The Big Mac was created by Jim Delligatti, one of Ray Kroc's earliest franchisees, who was operating several restaurants in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.[10] It was designed to compete with the similar Big Boy. Customer response to the Big Mac was so good that it rolled-out nationally in 1968.[11] One of its most distinctive feature is a middle slice of bread ("club" layer) used to stabilize contents and prevent spillage. The Big Mac is known worldwide and is often used as a symbol of American capitalism. The Economist has used it as a reference point to determine the cost of living in different countries - the Big Mac Index - since it is so widely available and is comparable across markets. This index is sometimes referred to as Burgernomics.[12]
July 1976. I was working at McDonalds in NY and had to help my boss because they were telling people if you can say two-all-beef-patties..you know the rest. in 10 seconds or less you would get a free one. I saw in the Parade magazine today that some guy has hit the record for the most Big Mac's. He says he started eating them in 1972. NOT POSSIBLE! They weren't out then. Another media story that is unchecked. === The Big Mac didn't debut until 1967, at McDonald's restaurants in Uniontown, Pa.
The 1974 jingle, "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun" became one of those commercials people can't get out of their heads.
1967 in Pittsburgh
More than 50 years ago, Pittsburgh businessman Jim Delligatti opened the first McDonald's franchise in the region. For years, he lost customers to the local Big Boy's restaurant, which offered its Big Boy burger, two patties on a special bun with Thousand Island dressing. In 1967, Delligatti created the Big Attraction-two Hamburgers on a specially cut bun with a secret sauce. A year later, the McDonald's Corporation released the burger nationwide and it has remained popular ever since. A 1975 ad campaign helped the world remember the Big Mac and its ingredients: "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun."
