  Where the hell are yall getting burgers at? Every fastfood place near me serves anemic, poorly prepared burgers that are not worth the cost for taste and only rarely worth the time investment when it’s near midnight and I need to absorb the alcohol in my stomach

    You think the Baconator is anemic? I think you mean sclerotic.

  Isn’t that still over half your daily calories needed in your “normal portion”?

    I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there’s no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That’s definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I’m a middle-aged 5’0" lady. Still, that’s a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!

      Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. No protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.

  They call the tiny one a “biggie bag”?

  They really don’t want to let on that small burgers are available, do they?

    It’s because fastfood places need to compete on either value or quality. They can also try to do both by primarily aiming to convey quality and having a special menu or set of offerings that promise the same quality but at a better price.

    Wendy’s mostly brands themselves as quality focused as compared to other fast food places. So their “good deal” offering has to promise to offer the same quality at a lower price, which means smaller. So they call it big to camouflage that it’s actually smaller.

      I’m not asking for an explanation.

      I’m criticizing.
