McDonald’s is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its world famous Big Mac. The Big Mac has been one of the most popular and best-selling items in the company’s history. It is known for being bigger than a usual hamburger, with two pieces of meat separated by an extra piece of bread in the middle. It is also made with special sauce and toppings.

As part of a memorable advertising campaign in the 1970s, the Big Mac’s ingredients were sung to music to help keep them in people’s minds. Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

The Big Mac generally contains the same ingredients in McDonald’s restaurants around the world.

The Big Mac was invented in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, the local operator of several McDonald’s in the American state of Pennsylvania. He urged the company to let him sell the special hamburger at all the restaurants that he ran.

Delligatti died in 2016 at the age of 98. In a 2007 interview with Reuters, he said it took a long time to persuade McDonald’s that the Big Mac was a good idea. “I felt that we needed a big sandwich,” he said. “But you couldn’t do anything unless they gave you permission.”
