Big Mac May 5, 1968 The McDonald’s Big Mac hamburger makes its nationwide debut with its “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun.” It was created by a Pittsburgh McDonald’s franchisee the previous year. It originally went by the names the “Aristocrat” and the “Blue Ribbon Burger”, both of which did poorly in the marketplace, finally settling on the name Big Mac.
