The Juice: A Little Something Extra for your morning

This one goes out to the Big Mac . . .

Arts - Culture

This week, a new museum opened near Pittsburgh and it's dedicated to a sandwich. The Big Mac and its two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun is 40 years old. It was created in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, who owned a McDonald's in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. The sandwich cost 45 cents back then. Today, Americans eat 550 million Big Macs a year. That equates to about 300 billion calories.
