Haha! I found this when I searched “have hamburger rolls gotten smaller?”
So, I think yes! They’re barely bigger than sliders now.

I also found info that fast food places have shrunk both the buns and what goes in them

Do you do it or does your personal chef?

I buy the sleeves of pre-made burgers at Costco. And, the potato buns (my families preference) also are Costco. The burgers are way bigger than the buns!

Wondering if anyone else feels this way? So now I but sandwich rolls which serves the purpose. Someone else in the market said this so it got me thinking......

And no I am not referring to the slider buns.

Yes the serm to have gotten smaller

I would not know. We mill our own flour and make our own brioche buns.

They were oversized to begin with, so maybe that's a good thing?

This. The mass production buns (Pepperidge farms, Aunt Millie’s,
Etc) are standard size. Problem is restaurants and take out burgers have gotten so much bigger. Not ordinary buns seem mini. Same as muffins. Muffins used to be the standard size you’d make at home with the regular papers. You would be hard pressed to find a muffin that small for sale in any bakery. People want big huge portions now

You have to upgrade and buy the good ones. They cost a lot more.

I did actually think that when my husband brought home takeout from shake shack the other day! It did seem like the burger was sticking out more than usual. We did have burgers from Ruthie’s yesterday and I didn’t notice any difference, though. I’m going to pay more attention now. I probably need more exciting things in my life because I’m excited to do some detective work here.

You can look at the label. Common weights for 8buns: 11, 12, 14, or 16oz.

Store brand are the smaller 11oz buns.
