Yeah, it seems to me that's the only one they're advertising as fresh,
never frozen. I hear these ads in the background but I mostly tune them
out. I don't actually care since I don't eat at McDonald's. I did
wonder if there was a price increase because suddenly they're doing
something surprising like cooking fresh to order.

Heck, they did that even when they were using the frozen burgers. As a
kid and as a teen, any time we went to McD's I ordered a plain hamburger
or a plain cheeseburger. That meant it couldn't be something already
wrapped and sitting under a heat lamp, pre-dressed with pickles and
whatever) Order "plain" and they slapped a new (albeit frozen) pattie
on the grill/griddle. A slice of cheese, a toasted bun. I learned a
long time ago my pickiness about condiments and pre-dressed burgers gets
me one that is cooked when I order it. What a novel concept!

I do wonder if McD's is charging more for this not previously frozen
version.
