Whopper vs. Big Mac -- who wins?

It's almost as classic as the cola wars. Which flagship burger is better and why? I personally like them both, but they each have their perks. I want to know what you think.

Lets see:

Calories:
Big Mac 540
Whopper 670
winner: Mac Daddy

Total fat in grams:
Big Mac 29
Whopper 39
Mac wins again

Sodium mgs:
Big Mac 1040
Whopper 850
with a whopper you can get an extra order of fries!

Carbs:
Big Mac 45
Whopper 51
Mac's got it again.

Now we can utilize the well known but rarely calculated algorithm that states that the thing that's worst for you tastes the best, and the clear winner is the Whopper (with a side of salt.)

And I happen to agree with the math on this one.

This is sound, scientific proof right here. So since hot sauce contains a bunch of sodium, I think that adding hot sauce to a Whopper would officially make it the best!

except u didnt consider the size of the burgers themselves. otherwise u would have found that the whopper is healthier per ounce. and everyone knows that u would go up for more food after u eat a big mac, so therefore the big mac is smacked!

Big Mac, hands down.

Why?

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

Need I say more?

Whopper ... hands down.

Whatever they do with the meat is awesome. It's like the precursor to the ultimate burger -- Hardee's Thickburger.

Too bad their fries are light years behind MacDonald's, though. In fact, it's the fries that generally lead me to choosing McD's over BK.

Yes, the Fry wars should be explored. McDonald's is still in the top spot to me. Carls Jr. was creeping up until they changed their fries.

The BK fry change was indeed official, but it happened way back in the '90s sometime. I only recently tried Carls Jr. fries, but I don't really like them too much. I also recently became a fan of Jack in the Box fries, too, especially the seasoned curleys. Mmmmmm...

Funny, a while back I'd agree with you, but ever since Burger King changed their fries to the crispier variety (it's been a WHILE now, but it still seems pretty recent to me) I've actually liked theirs better than McD's!

Hmmm ..... that was some official change?

I just thought it was just a freak accident that I happened to be getting some pretty decent fries. I can count the number of times I've gone to BK on one hand in the last few years though.

Ooops. Forgot to put why.....

I like the taste of the char. It adds character. The Big Mac's dressing is really not very good to me. I think the BM is Mickey D's worst menu item. I usually get the Whopper without onions and ketchup, but that is just because I hate to burp up onions for the rest of the night. And I might be called something for saying so, but I'm not a fan of the ketchup + mayonnaise "dippin' sauce" craze. :-)

It's like PC vs. Mac... They BOTH have their strong and weak points...

I ALWAYS know that a Big Mac is going to be the same... If I'm in New York, Paris or Japan. They are all prepared the same way.

Whopper... Char-broiled.. Mmmm... Pretty basic which is great for me.

It's a draw for me... and I own both a PC and a Mac, so don't ask.

Whopper, the charbroiled-ness, though shammy, has a taste edge. The Whopper is way bigger than the Big Mac and you can get it how you want for crying out loud. Whopper has the big meat and Big Mac has two cookie sized patties for their meat. It's just not cool. However, when McDonald's starts giving them away for free and having all kinds of crazy promotions like that going on, you gotta go with the Big Mac. When I was in middle school, you could practically win a free Big Mac everyday! "Free" trumps but for now, Whopper.

I agree that the Whopper is more unhealthily-satisfying as far as portions go. I'm always stuffed after I finish one, whereas the Big Mac I always feel like I could have more. I wonder if it's my imagination, I'm going to compare calories...
