That's how you know that Americans hate even their own imperial system. As an American myself, I gotta ask, is it the weight of a Cheeseburger or the Big Mac?

Roughly 1/800th of a deer.

A Big Mac is ~250g, a cheeseburger ~120g.

An American male mule deer is 95 - 150kg.

So to answer your question, they're using something closer in size to the cheeseburger and not the Big Mac, as 800 Big Macs is about ~190kg whereas 800 cheezburgers is about 96kg.
