webfact Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Big Mac inventor dies, aged 98 Michael James Delligatti, the inventor of the Big Mac, has died at the age of 98. He famously said it took him two years to convince McDonald’s that his creation was a good idea, but then it became one of the brand’s most well-known sandwiches. The double beef pattie on a hamburger bun was first released onto the market in Pennsylvania, 49 years ago and is still going strong today. -- © Copyright Euronews 2016-12-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 98 isn't bad for someone who indulged in what many would consider as poor dietary habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwrath Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 How many people died of heart attacks due to his 'invention', before he keeled over at the ripe old age of 98 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 There is nothing wrong with consuming a big mac every now and than, but when one makes it his daily diet, this is when the problem start, as anything on this earth, moderation, is the key word....

Stop the world. McDonald's in Thailand just introduce the "signature collection" burger which is similar to the 1/4 pounder in the US and is not too bad. FYI - The Sausage McMuffin with egg is now on sale for 59 Baht (from 97) until Jan 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 This guy probably killed more people than smoking, and while we are at it I would say that America, foisting it,s disgusting dietary habits on the rest of the world, has destroyed the health of entire countries ! Coca Cola should be banned, along with all the other c**p that they have been peddling to the public for financial gain, and the only decent thing they ever put out was the Egg McMuffin !

If eating Big Macs can cause you to live to 98, I think McDonald's is onto something. Must be all those preservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod reborn Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The Big Mac is the world's most iconic burger. However, Delligatti doesn't deserve all the credit. The double decker burger was actually originally developed by Bob's Big Boy. Delligatti only replaced hamburger relish (ketchup and relish) with McDonald's Special Sauce (a tangy thousand island, basically the hamburger relish with mayo and more vinegar).

Beats56 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I like the odd big mac but the bun here seems to fall apart before you finished eating it. I use to make great egg mcmuffins for my kids back home. I can't seem the buns for them here in Thailand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people are even mentioning this guy. What did he do really? Reinvent something that already existed, and then claim credit for something new. Let's add an extra bun and patty. Wow. Amazing creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks for that Shot....it's stuck in my mind. He was pretty well known for the Big Mac. I wonder whatever happened to the guy who invented the deep fried peanut butter jelly and tamale burger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'm just saying.....most people can eat alot worse. It's not a greasy bubbling harbinger of death. I would bet the sauce is the worst member of the whole mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy invented the hamburger. he put a pattie of ground up lips, noses and other intestines between 3 slices of bread, added fake yellow cheese, some old lettuce and tomato sauce. The guy was a pure culinary genius. This marvelous food in now being sold in what is claimed to be world famous "RESTAURANTS." When I pick up a hot chick I always book a table at these restuarants. A gentlemen must make an impression. I tell her her to rap her lips around the best beef burger. For some unknown reason they leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Eating a Big Mac as compared to a real hamburger.....kinda like a downhill skier gliding down an indoor ice Hill on fake snow. I call them hamburger sandwiches not hamburgers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
