your table is the wrong way round for the pate weights
The Table of Basis Differences, has an error at bottom. The amount of meat is incorrect. In the Table: the Grand shows 8 oz of meat while the regular shows 10 oz of meat. I would like to think the Grand Mac has more meat than the Regular Mac.
Hi Richard, thank you for catching this. You’re right — the meat-weight row in the comparison table was incorrect and confusing. The Grand Big Mac should have more beef than the regular Big Mac, but the listed numbers were not accurate. We’ve corrected the table and clarified that the regular Big Mac does not use quarter-pound patties. Really appreciate you pointing this out!
