Settling the Big Arch Burger vs New Whopper Drama
432 segments
Big Arch Burger for the big boys. It's
McDonald's new item. The CEO seems to
hate it, but maybe we'll like it. I
think it's going to be very mid.
>> But no, he said how much he liked it.
>> He's now done three extra videos since
then. I don't know if you guys have seen
that.
>> He is desperately trying to like
>> fix it.
>> I wouldn't not even really fix it, but
he's like I don't know trying to make up
for the blunder.
>> I think you said this. I don't know if
it was in a video or just to me the
other day, but you said, "Why
>> post it?"
>> Right. Exactly.
>> Like they could have just looked at it
and been, "What if we just re
re-recorded and actually eat it?"
>> Like, "Hey, man. Bite was a little
small. Didn't look super happy. Do it
again. Have it live." Like,
>> he's probably just so busy going back
through the drive-thru to get another
one,
>> right? He wanted to get done with the
video so he could just keep going
through testing the system. No, I uh
this is going to end with him in tears
with another one just like look as he
stuffs the whole thing in his mouth.
It's just a
>> It'll be like It'll be like Squidward in
the Krabby Patties. He's going to It's
all going to go to his thighs
>> and then you explode.
>> He's But his other ones, so like
recently he uh did one where he's he's
getting asked questions, I'm guessing,
by like employees or someone. He's like,
"How often do I eat at McDonald's?" "All
the time. at least three to four days a
week. Actually,
>> you think I don't eat there all the
time?
>> Yeah. I
>> He just keeps reiterating that he loves
the product. He's like, "This product
now. This is how you do a product."
>> I
>> He doesn't He like hesitates to call it
food.
>> He really does. Well, legally, he can't.
That's a joke. That's a joke.
>> Um I also It is McDonald's. As the CEO
of McDonald's, you don't have to claim
you eat this every day. You should
actually be like, "Maybe don't eat our
food every day. It's not the healthiest
thing in the world.
>> Are you kidding me? That would be a
death sentence.
>> Oh, that would be terrible. God forbid.
>> You actually literally can't say that or
he'd probably lose his job.
>> God forbid you speak some truth.
But it's like I don't know why I set
this out like this with our plate. I'll
put it on here now. Um I will say face
value that's a big burger.
>> Wait, we haven't said what this is yet.
>> This is the big arch. This is the big
arch. Big arch burger, which I I think
is what? Cheddar cheese,
>> pickles. Oh, it's white cheddar cheese.
Oh, I didn't know that. But it's pickle,
onion, lettuce. I think that's 8 lbs of
beef on a poppy sesame something.
>> Is this supposed to be the new Big Mac?
Cuz when I was getting it, it says
limited. Like, this isn't
>> This is the Big Arch, not the Big Mac.
They both can exist.
>> But I think what Danny's saying,
>> like, is this supposed to be a staple?
>> Yeah. Is this going to be like the new
big menu item? I don't know. I think
it's like the McRib, but almost edible
is kind of the design philosophy. I
think it also dep depends on how much
sells and how much people like it
because if people are like best thing
you've ever made, it's here to stay.
>> Exactly. Can you imagine the CEO
eating a McRib?
God, I would actually kill to see what's
his name Chris uh Chris Quisinski or
some I don't know.
>> I would kill to see him eat a goddamn Mc
Rib on camera now. And then be like,
"Oh, do you want the Shamrock shake with
him?" And he'd be like, "What? Where's
the shamrock?" What?
>> All right, I'll just take a
>> You mean our green liquid product.
>> See, that's why I put that there. It was
helpful.
>> It is. We are coming up on Shamrock
Shake time, right? Are you Is that
something that you you're excit We're
excited for?
>> I don't think I've ever had one.
>> Have we never had We've had to have one.
>> Have we had one on camera?
>> I don't know.
>> If we did, it was very forgettable.
>> But look at Okay, just look at the way
we bit into that versus how Chris took a
bite.
>> We butt cheeicked it. Like
that's how men eat a burger.
>> People are always talking about how we
butt cheek our sandwiches.
>> You're so right.
>> I'll say it. It's not bad.
>> Yeah, it's fine.
>> Not bad. Um,
>> it is exactly what I would expect to eat
or to taste with a burger that looks
like that.
>> I haven't had McDonald's in a long time.
