Economists actually use an analytical tool they call the "Big Mac Index," which compares purchasing power parity across nations. So, in a sense, it already is "money."
I remember the Big Mac being sloppily delicious back in the day. I had one a couple of years ago for the first time in forever and it was dry, tiny, and flavorless.
Stopped fast food for a year and now my body doesnt like it. Ive tried eating it again and i get hella nasious and sick af from it. People need to start cooking again. Fast food doesnt mean good food.
@@candiceruth10 I cook 5 days a week. Not as bad as it sounds and unfortunitly a necessity, anything quick nowdays like fast food comes a price. The lower cost u pay for the food, is a higher cost on your body and health. Far as cooking at home, Crockpot goes a long way for anyone, especially if you live solo or have kids n such. Easy and way better than filling the body with garbage.
Badabababa, I'm lovin it...I need Mickey D's here in my nation. I so want a Big Mac and some McKimchi. Fun fact, kimchi is named after me because I invented it. Just like the hamburger
You can go to Big Boy restaurants or one of their affiliates and enjoy the same sandwich which BIG BOY INVENTED in 1936! It is a rip off from Big Boy restaurants so don’t deny yourself the pleasure just because McDonald’s isn’t there to serve you their fraud copycat sandwich.
I use to be a huge fan of the big mac, now I am sort of a more conservative fan of big mac mainly because the big mac has changed over the years and not necessarily for the better. The burger is plain tasting and of lower quality than the big mac I use to eat in the 80’s and early 90’s when I was a kid. The only reason I am still even a moderate fan of the big mac because of the special mac sauce which surprisingly has not change over the years. If not for the Mac sauce, I would have been given up on the Big Mac.
Yup. Bob Wian invented the double-deck burger in Glendale, CA in 1938. It was a way to offer more meat without adding to cooking times and without risking a greasy burger.“Secret sauces” originated at Big Boy restaurants, as well. Pre-mixing two or more ingredients like ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, decreased prep time.I like the West Coast Bob’s Big Boy burger, with the red relish (pickle relish and ketchup) and mayonnaise.
@@vincegay986 red relish sounds gross. I only ever had a Big Boy with the mayo/relish combo. I must add that the Big Boy has that crispy sear on the patties and the finely shredded (almost floss) lettuce which definitely makes a better burger.
Kurt Smith This varies from place to place, but the red relish is what’s on the original Big Boy. It’s a product that companies like Heinz also sell in supermarkets. Some of the Big Boy franchisees in the past used a Thousand Island dressing kind of sauce that McDonald’s secret sauce may be patterned after. Frisch’s, the first franchisee (Bob’s being the original), is based in Cincinnati and now owns the most Big Boy restaurants, more than Big Boy International, which now owns Bob’s. The Frisch’s Big Boy has shredded lettuce, cheese, pickle chips and tartar sauce.
The Grand Mac, though with identical ingredients, tastes not as good as a standard one because there is too much bread. A Grand Mac would taste better with larger patties.
I remember going to the "Big Boy" restaurant in Dallas in the late 60s and 70s as a kid. The franchise was called Kipps, and you are right, it was called the Big Boy Burger.
In 1980 i went to the Big Apple with the family for a little sight seeing and went to a Micky D's in Manhattan and some lady stole my big mac!! True story.....
I haven't been to a McDonald's in quite some time. The "Big Mac" was my go to sandwich. Now it's a "Double Quarter Pounder" with cheese. Guess I need to give the "Big Mac" another shot! 😊😎🍔🍔
Just to preface j work at maccas, the patties in the big Mac are the EXACT same ones used in a cheeseburger. It's basically double cheeseburger with lettuce and extra bread
THAT'S WHY THE DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER HACK IS WHAT MOST OF US DO NOW. THE XSTRA BREAD JUST MAKES IT SLIP SLIDE ALL OVER. WAY BETTER WITH A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER OR THE MCDOUBLE HACK. CHEAPER TOO.
I used to work at McDonalds in Watertown SD back in 1999, after I clocked out for the night, I would order 2 Big Macs, 2 Super Sized Flies, a super size Coke, and 20 piece Chicken McNuggets, ahhhh those were the days, sadly I can only eat one big mac, a medium fly, and coke these days, getting old sucks!
@@KittenchaosYT Ah it was about that guy who only interrupted his daily bigmac streak twice, but it has to be interrupted again because of the covid lockdown
timothy jones You are young I remember when the Big Mac was 59 cents and larger and going to Mac Donald's on Christmas Eve when Mom gave my Brothers and I $3.00 for dinner and we ate like Kings and came home with change.😢. Those were the days, late sixties early seventies.
@@patriciayohn6136 I remember the Big Macs were 55 and the Quarter Pounders were 55, the Quarter Pounders with cheese were 65. And the burgers and fries were both 21 and cheeseburgers 25. Then again, my husband took home around $100 a week.
As someone who doesn't care for the extra piece of bread in the middle of a Big Mac, I discovered that you can get Mac Sauce added to any burger for $0.30, and that it's freaking delicious on a Quarter Pounder lol. Also you can get it on the side, for those who might want to try dipping their fries in it.
A lady at my friends work who worked at McDonald's told him the actual freshest burgers are the quarter pounder and the signature burgers because the burgers are made with different patties. The other burgers the patties are prepared ahead of time and sit in a warmer so they are not the freshest burgers to get.
Didn't bother mentioning that the Big Mac was a blatant copy of the "Big Wink," a sandwich sold by the now defunct Pittsburgh area chain, Winky's. The Big Wink in turn was a rip off of the Big Boy burger.
Created by Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts. Called the Gino Giant it was sold in Baltimore before it ever showed up on McDonalds menu. Mr Marchetti is still alive in his 90's and lives in PA. There are several Gino's in the Baltimore area where the Gino Giant is still served
Most people would be too young to remember but the Original KFC had a fast food outlet that sold the Big K burger. It was identical to the Big Mack. Back in those days, you got a Big K burger, large fries and soft drink for 99 cents.
I was raised on them. Enjoyed for many years. Now I know from other sources what is in them. Sad I do not eat them anymore because I care about my health.
The Big Mac museum is my local McDonalds in North Huntington. The memorabilia and giant statue is pretty unique for a Fast Food Restaurant. Worth visiting once if in the Pittsburgh area.
Deligatti created the Big Mac to compete with the Big Wink, made by local chain Winky-s. Burger King wasn't much of a competitor in Pittsburgh at the time.
Shoney's Big Boy restaurant sold the Big Boy burger. It was like the Big Mac, but much better. Better taste.....The Big Boy Combination had fries and a tossed salad, which was my favorite, as a kid.
That's not true. I have lived off of fast food & chocolate since I've been 15. I'm in my late 40s now. I have never weighed more then 120 lbs & I'm 5'11"........
As a current worker I can say the 10:1 patties (cheeseburger, big mac, hamburger, etc.) Are pretty darn small. If you want something worth your money I recommend quarter pounder of double quarter pounder
Lacey Burlew ummm.. that’s actually weird... ur making it sound like you don’t like them but u have never had one... I bet the rest of ur life is super adventurous when a burger isn’t even something ur willing to try
I hate pancakes. Never tried them, I just don't like the way they sit there all smug and shit. And they want to me glaze them in some sort of sauce. Sick fucks those pancakes.
Should be required to say worms in it, white flour buns. Consumer reports says shit in all samples. Make own way cheaper and you can do it right, lots of garlic, toppings
Big Mac's used to be really good about 20 years ago. Then they change the Special Sauce and made it bland. I still eat one now and then and remember why I stopped eating them. I wish they would go back to the old recipe.
He ate 30,000 Big Macs and he's still alive???? And he's not even fat!!! WTF??? I've never had one in my life but starting tomorrow I'm eating Big Macs!
How many millions of deaths could be prevented if people ate whole plant food instead of "food like substances" like the big mac. I'm glad to no longer be stuck in the 'pleasure trap'.

