McDonalds 1955 burger
Nice and all, but a lack of imagination from McD's with another limited edition burger with cheese, bacon and caramelised onions.

I like it, always nice to have a bit of a change from them. Not as nice as the chorizo one from the other month though.

I'm surprised they still have burgers left over from 1955!

Too bad it's not 1955 prices
![]() On the Big Mac's 30th birthday, they rolled back prices to 1968 levels, charging 49 cents for a big mac (that's 31p). |

Had one of these at the weekend and I was massively unimpressed. Maybe I was unlucky but I got no bacon and I had the tiniest little bit of sauce. That said, the sauce I did have was quite nice.
I'd love a job in the McDonalds limited edition burger coming up with department, if it exists. The people they have there have no imagination. |

But what most put me off was that the thinnish burger was too wide for the bun so you inevitably ended up eating burger on its own, and on its own it didn't taste very good...

I imagine McDonalds research and experience suggests that customers want fairly unimaginative burgers which is why they produce them.
That said, a little adventure wouldn't hurt. I love burgers and I love playing about with them to make them more interesting, different flavours, etc. etc., that's why having a bog standard beef patty in a cheesy bap with slightly different sauce (for example) doesn't really do it for me. |

I didn't like the smoky sauce on this burger, much preffered the chorizo one from a few weeks back.

When you look at Mcdonalds regular menu it is quite unimaginative:
- Hamburger - Cheeseburger - Double Cheeseburger - Quarter pounder with Cheese - Big Mac (double cheeseburger with lettuce and "special sauce" - "Special burger" that usually consists of cheese, bacon and a special sauce. Compared to BK, McDonalds menu is very lazy, at least with BK they have burgers with items such as Mushrooms and peppers, not to mention better quality burgers - The Angus range. |

There's a thread on here somewhere about McD throughout the world. There's a lot of burgers/options that I would like to try but they don't do them here or outside the specific country. |

Yes I agree Mcdonalds are totally lazy and unimaginative, I also prefer the BK range too but the problem is that there range is expensive compared to McDonalds and there are more McDonalds restaurants.
McD's may be sucessful but that still doesn't stop them being lazy with new ideas and recipes. McD's seem to think a burger with bacon (or what they call bacon) is something special and to get excited about. they obviously still haven't cottoned onto BK's Bacon cheeseburger that has been going for years as a regular menu item. |

Had one on Saturday: not sure what I was expecting but it was nothing special and I won't be having another one.
Yeah, and the milkshake dispenser was on the blink - I was most unhappy. |

BK need to lower their prices to become more competitive with McD's.
They used to be pretty competitive. The Whopper used to be 99 cents... now the Whopper Jr is 99 cents. I usually just go to Wendy's or In-n-Out... haven't been to BK in years. |

I have only ever had on BK in my life, I was much younger and I wasn't impressed. But my tastes have changed a lot since then and would probably try them again one day. |