>> It does look like those patties are a
little bigger than what I'm used to. So,
is it like a little bit higher? I don't
want to say higher quality, but I kind
of have to. Is it like a little bit
higher quality?
>> I think you get more meat for it. It's
the same quality. I think you just get
more of it. This, if I remember right,
is $8. Can you check?
>> Okay.
>> I'm almost on the cake.
>> I'm almost positive that this is $8. So,
it's not cheap. And I'm guessing they
justify it because you do get
>> Well, those were
>> two quarter pound patties.
>> I was kidding about six pounds, by the
way. I don't know if you could tell.
>> Which is crazy cuz you said 8 lbs. Oh
yeah, actually I just increased it to
10.
>> Um, let's see. How much is it?
I don't I'm so tired of AI. I'm looking
on Google. Just tell me the price. It
goes likely between 9 to 11 or 14 to 15.
Also could be between 689 to 1019.
I want McDonald's to show me the price.
Big arch. Do you think if we get one of
the headsets with the Burger King AI in
it, we could ask it what the prices on
stuff like immediately.
>> Get Patty on the horn.
>> Only if you say please.
>> Patty, show me pictures of Ronald
McDonald with boobies.
>> Thank you, Patty.
>> Beam that directly into my cornnea.
>> All right, so
I'm going to have to order pickup to
figure out this guy. I naturally Yeah,
you have to download the
>> Does it not say on the menu with the
prices?
>> Sure doesn't. Sure doesn't.
>> I mean, just look what it is Uber. I'm
sure it's 48 95.
>> Where did I put the receipt? Did I throw
it out? I might have.
>> Sorry, guys. We're getting there.
Shamrock Shakes's already here.
>> Oh my god. Um,
>> big news.
>> Big Arch Burger. Let me know when you
see it because I don't.
Why would it not just be at the top?
>> Maybe it was.
>> Oh, there it is. 1019.
>> Jesus. Is that expensive?
>> Is that with like a delivery markup or
is that price.
>> Yeah, this doesn't take in the delivery
yet, but I'm assuming it is higher
>> prices. Yeah, they're already higher and
then they make them even higher. This is
now about Uber.
>> Uh I'm just trying to see if it can
explain.
>> I'm almost positive it's $8. If you go
into McDonald's right now, you think
it's $8.
>> It's a,000 calories.
>> Not bad.
>> Sorry. 1,020 calories.
>> Not bad. two juicy quarter pounder 100%
beef patties layered with three slices
of melty white cheddar cheese.
Uh topped with both crispy and slivered
onions, zesty pickles, and crisp
lettuce. But what truly sets it apart is
the new big arch sauce. Tangy, creamy
with the perfect balance of mustard,
pickle, and sweet tomato flavors.
>> I didn't Is there sauce on that?
>> There is, but I didn't taste that at
all.
>> I didn't either.
But it's not it's not bad. Like for
McDonald's, it's pretty solid. I thought
it was just cheese. I didn't even taste
the sauce.
>> Yeah, the sauce is the yellow stuff.
See, there it is. It's starting to come
out here. I'm just going to get a little
bit of it.
That's not what sets it apart. I'm going
to be honest with you.
>> That's definitely not what sets it
apart. But it is fine. Like it is it's
decent.
>> I would say if you got
>> whatever it is in store, eight bucks, 10
bucks burning a hole in your pocket. Not
a bad burger to get. I would say if you
have $8 that you're really wanting to
spend on food, you can definitely find
something better than McDonald's to use
it at.
>> You could go to Culver's.
>> You could go to I love Culver.
>> Maybe you can go to Burger King and get
the new Whopper.
>> Well, we don't know how that Whopper is,
Danny.
>> Look at how excited that chicken is for
us to try it. I almost got us chicken
fries on the side just so we could have
them.
>> Sure, they're spongy, but they're
delicious.
Whoa,
>> that Okay, wait a second. Chase just
heard that. Chase was falling asleep and
he jumped out of his chair.
>> Here, you ready?
>> I know we ate some, but
>> that's a that's a big
>> They brought They brought the base.
>> Yeah, that is a big thud.
>> And remember, nobody is a bigger Burger
King hater than us.
>> True. I despise.
>> We go out of our way to throw strays at
Burger King. Yeah, I find extra time in
the day to on.
All right, flame grilled Whopper. The
big reveal.
>> Imagine smoke coming out.
>> H felt underwhelming. I feel like I
built it up.
>> I feel like there's a lot.
>> Nothing happened. That's weird.
