Big Mac vs Whopper

Whopper has the better taste due to flame broiling.

Whopper, though I no longer eat meat.

Which one is less disgusting?

I think both are tasty.

I love hamburgers, which is why I am not impressed by either.

Big Mac tastes great, but kinda pricey.

I've never had either. I occasionally enjoy a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, though.

I loved Whoppers much better than Big Macs, but our town hasn't had a Burger King in about a decade or more.

Of course, my tastes have completely changed so I might hate it now. Lord knows I avoid McDonald's completely.

Big Mac for me. I find the meat in a Whopper too dry.

I used to love Big Macs when I was a kid. Had one for the first time in many years. All I could taste was salt. It was disgusting. But I think they might have changed the formula over the years. Like maybe the used real meat back in the 70s.

There's an old Greek family-owned diner in deep Hollywood, right next to a Jon's supermarket. Best burger and fries I've had in years. I try not to eat them very often, so now I only eat them now at this place. I go maybe every six weeks.

The smell of Burger King is nauseating.

None of them can match a nice homemade hamburger. A sesame seed bun, slightly toasted. Ground check, seasoned with salt (lightly), pepper (heavily) and a couple of shakes of Tabasco. Some shredded cheddar cheese melted on top, a piece of crisp bacon, a little catsup and mayonnaise, and a crisp piece of iceberg lettuce. Stand over the kitchen sink when you eat, to catch the drips.

Comparing a Big Mac to a Whopper is like comparing apples and oranges. They're not the same thing.

Both are garbage.

The Impossible Whopper is pretty good, R2.

Junk v junk. And not the hot kind of junk.

R10, name of the Greek diner?

Big Mac is really good.

I like both but have been going for Whoppers (or more specifically, Whopper Jr with cheese) lately.

I always wonder how you can go to any McD's or BK and the burgers taste the same no matter which store you go to. I mean, I can walk into any McD anywhere and always get that same distinctive flavor, and the same for the BK. Do they season their meat with scientific precision at every location, so you always get that same Big Mac/Whopper flavor? I find that amazing.

I prefer the Big Mac to the Whopper

Always thought that they were both much too large and have always grown bored when eating them, usually leaving at least half.

Who needs to eat a burger with 600+ calories in it?

R22 Me, I do!

I would say the Whopper is better, less room to hide. Big Mac has the extra bun and the Thousand Island dressing (special sauce). If you put Thousand Island dressing in the Whopper, it's probably better than the Big Mac.

That is a good point R24.

Big Mac every time, though I haven't had a Whopper in a minute... though I have had the Impossible Whopper, and while that was fine, it held nothing on a Big Mac... so I'll have to test that out with meat.

Shit vs Turd?

Pus vs Mucus?

Farts vs Burps?

Hepatitis A vs Scabies?

Burger King has sucked for years now. The employees don't give a fuck and the food tastes like it. The last few times I've eaten there, the burgers tasted like burnt grill and they forgot something (like CHEESE, for fuck's sake).

They're both salty processed crap, but if you get them to hold the mayonnaise on the Whopper and put mustard on it yourself, I think it's a bit healthier. That "flame broiled" taste is artificial seasoning, however, and it does a number to my stomach and I burp "smokey grill" the rest of the day.

Yes R29! It has an awful chemical taste that I can't stand.

It's been years since I've been to a Burger King. Do they still make you order "Whopper with Cheese" in order to get cheese? Or is cheese automatically on the Whopper? As a kid, it bugged me that I was "tricked" into not getting cheese on my burger.

Yes, R31 they still do that bullshit.

Whopper is better but McDonald’s fries are better.

R17, I think r10 is referring to Paro's Family Restaurant 1117 N Hobart Blvd off Santa Monica Blvd.

Whopper. I love me a Whopper - but as said above, BK is a dying business. Like many failed business, they have been sold and flipped through too many “investor” groups who have no long term interests and destroy businesses.

R34, thanks! I work in Hollywood and always looking for some new lunch places.

The Burger King original chicken sandwich (oblong bun) is very good, IMO. (McChicken is good as well, usually on the "value menu.")

I prefer BK French fries to McDonald's. They're a little bit thicker-cut.

Over all, though, I think I prefer McD's.

Such conni-sewers you all are! Gore-mondes, as it were.

I like BK's fries, too. They re-vamped them a couple of years ago and they're definitely better. McD's has that shamrock shake, though. Can't beat that.

Burger King fries are one of the worst around. McDonald's, Jack in the Box, In N out are much better!

Chick Fil A fries are so hit and miss. I’ve had them where they were unbelievably good and I’ve had them bland as hell.

Since Bk made their fries thicker, I don’t like them as much. But they are crunchy - which I like. Mcdonalds are better though. Hate Chick Fil A fries. FYI, They are flat potatoes not fries.

BK changes its fries like every 2 years and they always suck. McDonald’s fries are the best fries in the entire world.

McDonald's fries are the worst fries in the entire world, they taste of sugar and chemicals. Beyond vile.

R45, you need to improve your taste.

Whenever I order big macs, I have two, as one isn't filling enough

The Big Mac is tastier.

I gave up on Burger King. The menus always showcase and promote weird, unappealing combo crap and godawful treats. Their Whopper meat doesn't even taste like hamburger and the bun is sweet (yuck) so it's probably loaded with HFCS so no thank you. I'll eat a Big Mac 1-3 times per decade but I've always liked Quarter Pounders w/cheese.

I prefer Wendy's.

R47 Try a Double Quarter Pounder with Mac sauce, and dressed as a Big Mac. That'll fill you up! More flavour too. OP, I once liked BK a long time ago, but it has changed so much, it's not even discernible as the same burger.

The Big Mac is like chomping on a porttal to the 70s if I do say.

I like the Sourdough Jack.

Neither, they're both terrible!!!

It's comparing apples and oranges.

They're too different to compare.

I just had a spicy chicken combo at Wendy with $5 coupon, otherwise it would have cost $10, great deal!

I like a Big Mac better. I tried one without the bun and it wasn't too bad.

I wish the big Mac was bigger. It's too small.

They both feel like they've been pre-chewed by someone else when you are eating them.

R58, did you try the "Grand Mac" when that was available? IT was AWESOME.
