A standard burger comes with tomatoes and lettuce. We’re not talking about specific picks from a fast food menu.

  > A standard burger comes with tomatoes and lettuce. I don't think that's been true for at least 10 years. Fresh veg costs and is considered a premium topping for higher end fast food options and as an addon generally. You can expect it standard on a restaurant burger or a premium quick service place, but not standard for normal fast food and certainly not McDonalds. Even at more upmarket and expensive fast food like Chick-fil-A, lettuce and tomato is not standard but rather a "Deluxe" option that comes with an increase in base cost. Source: born poor, have worked at fast food food and eaten quite a bit of it.

    In-N-Out still has nice veggies with their overall quality basically frozen in time, but IMO all of these prices pale in comparison to Costco's $5 rotisserie chicken. So a $5 McDonalds meal? Not cheap even if there's a coupon for 50% off.

  > We’re not talking about specific picks from a fast food menu We're talking about McDonalds right? Allowing for regional differences, I would say that there are four "standard" burgers, the hamburger, cheeseburger, Big Mac, and quarter pounder. Of those only the Big Mac comes with tomatoes and lettuce

    The article is about McDonalds. The GP’s tone sounded like it was about burgers in general which is what I’m responding to.

  Can you expand upon the nutritional content of a tomato slice and leaf of lettuce?

    People think that a slice of tomato will keep them healthy

  Standard? When a person walks into a McDonald's and orders a hamburger, it comes with dehydrated onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup. And I'm not saying that this is a good thing, or that it is a bad thing. What I'm saying is that here in-context where we participate in a discussion that is rooted upon an article about McDonald's, that's the standard.
