But are those really the best that the fast-food giant has to offer?

It cost $2.19.

The inside of the bread did have a nice visible toasted quality to it, though.

The taste:This option fell really flat to me in a couple of ways.

Whatever the reason, the regular cheeseburger was evidently suffering from these issues.

The additional patty threw everything out of balance.

The look:I appreciated how neat the McDouble looked and the extra height from the second burger patty.

Still, without extras like fresh lettuce and tomato, it did come off a little boring.

The taste:What’s the difference between a McDouble and a Double Cheeseburger?

I do prefer the Double Cheeseburger to the McDouble just because I want that extra slice of cheese.

That being said, the two were practically indistinguishable, and I thought the McDouble was really solid.

It cost $2.99.

The taste:Some people may tell you that even bad bacon is good bacon, and I disagree.

It cost $6.29.

The whole sandwich was bigger and in pristine condition thanks to its sturdier packaging.

Still, it was all neatly-arranged and well-contained, if not a little wet.

The taste:This burger had so much potential, and it missed the mark.

I generally like mayo on a burger, but soupy globs of the stuff turn my stomach.

The taste:Do I need the extra beef patty?

Did I still enjoy the extra thick bite of meat and cheese from the burger?

I almost felt guilty ruining the masterpiece.

This hefty burger was certainly one of the best-tasting options of the night.

The look:As impressive as the Double Bacon Quarter Pounder looked, the deluxe version was iffy.

I immediately noticed another unreasonably big glob of mayo already seeping out the side.

The lettuce and tomato were also messily-placed and falling off the sandwich.

The taste:The deluxe take on the Double Quarter Pounder was another case study of a missed opportunity.

It cost $6.19.

The sandwich was undoubtedly the biggest out of all the ones I’d tried.

The taste:The Big Mac is iconic for a reason.

However, one thing it’s in desperate need of is balance.
