This Is Hands Down The Worst Burger You Can Order At McDonald's
Before any judgement was cast, each burger was split down the middle and had a hearty bite taken out of it. It was promptly decided that the wimpy patty and unimpressive toppings of the basic hamburger make it the worst sandwich McDonald's has on offer. Differing from the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, which features a fresh beef patty (which many say produces a tastier burger), the hamburger's patty is frozen and significantly smaller. Lots of folks call the classic burger patties bland and tasteless, and it seems to be designed that way, as the only seasoning added is a touch of salt and pepper. Without the addition of a slice of cheese, it's also noticeably dryer than its siblings. The smattering of ketchup, diced onion, and pickle also does little to improve the sad situation. All around, it's an entirely unremarkable burger.

The Basic Hamburger Is Just Too Darn Small! Or Is It Too Expensive?
Aside from the lack of flavor, one of the biggest complaints about the basic McDonald's hamburger comes down to size. To be fair, it is the exact same burger stuffed inside a kid's Happy Meal, so it can't exactly be expected to satiate most adult appetites. Still, the patty is supremely thin and significantly smaller than the bun. This leads to an absolutely pitiful meat-to-bread ratio, unimproved by any yummy sauce or gooey cheese.
As a matter of fact, its sheer tininess has led some people on Reddit to claim it has actually gotten smaller over the years. Others figure the burger has remained the same size, but the price has drastically changed — which doesn't give customers the sense that they're getting a good value. (In case you missed it, the same McDonald's hamburger that can now cost more than $3 once sold for just 15 cents in 1955.) If you're looking for a McDonald's burger that satisfies in terms of size, texture, flavor, toppings, and value, you can't beat the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

David Bromstad Sheds Light On The Sleek Flooring Choice You Might Come To Regret
HGTV's David Bromstad is all about color, and not just from his early days on "Color Splash," where he helped people renovate their home with fun shades. From his trendy outfits, to his jewelry, and even his own home, he loves a pop of color to make a space feel unique and interesting. Bromstad always knows which design trends are in and out, staying updated on styles that people are loving and which ones they aren't. While there is one trend in the flooring sector that people love, Bromstad surprisingly argues against it if you're not willing to put in the work -- black floors. Darker flooring choices and molding bring a sleek, elegant touch to any room with a contrast to the typical white molding and lighter wood floors you see in older homes. As the times and styles change, people have been moving towards the darker choices with black floors for something different, thinking the darker shades will be easier to clean. However, Bromstad advises against this through his own experience installing black flooring in his home. Read more: Home Upgrades That Are A Waste Of Money, According To HGTV's Mike Holmes Black Floors Are Harder To Maintain While the original idea that black floors will hide dirt, dust, and grime better than a light-color option, it sadly isn't true in real life, which David Bromstad learned firsthand. In an interview with HGTV, Bromstad said, "I put black floors in my house and, honey, I'll never make that mistake again! They show every footprint, paw print, and piece of lint." He goes on to say that "black may be neutral, but it's actually the toughest color to take care of" because you'll constantly be touching up scuff marks and cleaning off dust. Though there are fast ways to fix scuffed paint in your home, Bromstad recommends opting for a lighter color if you're not set on black for your floors. As for one of Bromstad's preferred flooring options, he loves a weathered-finish hardwood floor, preferably not black. Not only does it brighten up the room, but it's also a hardwood style that makes the space feel so much bigger. Dark colors on flooring tends to define the space too much sometimes, whereas light colors can help to open it up and blend rooms together for a more cohesive feel. According to Bromstad, warm-toned hardwood floors can also make a room feel warm, cozy, and soft, instead of the sleek, modern feel of black floors. Enjoyed this article?

What to know about the Titan sub and its tragic final dive to the Titanic
The Titan submersible was crushed by intense water pressure beneath the North Atlantic Ocean in the summer of 2023. A catastrophic implosion instantly killed the four passengers and pilot, Stockton Rush , who was also the CEO of the company that owned the vessel. Two years later, the U.S. Coast Guard released a lengthy report saying the disaster could have been prevented, but deeply flawed safety procedures and efforts to avoid oversight had effectively doomed the vessel and all aboard.