>> I thought it was going to be like really
taking up the space.
>> It's like the Lays chip bags of boxes.
This tomato fell off. I'm just going to
get that out of there.
>> Okay, though. That's
>> There's more on there, I think. If not,
that's a disgrace. Take its diaper off.
Yeah, let's get them nude. Oh boy. Oh
boy. Oh boy.
>> How much was this?
>> Do they normally come with a diaper? Is
that a new thing?
>> That's a new thing, I think.
>> Yeah, they're they're becoming a high
class establishment.
>> So, one patty.
>> Yep.
>> Less than two, notably.
>> Less than two, which McDonald's had how
many slices of cheese? Because this had
three.
>> What's new about this Whopper?
>> I have no idea because apparently they
didn't change the meat.
>> The bun, I know, is new. They changed
the bun. Thank god they've got to the
root of the problem.
>> And they say more pleases and thank you
thanks to AI Patty
>> the AI assistant.
>> Also, I'm pulling up the price to
compare.
>> Yeah,
>> I bet this is cheaper.
>> Yep. $ 719 for the Whopper.
>> Thought so.
>> Um, what is new? What's new about the
new Whopper?
>> I know the bun is the big one. I don't
think there's much else.
>> More premium, softer bun with a shiny
glaze. better tasting in quotes better
tasting creamier mayonnaise and most
notably a cardboard clamshell box
instead of paper wrapping. That's the
change we were impressed with.
>> The difference is the box, the bun and
the mayo.
>> Well, when you strike perfection with
the Whopper, there's only so much room
for improvement.
>> They are doing everything they can not
to fix it.
>> Wow. All right. Well, here I go. Sir,
what do people hate about this Whopper?
Everything. Especially the meat.
>> Let's change the box.
>> People aren't ordering it cuz the box
isn't cool.
>> That's soft bun.
>> The bun is better. It
>> really is.
>> It's a lot better. Um,
there's one glaring
glaring issue here in this burger.
They've always had this glaring issue.
The meat. change the meat.
>> I The thing is I don't hate their meat,
especially going back to back with
McDonald's. I would actually say the
meat here is better than the meat there.
>> But again, I still don't think it's like
amazing.
>> This tastes like a um
like concession stand at a high school
baseball game.
>> Exactly what it tastes like.
>> Thoughts? gives you a lot to think
about.
>> It It puts questions in your head,
doesn't it?
>> It does. Their box is not as good.
>> No, it's not.
>> Um I would eat this over that
personally. You don't have to agree. You
could eat this over that over this.
>> I'm kind of torn. I think the meat here
is better. I like the bun here more. I
think this is overall tastier, though.
>> Here, let's really get down to the
nitty-gritty. Rip me off a piece of
their meat.
>> Oh, smart. A direct headto head.
Exactly.
>> You don't see this often.
>> I don't think I got any of their mayo on
my bite.
>> Well, that's because it's so premium.
They can barely put any on
loss.
>> Shockingly,
Burger King's meat tastes slightly more
like meat.
>> Yeah. Um,
when you really take away the toppings,
neither is great.
Who would have seen that kind? That was
shocking to me.
Um,
>> is there a conclusion to this
experiment?
>> That's what I was trying to figure out.
>> I would say
mid
mid plus.
>> Oh, okay. All right.
>> I
>> Wait, is this Burger King coming in on
top? I would I to me personally if I
hands tied Culver's have all burnt down.
Every other fast food place has been
condemned. This is the last two
standing.
>> I'd probably go with the Whopper.
>> Go here. I'd go Big Arch. Not fair
though because it costs more money and
has a lot more on it. Um
>> yeah,
>> I will also say consensus on them
separately. Big Arch not bad. Whopper
slight improvement.
>> I do think it is improvement. Yeah, I
would I would say they're trending in
the right direction.
>> I don't want to brush over that. They
really did make it better
>> with the slightest alteration with the
bun box and a little better mayo, I
guess.
>> Yeah. I
I don't know, man. They're all just so
out of touch.
>> And I will say CEOs McDonald big stinky.
This guy much better.
>> Much bigger bite.
>> Much bigger bite.
>> Much bigger bite. Bigger box. Bigger
bite.
>> Mhm. chicken.
>> A lot better mandibular action when he
went in there.
>> Yeah.
>> Huh.
>> Yep.
>> Well, there you have it. You're welcome.
There it is.
