Big Mac vs. The Whopper

HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Big Mac vs. The Whopper

The Big Mac is the Superior Sandwich!



Since the realization that hamburgers were bad for you the "Burger Wars" have kind of taken a back seat to sushi and hummus sandwiches. However I know that people are still eating burgers based on the line at my local McDonald's.

As for me I prefer the Big Mac minus the pickle. I also put ketchup on mine which my husband says is a violation of McDonald's rules. Apparently when he worked there as a teenager they were not allowed to put ketchup on a Big Mac even if a customer requested it. I guess it ruins the culinary excellence of the sandwich!

So which do you prefer?

YOUR TURN!

Big Mac vs. The Whopper

Yes, you're right! Big Mac's Are The Best!

Raychulj says:

Gotta go with that special sauce! I don't like the burnt taste of whoppers. It in no way tastes "flame broiled"

BelindaBlevins says:

I love the Big Mac

---Chazz says:

Pukeko says:

I would choose Big Mac over anything at BK

c says:

big mac...enough said!!!

undebatablejudge says:

fuck yeah, the delicate zest and mcdonalds taste

ElErico says:

Whoppers are disgusting, chewy and I burp them for days. Gross!

Big D says:

Just tasted both again (sorry was bored) the whopper tasted ok...but was thrown together horribly, was cold, and the veggies were falling all over the place. Seriously. The Big Mac was put together better, and had a better overall "look and flavor" to it. I asked for it without pickles, and it was perfect. So u BK folks........well, get on with ur bad selfs!!!! Get some real food from a real restaurant, and folks that REALLY cook ur food.

Big D says:

Oh I forgot to mention that "King" dude is freakin' creepy. He needs to have his butt kicked. Totally gross, BK.

No way, Monkeybrain! I Want It My Way With The Whopper!

mama grigg's says:

they both suck...... they both taste like processed cow poop and should be burned in the depths of hell!!

ASF says:

WHOPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cffutah says:

Sara says:

me says:

both are terrible and taste like a hot dog that has got shoved up someones ass

Britt says:

big mac taste like shit i go for the whopper :)

ChrissLJ says:

Whopper... specifically the Veggie Whopper. But even before I became a vegetarian, I always liked Whoppers better. BK uses fresher tomatoes and lettuce than McDonald's, and their buns taste like more than a mouth full of flour.

MoiraCrochetsPlarn says:

I haven't really tasted the Big Mac's but my husband's Whoopers are the best!

Jack says:

Whopper is beast. Its even fun to say the name.

miaponzo says:

Well.. I honestly adore them both (and they are probably healthier for us than humous sandwiches, believe me.. )... but I think Whopper wins for me, because it is flame broiled...

YALCIN says:

THE BIG MAC IS A GOOD SANDWICH WHICH I LOVED FOR YEARS. I AM ANGRY THAT MQD'S ECONOMIZED THE MAC AND MADE IT SMALLER. I ALWAYS ENJOYED A PIPING HOT MAC WHEN I CAME IN OUT OF THE COLD. THE WHOOPER HASNT DECREASED IN SIZE AND TASTE, I MISSED THE PLASTIC FOAM CONT THE MAC HAD, AND THE MULTICOLOR WRAPPING PAPER THE WHOOPER HAD. I PREFER THE WHOOPER

Philippians468 says:

bring on the WHOPPER!

says:

I like them both but I do prefer The Whopper over the Big Mac.

DLT says:

They need to increase the size of the patty in the Big Mac and I would like it better than the Whopper! But I like the charbroiled taste better with the Whopper.

Dazzle says:

Whopper is way better quality and nourishing. Maccas are overated by their own advertising, AND!! the only reason they have a new comp out Big mac vs quarter pounder, is so they can increase the price of the winner! Sneaky rats

serioussammi says:

who cares, it's mostly processed soy product and other binders.... it's not a burger. overall the whopper has 40% meat and the big mac's at 25%.

mikey says:

whopper all the way

wec-razi12 says:

whoppers...yummy

Ace0fSpadez says:

WHOPPER OWNS ALL THE BEST BURGER OF ANY COMMERCIAL FAST FOOD RESTURANT GET OVER IT CAUSE ITS TRUE

whopper says:

the whopper is waaayyyy better than the big mac. its healthyer. and its wider.
