A cracking obituary here:-
https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...608fbb3aaf6_story.html?utm_term=.679bd0b33759
Neither the humpbacked 747 nor the cherry-red public buses that crisscross London surpass the Big Mac as the world’s most famous double-decker. Ever since Jim Delligatti, who died Nov. 28 at 98, created the sandwich in 1967 at a McDonald’s franchise near Pittsburgh, it has been the flagship item of the global fast-food chain, selling more than a half-billion servings annually in the United States alone...
...a totem of consistency instantly recognizable from western Pennsylvania to India, where cows are considered sacred by the nation’s Hindu population and where the Big Mac is made with mutton or chicken and called the Maharaja Mac..
... the Big Mac was a shot across the bow to Burger King’s Whopper, created a decade earlier.
