Because they rather make it small so u will buy 1 more set?

Price of 1 more set > increase small price for for a bigger sized food

Because they can achieve the same target for increasing profit by decreasing the size of their burgers.

You might not have realized it, but their burgers have been getting smaller over the years. When further reduction of the bun size became too obvious, they reduced the size of the beef/fish/chicken patty, cheese slice etc.

Burger King same tactic. Last time Whooper was much bigger.



They will say never shrink, bun and patty same diameter all this while.

While proponents will anyhow show a pic with 2 different sized burgers side by side and use that as proof. But then you realize both burgers are freshly made. It's not like they stored 1 burger from 1990 inside time capsule and take out now to compare. So proving this way is not convincing.

However, pics from the same guy holding a big mac back in 1990 compared to now is more convincing:
