(Japanese follows. / 日本語は以下へ続く。)
McDonald's in the states laughed 2 new Big Mac related items early in January this year, and they're called Mac Jr. and Grand Mac.
To compare the size and taste, we bought all 3 sizes but without Big Mac Sauce because I hate mayonnaise; my husband got some sauce separately in a box container.
Receipt
* Medium size fries and drink were free with coupons.
From the left to the right, they're Mac Jr., Big Mac and Grand Mac.
It's quite messy so that I decided not to take the burgers out from the box, and I realized the heights of Big Mac and Grand Mac are about the same.
From the top.
From the front.
Mac Jr.
All the flavor, one less layer the Mac Jr. has a single layer of 100% sear-sizzled beef, one slice of melty American cheese served on a sesame seed bun with crisp lettuce, minced onions, tangy pickles and our iconic Big Mac Sauce.
As written in the description, Mac Jr. is Big Mac minus middle bun, a patty and lettuce.
I think it's suitable for when you're craving a burger with Big Mac Sauce but not hungry enough to eat a Big Mac.
Big Mac
The one, the only, the original. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
All the slices of bun had the same thickness and they're soft and moist, and wherever I bit into, I had all the crispy lettuce, onions and pickles.
With characteristic flat McDonald's patties and yellow American cheese, it sure tasted and had the texture of "the very Big Mac that we know." (But just without sauce.)
Grand Mac
The box says, "You're gonna need two hands" and I thought it'd be heavy though the height didn't differentiate from that of Big Mac.
Maybe because the box of Grand Mac had a mini message "you're gonna need two hands," a half of the burger was placed between a white paper.
There should have been 2 slices of cheese, but there's only one and it's disappointing.
The top and bottom buns were both dried, and the slice in the middle was crushed due to the weight of the patties and soggy from soaking up the water from lettuce.
I was hoping the bun would be tasty, however, they're so dry and not sweet but just large, and the patties weren't juicy despite of the size.
It's like a "sad taste burger with 60 cents more than a Big Mac."

左からマックジュニア、ビッグマック、グランドマック。
ぼろぼろと崩れるので箱から出さずに撮影した際、ビッグマックとグランドマックの
高さがほぼ同じだと気がついた。
上からみた様子。
正面から。
説明に記載されていた通り、マックジュニアはビッグマックから真ん中のバンズ、
パティ、レタスを引いたものだった。
ビッグマックを食べるほどお腹が空いていないけれど、ビッグマックソースでバーガーが
食べたいという時には良いのかもしれない。
ビッグマック
全てのバンズがほぼ同じ厚みでしっとりふわふわで、どこを食べてもシャキシャキの
レタスやタマネギ、ピクルスが出てきた。
マクドナルド特有の薄いパティと黄色いアメリカンチーズで「これぞビッグマック」と
いう味と食感だった。(ただし、ビッグマックソース抜き)
グランドマックは「両手が必要なほど大きい」と箱に書かれていたためか、バーガーの
半分が白い紙で挟まれていた。
チーズは2枚入っているはずだけれど、1枚しか入っていなかったのが残念。
上下のバンズはパサパサで、中央のスライスはパティの重さのためかグシャッと潰れて
いて、レタスの水分も含んで気持ちが悪かった。
バンズが美味しいことを期待していたのだけれど、乾燥して甘みもなく大きいだけで、
パティも大きいけれどジューシーさはなく、「ビッグマックに60セント追加した割には
がっかりな味」だった。
