Kyyle23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lif...0,7830011.story I didnt react as harshly to these commercials as the critics, but when I do see them I think they are rather simple. Personally I LOVE big macs, but I dont mind eating Whoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 A nicely cooked Whopper beats up in the Big Mac IMO, but I've found that most BK's in Chicago are really gross. Best Whopper I've ever had: McKarron airport, 2pm, after not eating for 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's maddening most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I was driving from New York to Hartford over the summer for work. I received an emergency call near Bridgeport, and I had to pull off and look for Wifi to connect in. Went to a McDonalds there for the Wifi, and they had a Angus Burger. Probably the best McDonalds burger I have tasted. Its a testing location for it. And they haven't brought it here yet. I have been haunted by it ever since. http://www.slashfood.com/2007/03/08/new-an...s-at-mcdonalds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Honestly, I don't think it's fair to compare the two sandwiches. Other than the burger and the bun, they are totally different. They should have compared a Whopper and a Big N' Tasty or something like that. At least they have similiar toppings. Anyone else remember when BK brought out something called the Big King which was basically a Big Mac with a BK burger? It didn't last long.

bmags Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Why would someone who has absolutely no credibilty or experience in the subject be a more influential voice than an american who tastes hundreds of burgers? What are they trying to say? Oh, the problem is you all know what a burger is and have comparisons to know ours tastes like s***! If you knew nothing you would prefer us!

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Whoppers are quite good if the burger isn't overdone and dried out. I can't do the Special Sauce on Big Macs. Quarter Pounder w/Cheese is easily my favorite of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 My only reaction when I first saw this commercial was "either would give the villagers terrible diarrhea" because their bodies certainly would not be used to fast food.

MHizzle85 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Whoppers>Big Macs. I also don't see the fuss in these commercials, i'm sure they think both burgers our disgusting by their standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt get much better than a big bacon classic or a JBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Big Macs would be less "tasty" to "burger virgins" because they have thousand island dressing on them which can taste sour to a first time eater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What-a-Burger >>> any other fast food burger Getting back to the ads, it does seem to be exploitative. I'm not outraged, but mildly uncomfortable. But they are, in a way, just actors playing a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I had Wendy's last night. For some reason McDonald's just doesn't taste good to me anymore, and I burned myself out on Burger King a few years ago. Why'd Wendy's get rid of the Big Bacon Classic in favor of the Baconator? The Baconator sucks, it's like half a dead pig on a cheeseburger with no other ingredients. If I wanted that much bacon I'd just go to Bob Evans.

I am no meat-atarian I guess, because its just too much beef and bacon, it just tastes like grease and cheese. I always tell them to add lettuce tomato and onion, or at one Wendys I go to I ask for the Big Bacon Classic and they make it the old way. But I am pretty much done with the baconator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
