Questionmarktarius 08/30/23 12:33:23 PM #25:	ragnarokius posted... I feel like whoppers used to be bigger. Probably changed sometime a couple years ago, when BK stopped adding fillers and other mystery ingredients. A good chunk of a burger's mass is fat and water (roughly 25-40%), which is just going to melt away and evaporate when its cooked, and the fillers were there to mitigate that. That's why "pre-cooked weight" is specifically listed in the advertising. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:975752054] in Should Bur...
