‘I was a McDonald’s chef - I know why customers think burgers are smaller’

A chef has addressed online speculation that McDonald’s burgers are allegedly getting smaller.

It comes after the fast food chain, and Wendy’s, defeated a lawsuit accusing them of exaggerating the size of their burgers.

Mike Haracz, a former McDonald’s corporate chef, posted a TikTok speaking about customer theories over the size of the popular menu item.
