Big Macs are getting smaller, and Carl’s Jr’s burgers are getting bigger! Because of that, they want you to try their Cali XL burger for free.
But it comes with a condition… You need to upload a receipt to the app or at CarlsJr.com/SadMacBuyBack for a McDonald’s Big Mac between January 1 and November 11, 2025, to get one starting on November 22nd
And once you try the Cali XL, which is double the meat of that other burger, you won’t mind spending $5.99 for one.
“People want a burger that’s actually worth it. Our new Cali XL has more meat, more flavor and more value,” said Paz Romero, vice president of brand at Carl’s Jr. “The ‘Sad Mac Buy Back’ is our way of letting guests try it for themselves by swapping disappointment for something better— no questions asked.”
Of course, there will be one question, “Do you want fries with that?”
