Before Big Mac, the names that were chosen for the famous burger were 'the Aristocrat' and 'the Blue Ribbon Burger' but both the names were a failure. The third name decided was the 'Big Mac' which was a huge success in the market.

Recently in TikTok, a user who works at McDonald's revealed insights on how a Big Mac is made and claimed the process to be complex. Firstly there buns (the top crown, the bottom heel, and the middle club) are toasted in three separate toasters. Once done then the Big Mac sauce is added to the heel and club bun using a condiment gun. The next step is to add chopped onions, shredded lettuce, and thinly sliced pickles to the heel and club bun along with a slice of American cheese which is slightly melted.
Finally, the two beef patties are thoroughly cooked (grilled) with seasoning and then added to the bun before placing the crown (the top) bun. These steps then lead to the creation of the legendary and heavenly tasty Big Mac.
