Snacksters Big Stack burgers were spotted in Iceland‘s freezers and shared on the Snack Reviews Facebook Group.
And the likeness to Maccies has not gone unnoticed: “Hold up they are copying the Big Mac I love that” said one commenter.
Another called it the “mcbig stack” while many liked the sound of the £1.50 treat.
“Oh boy” said one user and another simply said “incredible”.
The packaging for Big Stack burgers appears to be not a million miles away from the cardboard cases used by McDonald’s for its Big Mac burgers.
The double burger comes with cheese and a sachet of burger sauce to put on top.

There’s also a Spicy Stack Burger which is a chicken burger with hash brown and cheese – it comes with spicy salsa too.
Both are frozen and can be cooked in the microwave.
One review of the Spicy Stack on Iceland’s website reads: “The real deal. Ready in 2 mins.”
Another reviewer said of the Big Stack: “Amazing product. Best micro burger in town.”
It hasn’t been a hit with everyone though. One reviewer said: “Tasteless bland horrible burger never again I know it’s only cheap but spend abit more and get another brand.”
Here’s how to cut the cost of your grocery shop
SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from Money.co.uk about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills:
- Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn’t on your list, don’t put it in the trolley
- Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping
- Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they’ll charge for chopping can be eye watering
- Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals
- Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains
- Check the small print – It’s always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you’re making a like for like decision as a bigger box won’t necessarily mean you get more
- Use your loyalty cards – Don’t be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards
The Big Stack, weighing in at 204g, costs £1.50 and the 186g Spicy Stack costs the same.
They are available in store and online – delivery is free on orders over £35, under this, there’s a £2 charge and your order has to be at least £25.
You can also shop in store and choose to get your groceries delivered on the same day for free, avoiding carrying them home yourself.
The real deal Big Mac from McDonald’s costs £3.29, or from £4.99 as part of a meal, though prices can vary depending on location.
