Have you ever thought McDonald's Big Mac was too small or too big? Soon you'll be able to order the size that's just right.

The fast food chain [announced Thursday](http://news.mcdonalds.com/US/news-stories/McDonald-s-USA-to-Introduce-Two-New-Burgers-Inspir) that it plans to introduce two new sizes to his most famous menu offering: the Grand Mac and the Mac Jr. The menu change will start in early 2017 and will be a limited-time offer to reignite interest in the nearly 50-year old Big Mac.

The Grand Mac has two beef patties and two slices of cheeses, and weighs a third of a pound. The Mac Jr. has one regular beef patty.

The company tested the new offerings in Columbus, Ohio and Dallas, where the Mac Jr. cost between $2.39 to $2.59; the Grand Mac was $4.89, according to [industry news sources](http://burgerbusiness.com/mcdonalds-adding-mac-jr-grand-mac/).

McDonald's rarely tweaks with its iconic burger, but it has made a lot of other changes to its offerings recently in hopes of turning around declining sales, including experimenting with made-to-order burgers and introducing all-day breakfast.
