The quarter pound version seem to be a slightly more health conscious option offering the same toppings and condiments but with the whole grain bakery-style bun that is now used on McDonald's Premium Chicken Sandwiches.
Whether or not the test ends up becoming a permanent roll out remains to be seen, but the smaller Angus Burger seems to fit in well with their Premium Chicken sandwich changes of last year.
I was curious if there would be a price difference between the 1/3# version and the 1/4# version so I checked. The 1/4# one is 30 cents cheaper.
ReplyDelete$4.49 for the 1/3# at Wauseon, Ohio as of last weekend.
$4.19 for the 1/4# at Napoleon, Ohio today.
The Napoleon McDonalds is back to the 1/3# version. I asked a member of management at the store if the 1/4# sandwich was just a test and she said yes.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the price remains $4.19 at Napoleon despite going back to the larger size.
