Burger King Bacon Burger $5 Meal - Sauce For Scale

Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain't a joke for a drink size! BTW, that's supposed to be sweet tea, but it's bitter as hell..

That drink would be a medium size in Germany... Drink sizes is the one thing we do right I think.

- Sizes yea maybe for soda, but y'all charge for water and then give it to you in a tiny ass (relative to water anyways) cup.
  
  At least here the cups may be gargantuan, but you're free to fill it with water and ice for free

  If you specifically ask for tap water, it's free, and must not be denied.

- I recently ordered a medium soda for my dad at a McDonald's and I was full of regret. It must have been like 32 oz. It was huge. Probably enough calories in the soda alone to be a meal.

  The drink in my post is smaller than the smallest drink there.
  
  Yes, I'm aware that I'm comparing McDonald's to Burger King, but small/medium/large should be similar capacities between restaurant chains and not deceptive between the different sizes.
  
  Edited for clarity.

- That drink size is the smaller than small size that they offer if you just ask for a cup of water.
  
  Maybe the photo angle makes it look bigger, but seriously it's about as small as a toddler's sippy cup.

  Looks like about 12 oz plus ice.

  Yeah that's a medium in Germany. What you call small is our large, and XL has been banned to curb sugar addiction. Drinks come in 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 liters. (6.75, 10.1, 16.9 oz). XL used to be 1 liter (20 oz), and that was deemed too much.

this looks like a generous amount of food for $5 at a fast food place

- What are you, lilliputian?

  It's probably about a thousand calories. So, yeah it'll do.

Good. You shouldn't be eating a lot of that stuff anyway.

19
- Any*

That looks pretty reasonable for five bucks.

19
- Yeah, by today's 'standards', if that's what you're used to.
  
  This is the shrinkflation community, some of us remember when an actual adult size meal was $5, not this kids sized shit.
  
  Hell, the drink cup is even smaller than their official small size.

  This is an adult-sized meal.

mcdonalds is advertising something like this to which is basically copying wendys thing they have been doing for awhile. meanwhile taco bell is advertising how great the garbage in their $7 box is. who knew it only took a few bucks to kick my fast food bad habit.

- There's nothing wrong with Taco Bell's bean burritos and they're only about two bucks. Of course, most of what they sell is garbage. I miss their black bean burritos. Those were actually good.

  You can swap meat for black beans in any tacobell item - 1 for 1. No charge.
  
  The veggie cravings box is my go-to I don't want to cook meal.

  Eh? I could have sworn I just saw those on the menu when I was there a couple weeks back

  I haven't been to a Taco Bell in like 20 years, after they put already opened packets of hot sauce in my drive through bag. But that's a different story for a different day under a different community..

- We don't often go for fast food, but once or twice a month we're too lazy to make our own food and just wanna relax at the end of the day.
  
  But yeah, fast food generally sucks anymore these days. In all fairness though, it filled a hole in my belly, but the tea tasted like shit.

  I would grab stuff way to often but its basically twice what it used to be and went from something I could do without tracking to something I need to budget for (partially also because necessities are more expensive puting the squeeze on it in two ways) and whelp. it aint worth budgeting for. we have actually been taking what we used to spend and buying a bit higher quality grocery items. It sucks losing the convenience but eating better is nice.

5$ in Canada will get you the small fry

14
- Yeah I was thinking that's a good meal for 5 dollars in Australia.
  
  6
- Oof, damn ☹️

That meal contains 2 different animals, bread, cheese, fries, a sauce, and a drink? How can that only be $5?

9
Damn, they made the sauces bigger?

7
When a big mac combo is $13 I will take that

6
- Please don't tell me you think this kiddie burger looks anywhere near as big as a Big Mac..
  
  -6
  
  Fries + nuggets together probably cost more than the fries
  
  Drink is the same size
  
  Burger isn’t 1/3 of a big mac
  
  But sure
  
  “When the dollar menu combo is $6 I will take that”

  A big Mac is just 2 kiddie burgers in a trenchcoat

McDonald's advertises their $5 meal deal nationally but Southern California only has it for $6. I wonder if Burger King does the same thing.

5
- It rings in at $5.35 after 7% tax here. Still, the food is actually smaller than the old-school Happy Meals..
  
  4
- Before or after tax? :p
  Could be that they have it priced at $5 before in most and $5 after tax in other states
  
  4
  
  Before tax of course. Never seen a price with tax included before. Way too many different state/county/city tax differences for that to work well, at least in the US.

I hate to be that guy, but you’d really just be better off waiting, aka fasting, until get a chance to eat some real food. But never mind you only live once.

Rarely do, only once or thrice a month..
