big mac” is just a little larger than a ketchup bag

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

          Its some kind of ten foot wide burger.

    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.
