- Even if you’re a huge fan of McDonald’s and its classic burgers, there’s a good chance that you don’t know the truth about McDonald’s Big Mac. From the origins of this celebrated burger to how it’s changed the lives of certain individuals, we’re exploring just what makes Mickey D’s famous Big Mac such a juggernaut in the world of burgers. Ever since its creation by McDonald’s franchisee Jim Delligatti in 1967, the Big Mac was fated for burger glory. It was created to take down Burger King’s champ, the Whopper, and helped pave the way for other McDonald’s specialty sandwiches like the Arch Deluxe or the Big N’ Tasty. While many of these unique burgers have faded into the annals of fast food history, the Big Mac has shown its staying power and continues to be one of the most popular fast food items around.
McDonald’s Big Mac also has a long and storied history, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone to learn that there’s a museum dedicated to the burger. You might even find an elusive, commemorative MacCoin in the Big Mac Museum. These rare collectible coins can be used anywhere in the world and can be traded in at any participating McDonald’s locations for a tasty Big Mac. Of course, even if you collected a thousand of these coins and turned them in every day, you’d be nowhere near Don Gorske’s record for eating Big Macs. Join us as we serve up our own brand of Big Mac Special Sauce, flavored with the weird and fascinating history of the McDonald’s Big Mac!

Hey
Hi
Isn't an ATM that dispenses food called a vending machine?
Logic has no place here 🙃
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."
Build the wall... and make Burger King pay for it.
Some how you are right.....
Lmfao
El pollo loco?
@robert leonard that's from Texas. But yeah, close texas off too.
@Brian The Explorer tyrant how?
Why is nobody talking about how that guy got screwed by only getting a plaque?
maccies are rats
Maybe cuz he was an idiot? Ever think about that?

Arterial.
Its gotten smaller and i want the grand mac back.
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.
Big mac is too small but the Double big mac is perfection. Just ate one a few hours ago, hit the spot!
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.
Jury C hell yeah I eat McDonald's and my gut is sick within 10 dam minutes.
the recipe is online for the big mac sauce
youtube it
How often do you cook
Same here. I won't lie, the food is tasty, but I get sick every time I eat almost anything fast food anymore.
@@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.
The big macs always make me hungry after like 30 minutes
Did the guy get McCancer?
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
Thank you chairman Kim, very cool.
Because u r kim-child
That's a hell of a combination.
looks like you've already eaten 10,000 of them.
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.
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
Big Mac is much smaller now in compare to when I was a kid back in the 80s (so is whopper).
Now I want a big mac.
VanHallen52 me too 😋🤤😤
Same
same
Kimberylnn Myers hey more for you guys 3:54 ruined my appetite for one.
@@VanHallen52 Lol
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.
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
I believe that Big Mac was a copy of the Big Boy sandwich from Shoney’s.
Dale Saylors For sure but the Big Boy was way better, I really miss the Big Boy.😢
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.
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.
I ate Big Boys back in the late 70's and can still remember that flavor. Just can't find them anymore.
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
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 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! 😊😎🍔🍔
Big Mac will always be my favorite burger. Not the best in the world, but always consistently tastes great.
Bring the Grand Mac please.
Big Mac. 1% Burger. 99% advertising.
1 - It's goddamn delicious
Ah, a burger museum! That’s USA 101 right there.
They use to be larger when they first came out!😮
2 "all beef" patties, Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Did you know the top of the bun is called the Crown, the middle bit is the Club, and the bottom piece is called the Heel? No? Well now you do. 😉
Yes because I used to work there lol.
I will admit I have drawn on paper that's thicker than the burger patties Maccys use.
Last time I ate at MC Donalds was about two years ago , but I did notice the store keeps the prices high .
I noticed the price increase, too. Not as cheap as it used to be. But their food tastes pretty decent.
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 think Bob's Big Boy in Glendale, California created the same burger in 1936. I think it was called the Big Boy Burger.
It was called the double decker hamburger
Amaya 78 yep! They were delicious.
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.
I have only been to macdonalts once the mac looked like the photo but run over by a tank
I just order $1 cheeseburger and ask to add Big Mac sauce on it
A Big Mac with In-N-Out's meat and cheese would be killer.
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.
help me why am i addicted to these kind of videos
One of the most iconic and delicious burgers, only rivaled by the whopper and baconator.
make it three times he didn't eat it every day, corona time!

