McDonald’s sells more than half a billion Big Macs in the United States each year. A common upgrade is to request Quarter Pounder patties to make the sandwich beefier and more filling. A standard Big Mac uses patties that are one-tenth of a pound each, while Quarter Pounder patties add substantially more beef. Some customers report that the ordering system does not support a simple patty swap and that not all employees know how to process it. Attempts may be escalated to a manager and can be denied. Alternative approaches include ordering a Big Mac with no meat and adding Quarter Pounder patties separately, or ordering a Double Quarter Pounder with limited toppings and assembling the burger with Mac sauce. Costs may increase depending on the method and location.
"A normal Big Mac is served with patties that are one-tenth of a pound each. Switching them for Quarter Pounder patties is quite a boost and makes for a much more filling sandwich. Unfortunately, Reddit users say it's not always that easy. The McDonald's computer system doesn't have a simple way to make the swap, and not every employee may know how to handle it."
"You can try ordering a Big Mac with Quarter Pounder patties and see if your local McDonald's will do it. Sometimes it gets kicked up to a manager for them to make the call, and people on Reddit have reported being turned down. Others suggest a fairly elaborate process of ordering a Big Mac, requesting no meat, then ordering Quarter Pounder patties a la carte."
"Another suggestion is to order a Double Quarter Pounder with just lettuce, pickles, and onions, plus a side of Mac sauce if you can get it. From there, you can build the burger yourself. Getting Quarter Pounder patties on your Big Mac can be an uphill battle. The end result will be a half pound of beef, compared to a fifth of a pound in a normal Big Mac."
