    I don't know what you mean. As far as I know, they rate their burger size as legally required--by weight of the un-cooked beef. The beef does shrink a bit and lose some weight via cooking, like any meat.

    What's more important is:

    How come McDonald's (TM) is allowed to sell burgers waaay beyond advertised dimension?

    I've never seen an add for anything other than two dimensional burgers, yet, when I pull away from the drive through while texting, what do I find in the bag but 3D burgers! Son of a... Not even a picture of a burger. The closest thing to two dimensional is the wrappers and then... who am I really kidding?

    Truth in advertizing left our society a long time ago.
    The claims made by vendors and manufacturers involving what their product is capable of in today's marketplace is borderline criminal. It would be criminal but for the lack of laws
    addressing the situation.
    A good question might be "what is the most bazzar or rediculour claim you ever heard made a bout a product or service.

    Fast food corporations have a truckload of lawyers to tell them just how close they can come to the edge of stuff like that without going past it to any dangerous degree, I would think.
