In a plot twist nobody saw coming (except inflation, apparently), McDonald’s in China has allegedly shrunk their burgers down to elegant, bite-sized jewelry status—perfect for pairing with your afternoon macaron and existential dread. Social media is exploding with photos of patties so petite they could moonlight as appetizers at a dollhouse tea party, sparking cries of “shrinkflation!” louder than a toddler denied nuggets. McDonald’s swears it’s just an optical illusion (sure, Jan), while everyone else is measuring their double cheeseburgers with rulers and tears. Welcome to 2026: where your Big Mac is now fun-sized and your wallet is still full-sized empty.
