when did mcdonald's start serving the big mac
Big Mac The Big Mac is a hamburger sold by international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's. It was introduced in the Greater Pittsburgh area, United States, in 1967 and nationwide in 1968. It is one of the company's signature products.
Big N' Tasty The Big N' Tasty was introduced in 1997 and was originally tested in the Californian market, while the Big Xtra was test marketed in the Northeastern United States as the MBX;[9][10][11] during the simultaneous testing phase, either one could be sold depending upon the test market.[12] The Big N' Tasty was phased in nationally in 2000, displacing the Big Xtra in the United States. The national introduction was done to coincide with the opening of Disney's California Adventure. From 2002 until 2003, the Big N' Tasty was one of the flagship products for the McDonald's Dollar Menu. McDonald's removed the Big N' Tasty from the Dollar Menu on February 1, 2003, so that the Double Cheeseburger could take its place. McDonald's removed the Big N' Tasty from its menu in the United States on January 1, 2011.[13]