Tf is you on my guy
ok
@@KittenchaosYT To be honest I can't remember and I can't make anything out of this too
@@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
The Big Mac is my favorite burger 🍔 from McDonald's. I wish that they were a little bit bigger.
Immmmm, hereeee!!!!
I've never had a big mac
I remember when the Big Mac was .99 cents today it’s worth .95 cents and I feel the patties are smaller Hardee’s Carl’s Jr. 👌🏾👌🏾
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.
I didn't know the President was on a commercial saying what was the special ingredient to Big Macs.
Big mac's in holland get smaller every year.
ab anoniem Holland sucks
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!
What you get never looks like the picture-they look flat.
2 all beef patties special sauce lettuces cheese pickles onion on a sesime seed bun
I'm pretty sure McDonald's got the Big Mac from the Big Boy... I'm surprised the 2 guys are still around after eating Big Macs everyday for years!
IN & OUT for LIFE 🍔
Thought the (Big Mac) was created in response to the Big Boy sandwich.
The Big Boy was always better and I truly miss them, Big Mac was the pretender but more accessible.
McDonald's made billions off the Big Mac, but the inventor only got a plaque? That's criminal!
I am not a big fan of Big Mac, but it is still good to me, especially in some special occassions.
I was working at McDonald's in the 60s or early 70s when the Big Mac came to our restaurant for the first time. It was 55 cents.
Donna Manning I remember.59 cents where I lived at the time.
@@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.
Wendy’s classic double with fries and a frosty is my jam.
nobody eats a bic man every day for years and lives to tell how fat they got since they started
Wrong this guy HAS. 30,000 of them. He said it is the FRIES he wont eat they will KILL hi.m. He is well known among foodies.
You realise he only eats big macs for the most of his diet so his daily calorie intake is still pretty low thats how hes not fat. Use your brain
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"........
I eat McDonald’s almost everyday for years and years, yet I weight 135 lbs and my blood pressure and cholesterol is perfect.
That's scary to know he's eaten that many big macs. I'd be paranoid af.
Well played Mickey D's... I really want a Big Mac now. It better be fucking delicious!!!
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.
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.
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.
Never had a Big Mac and I probably never will but I still watched the video for some reason.
Dude Man .. why would u never try a burger... it’s not exactly an adventurous thing.. ur strange
I feel so guilty after eatting a big mac 😭
I live 20 minutes away from the museum and never knew it existed 😂
1980s they changed the special sauce... don't let them fool you...
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.
I love them !
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. 🤔
Small mac in oz now.
They are so tiny it is gotten beyond a joke.
They cannot tell us otherwise.
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.
When you think about something and it pops up on yt our brains are being monitored
special sauce is thousand island dressing
I remember when my sister used to work at McDonald's she use to make me a big mac with the quarter pound patties man that would hit the spot
An actual Big Mac only looks half the size the ones you see in commercials. All food ads embellish the "size" of food.
Don Gorsky made a guest appearance on documentary Supersize Me. If I remember correctly, he ordered and tried a Whooper once at a
Burger King.
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.
number fifteen mcdonalds foot lettuce
the last thing you want in your big mac is somebodys foot fungus
McDonalds Burger Patties are so damn small it’s insane.
30,000 Big Mac? Hard to believe he's only 28...
Hard to believe he's moving.
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.
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
McDouble dressed like a Big Mac:
-no ketchup
-no mustard
-sub Mac sauce (no extra charge)
-add shredded lettuce
👌
Was it always small ? in the 90s just curious because I remember seeing them bigger then now.
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.
just get the McDouble and add the Mac sauce way cheaper
I thought the big Mac came before the Whopper...
Well, clearly both are way before the Rally's/Checkers Big Buford...that must have came out only, like, 20 years ago, if I'm not mistaken.
Mc Donald's stole the idea from Big Boy
big mac came out before the big king. i think you got that twisted ^^
@Ron Strzelecki i said big king, not whopper ;)
@Ron Strzelecki bk's ^^
“The special sauce”
Bruh, it’s just thousand island dressing, but like....5% different.
The extra 5% is McSpit
like the old lady on the commercial used to say where's the beef
Im sitting at mcdonalds waiting for my big mac to come while watching this lol
Because when you're loving it.! And can't stop eating it! Buck after buck. Cost a lot!
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
A double Whopper fixed up like a big Mac, it's awesome
After this video I’ll sure eat Big Mac promo!!!
I got a subway ad on this 😂🤣🤔
You can make your own Big Mac at home and it'll taste a hell of a lot better. That special sauce on the Big Mac is very close to thousand island dressing or I think that's the name of the dressing lol. Been awhile since I made one at home lol.
I literally had my first big mac yesterday in 6 years and then this video pops up?!
How was it?
I put A1 steak sauce on mine.
I get a mcdouble plain and i add mac sauce 😎
That's called a hood mac
does mac sauce cost extra?
Alex Rekzu hell no ! Lol its a dollar
I do that too. Sometimes they just give you free sauce. Lol
Great idea! I’m gonna try that. Less bread. Good lookin out 👍🏻
just got a mcdonald ad
Why is only one slice of cheese placed on only one of the patties?
I didn't get a Big Mac coin.... must have been America only again
Big Macs are only good when Whoppers aren't around.
Love it. Mmgood
