There's already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.

The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.

I know it's all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe... And now I can't stand them but at least I'm losing weight so that's good haha
