Full-size food is fine and all, but miniature things are almost always better.
They’re just more fun!
Take a slider, for example.

The typicalfast-food mini burgeris about a third of the size of a standard hamburger (give or take).
They’re bite-size and easier to eat than traditional burgers.
What’s not to love about something that’s easy to eat?

Various alternate explanations for the term have floated around the internet over the years.
I recently bought four brands of frozen sliders from local grocery stores to find out which was the best.
This box cost me $4.49 at my local store.

The look:The slider is pretty thick, and the bread appeared fluffy.
The nuked taste was overpowering here.
The burger sauce was also just not pleasant.

It just doesn’t quite mesh well.
And to top it all off, the inside of the burger bun was soggy.
The look:Thin.

these looked exactly like what you’d pull out of the cardboard sleeves at White Castle.
One of the selections is an angus slider, which is a hearty little nibble.
I bought this box of sliders at my local Stop & Shop for $7.99.
The look:These were definitely the best looking burgers of the bunch.
They looked like the real minis rather than some sad thin excuse for what a mini burger should be.
Plus, the onion pieces were massive.
The taste:Proof that microwaved beef doesn’t have to taste microwaved.
These actually looked like perfect little burgers.
Not only was the texture perfect, but the taste was super fresh.
The burger itself tasted fresh and well seasoned.
