To celebrate the World Cup, that huge sporting event everyone in the world but the United States cares about, McDonald's will be offering a special World Cup burger that will be forty percent larger than the normal Big Mac patty. At first I was impressed, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it's actually not that big of a deal. I'm going to assume that the Big Mac is roughly the same size in other countries as it is in the United States, which is to say, it's not that big. I mean, the sandwich itself is big, once all the ingredients are stacked on, but the patty itself is rather small and flimsy. Increasing it by forty percent pretty much just makes it the size of a normal burger, right? Anyway, it turns out at least one person isn't happy about the meat increase, claiming it will have a negative impact on children's diets.McDonald's launches World Cup burger