Dale Saylors For sure but the Big Boy was way better, I really miss the Big Boy.😢
Big Mac. 1% Burger. 99% advertising.
The truth is Big Boy has been selling basically the same sandwich since the 1930's.
I'm so glad that somebody recognized this fact. The Big Boy is far better as well.

the grand mac should be standard size for them
The Big Mac grand is how big they use to be.
@@filesshared9431they are how the normal ones look on the adverts
They should bring the Grand Mac back at least for a limited time each year.
well they advertise them that size lol

2 "all beef" patties, Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Gotten worse since the 80s...
If you want a really good hamburger go to In-and-Out burgers. The problem is they're only in southern ca mostly.

I bet the meat was better in the 80's.
@JoshuaWashua that's where you're wrong kiddo
In and Out is overrated.
@@kirbywaite1586 it’s overrated trash
I still miss the arch deluxe, loved it as much as the Big Mac ☺️
Ha! I miss the Chopped Beefsteak Sandwich. That was their best burger ever. Sold during dinner hours only. Remember that?
I miss the chicken fajitas and chicken parmesan sandwich

Yes because I used to work there lol.
“The special sauce”
Bruh, it’s just thousand island dressing, but like....5% different.
The extra 5% is McSpit
1980s they changed the special sauce... don't let them fool you...

An actual Big Mac only looks half the size the ones you see in commercials. All food ads embellish the "size" of food.
It always puzzled me why the McDonald's customers who bought their burgers always threw the pickle on the street before consuming the rest of it. 🤔
