At a time when everything seems to be shrinking, McDonald’s is going big with its “most satiating” burger ever. The Big Arch weighs in at a whopping (but not Whopper) 14 ounces, nearly twice the size—and calories—of a Big Mac.
Available this week at the fast food chain's locations across Canada, the Big Arch is expected to sweep into the US soon, and will become a part of McDonald’s core menu available in all 42,000 stores worldwide. It will be the first core offering since Chicken McNuggets conquered the world in 1983.
Engineered in a test kitchen at McDonald’s corporate headquarters in Chicago, the Big Arch packs 1,030 calories across two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of processed white cheese, crispy onions, slivered onions, pickles, lettuce and a new tangy sauce served up in a sesame and poppy seed bun.
