Default Why no Mega Mac in the UK?

I was as at a Turkish airport a few weeks ago and decided to have a Mac dees. They had something called a Mega Mac, it was basically two Big Macs put together and it was gorgeous! I always find one Big Mac is noyt enough, too much bread and not enough meat (or meat substitute LOL)

Why don't we have these in the UK?

Now before the health police on here start having a fit, I only eat food like this once every few months, so its not a part of my regular diet!

The "problem" is that many folks would make it part of their diet!

They used to do the Mega mac over here a few years ago, along with the double quarter pounder, it was canned not long after though.

You could them a while ago. As said just like a double big mac. I like Big Macs but the nicest Mac D burger is the one they have now and again that tastes like a bugerking burger.

Burgerking are nicer IMO.

Oh, and its been on here before but this is just pure win.

Both the Double Quarter Pounder and Double Big Mac are standard menu item over here. I prefer the Quad Stacker from BK though, or a Baconator from Wendy's.

Have to agree with you there, Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddle with a Hash Brown does make a rather good breakfast snack.

If you were at a Turkish airport and you bought one of those you must be feckin loaded...

When flying out of Antalya I was charged 48 euros for 2 sandwiches, a wrapp, and 3 soft drinks.....and the ****** didnt even have the decency to wear a mask.

We learnt to raid the "all inclusive" at the hotel for carryouts next time around, Im not tight, but cant be doing with getting ripped off.

Yup. I was at Dalaman airport and its the same. Its not my first time there, and the last time I promised myself that I would bring my own food this time round. Unfortunately circumstances did not allow it.

The prices are just bonkers and I don't know how they get away with it. A big mac meal was about £9, but a mega mac meal was JUST a pound more, so it made sense!

Next time, I'll defo try and take my own food. A can of Effes lager was about £5, I'll take my own booze as well....
