News for fans of McDonald’s double cheeseburger: The $1 sandwich (pictured at right), the chain’s most popular, has been replaced by the new McDouble.

The McDouble is essentially the same two-patty sandwich, but with one slice of cheese instead of two.

On Monday, franchisees reportedly were given the option of raising the price of double cheeseburgers to $1.19 or substituting the new sandwich at the $1 price.

I checked McDonald’s in Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler on Tuesday, and all had eliminated the double cheeseburger in favor of the McDouble.
