Criticism
This product was mentioned at the end of Super Size Me, along with McDonald's promoted healthy options.
"McDonald's joined right in, sponsoring events that showed how health-conscious they had become and creating premium salads. At the same time, however, they also masterminded one of their fattest sandwiches to date: The McGriddle, a pancake-wrapped creation that won my heart in Texas, but can pack as much fat as a Big Mac, and have more sugar than a pack of McDonaldland cookies." ---Morgan Spurlock, Super Size Me
