“Shrinkflation” continues to disappoint fast food fans everywhere. The latest complaints on Reddit come from disgruntled McDonald’s patrons being served sad breakfasts—and calling for a renamed menu item.
A post by user Ok-Advice2963 reads: “My ‘Big’ breakfast: McDonald’s should seriously remove the word ‘Big’ from their breakfast, this thing looks so sad,” complete with shows a tray with scrambled eggs, a tiny piece of steak, and a plain biscuit. Instead of a hearty, filling platter, customers say it looks like something straight out of a cafeteria line.

The reaction online to the meager McDonald’s breakfast been brutal. “Looks like jail food,” one commenter declared. Another compared it to “Fyre Fest food,” while someone else called it “just a pathetic deconstructed breakfast sandwich.” Some noted that it’s basically an unbuilt steak and egg biscuit, minus the cheese, likely at a higher price. “You should know by this point that ‘big’ or ‘large’ is fast food industry jargon for ‘small’ or ‘medium,'” one commenter observed.
