Sheryl,

McDonald's get basically three types of buns from their bakeries:
regular bun, quarter bun, and Big Mac bun. The Big Mac bun is a single
bun, sliced twice, to create the three parts. They are taller than the
other buns.

And then, of course, there are special buns for any special sandwich
that requires one, like the McRib.
