First foisted upon a hungry populace in Pittsburgh, PA in 1967, at the behest of a local franchisee, it spread to nationwide availability a year later and was immediately a hit, becoming one the most iconic of all American products within a few short years.

The history of the Big Mac is mildly interesting. ThereвЂ™s only one place to go if you crave a Big Mac, but, luckily or abhorrently, depending on your point of view, theyвЂ™re everywhere. If you try to make a Big Mac yourself you will fail, as will efforts by competitors like Burger King, with their OK but nothing like the real thing Big King. The advertisers knew what they were doing when they crafted that campaign in 1974. As we all know, two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun are the parts here. The proportions are just right, with not too much or too little of one thing. What I like best about the Big Mac isnвЂ™t any one thing, though the вЂњspecial sauceвЂќ is key, but the sum of its parts. I got the Big Mac because I was hungry enough, and it looked similar. At the time there was a local competitor called CarrollвЂ™s that made this thing called the Club Burger, which I liked. I can still remember the first one I got, during a trip to the big city (Rochester, NY) to get school clothes while I was still living in nearby Geneseo. IвЂ™ve been a Bic Mac lover since I was a little kid.
