This year, McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese has been chastised for being too small. McDonald's burgers aren't the only ones that are too big.

Customers criticized the Golden Arches when a TikToker showed off her thin apple slice order. TikToker stated in a video that she receives an iced drink, large fries, and apple slices from McDonald's every day after work.

Her large order of fries looked more like a medium, and her apple slices from McDonald's felt "a little light" when she took them out. So why? The package included two apple slices.

She opened the package on film and selected two paltry slices to demonstrate that she wasn't "losing my mind." She called McDonald's "disrespectful" of the situation.

Other TikTokers were irritated by the small apple quantity, noting that containers used to contain six or seven slices. McDonald's "shrinkflation" was even advised.

"Shrinkflation exists. "Everything is getting smaller and costs are going up—it's absurd," one spectator observed. "We still pay full price and they give us half a product," said another.

It's possible that a manufacturing flaw caused this, but it appears to happen regularly. Other customers at McDonald's reported fewer apple slices per package.

"Had some last week exactly the same way," a customer wrote. "I recently got apples and had the same experience," remarked another. McDonald's did not respond right away.

Customers at McDonald's aren't only grumbling about reduced amounts. TikToker labeled the chain's prices for fries and hash browns "insane" in a late May video.

"I stopped going there when they started jacking up the prices....I'm done with McDonald's!" one TikToker exclaimed.
