Big Mac
Golden Arches flagship
A Big Mac is McDonald's signature hamburger, featuring two beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a three-part sesame seed bun.
Introduced in 1968, it became iconic enough that economists use the Big Mac Index to compare purchasing power across countries.
I'll have a Big Mac and large fries.
