The McDonald’s Big Mac is so iconic, we’d bet that you can sing the jingle with us: “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun.” It might be time to update that jingle, though. The fast-food giant just brought two new sizes into the Big Mac family!
Let us introduce you to the Double Big Mac and the Little Mac.
What Are the New Big Macs?
Depending on how hungry you are, the two all-beef patties in the original Big Mac may be too much, or too little, to satisfy your craving. Luckily, McDonald’s has appetites of all sizes covered with two new menu items. Now you can choose from an original Big Mac, a Double Big Mac or a Little Mac.
The Double Big Mac is double the fun. When one Big Mac just isn’t enough, upgrade your order to this super-sized option with four patties sandwiched between three buns, with all the special sauce and toppings you know and love. The Little Mac comes with one pure beef patty and just the right amount of special sauce and toppings.

When Will Big Macs Be Supersized?
The Little Mac and Double Big Mac are available nationwide beginning March 11, for a limited time. The Double Big Mac costs $5.49, the Little Mac costs $2.29 and of course, the original Big Mac costs $3.39.
While there are plenty of classics, McDonald’s has made lots of menu changes over the years. Here’s a look at the first McDonald’s menu ever.

A crispy coating mix is the secret ingredient that dresses up these baked burgers. You bake them in the oven instead of grilling or frying. I like to use a sweet and spicy steak sauce for the best flavor. This is how to cook burgers in the oven. —Mike Goldman, Arden Hills, Minnesota
