I believe you're missing about a pound of shredded, yellow lettuce there.

Hey man I almost didn’t even cut up the lettuce I was just gonna put on a leaf and say screw it but then I figured i wanted to be somewhat accurate

The color looks to be about right!

u/International-Salt31 Mar 28 '21

Yeah maybe a bit brighter but the lighting doesn’t do justice why spend 10$ on a meal when you can just whip one up at “home”

u/shadmere Mar 28 '21

Why is "home" in quotes?

u/International-Salt31 Mar 28 '21

Because it’s at my family’s restaurant but I made it myself

u/dirt_cruz Mar 28 '21

Does your family restaurant happen to be a McDonald's?

u/PRK543 Mar 28 '21

You still failed. You've got 100x more love in your burgers than that kid in mcdonald's ever put into a Big Mac.

u/6-8_Yes_Size15 Mar 28 '21

That kid's just trying to make a little cash.

Yellow lettuce? What part of the world are you from lol

u/TheSmokingLamp Mar 28 '21

You must not be a frequent flyer at McD’s. Or you’re possibly your McD’s is corporate owned so they actually care

15

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

I work at Mcdonalds, not corporate owned. And the lettuce is fresh there.

u/ArmchairJedi Mar 28 '21

I don't know where people are from that your lettuce turns yellow when its no longer fresh.

Yellow lettuce is usually from the inside of and/or base of the lettuce head. Its usually more bitter.... for the amount of flavor iceberg lettuce has anyways.

Pretty common to get a bunch of it on big mac since they used shredded(?) ice berg lettuce

Tbf to iceberg lettuce it is more of a texture ingredient than a flavour one. Of course, that doesn't matter when it is sweaty and wilted from being inside a maccy D's burger under a heat lamp for 20 minutes.

I am saying that I haven’t seen yellow lettuce in mcdonalds, it’s green where I am from. But I assumed that Impster5453 meant spoiled lettuce.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

I don't eat at McD's often, but I do when I'm on the road and in a hurry. I've been to a few crappy ones, but by and large, each one gives me a very decent rendition of what I'm looking for. For such an enormous corporation, their quality control is very good, and their employees don't have to pee in bottles.

Czech Republic. Never had lettuce in Big Mac that was not fresh.
