The Poor Man's Big Mac

[JacoLesFlea]

thing is, will your local McRegret establishment even go for that???? I would think some free thinking individual under their employ would be hip to yer game.



the LINGO! the LINGO!

I was thinking the same thing. I know my neice orders her hamburgers with no onions and mustard which they have no problem doing but adding stuff I cant see happening.

Totally agree, gentlemen.
I was thinking this was just (special?) sauce for the "fail" goose (assuming we were using Joey3313's theory of the substitutions).
But I didn't add it to the previous conversation as it seemed a few already had enough to "chew" on.

Yea, they do add the stuff, my friend who works at McD's gave me this infomation and I have used it successfully many times.

 

[fo shizzle]

Pretty sure this is the recipe for the big mick.

You're not getting proper credit for this line........

Bravo, Sir.

Something tells me this is going to vary by location and manager.

I've been to McDonalds not just all over the country, but all over the world. A Big Mac is a Big Mac pretty much anywhere (except India ), but the things that do vary are price, menu (some overseas still have pizza...and spaghetti), options and manager willingness to give you too many non-menu extras (like McNugget sauces, etc.).

Enjoy your McD's location. It's not universal. In fact, you might find your ability to do things like this (and this goes for most fast food chains) will actually change by work shift/employee change.
Some will, some won't, some just don't care.

Small world.
One of my Uncle's name is "Randy Watson".
And he used to (years ago) live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Ha!

Howzabout just getting two of their standard burgers, which each sell for under a buck?

Isn't the McDouble (a far superior burger) only $1?(US locations, anyway)

Was that done before or after they did it on the commercial?

I tried this at lunch today, and they were not going for it. I took one for the team. In fact the realy cute girl behind the counter said the "Mac Sauce" was not a "standard condiment". Even apologized. So cute. Oh well. the offending, sans Mac sauce burger is rocketting through my guts like a bullet train as we speak.

these.pipes.will.be.clean.

And yeah, the McDouble is the "budget" double cheeseburger, as in they only give one slice of cheese, and in the few locations I've visited for begrudgelunch, no mustard either.

Dunno. Never had one. When I'm in a hurry at the airport I get two regular burgs and a small diet Coke, and I'm out the door for less than $3. Works for me.

So, since I've gotten so much valuable information from this site, I think I'll give some back.

So, you're hankering for a Big Mac, however you dont have the $3.50 or so required to purchase one. What do you do? The answer in three easy steps.

1. Order a McDouble
2. Substitute ketchup and mustard for Mac sauce
3. Add shredded lettuce

And there you have it, for $1.00-$1.10 (depending on if they charge for lettuce) you get a Big Mac, sans the bun with sesame seeds, and the middle bun.

I'm guessing you didn't post anything in the Single Malt Scotch thread, did you?

Surprising. Usually big chains that have a location inside an aiport, mall, casino, etc. jack up the prices and don't have the usual "dollar menu" type items.

LMAO!


(...hey wait. Neither did I )

 

[8guy]

When I worked at McDs back in the 80s you could not do this, If the customer wanted a Mac then they had to order one, You could remove items but not add ones that the menu didnt say it had.

 

[Brad Johnson]

Some didn't have free drink refills back then either though. Things change.

To the Wayback machine, Sherman!

 

[Joe Gress]

I once took twenty minutes to eat a McDouble. It was the best burger I had eaten in a long time though. Or at least at the time I was incredibly entertained and amazed by it. Haven't had one since then.

I have no theory of substitutions, the OP does.



On an unrelated note, I could never understand how people could do poorly on reading comprehension tests. Different strokes, I suppose.

 

[jelloflouride]

Ketchup and Mayo (also available free) mixed are almost identical to "Special Sauce".

No no no no that's fancy sauce

Unrelated, eh?

OK. I'll fill in the blanks:
"...Joey3313's theory of the OP's intended meaning of his condiment substitution statement".

Very.....comprehendable.
