Big Macs

In utterly trivial news; If you just lost your life savings because of IndyMac, at least you can still afford a Big Mac.

Big Macs were invented 41 years ago, in 1967, but rolled out across the franchise in 1968--- which means the Big Mac is celebrating it's 40th Birthday. (last year AND this year)

Big Mac's are now served (pushed on) to people in over 100 countries around the world.

The inventor Jim "MJ" Delligatti is 89 years old, from Pennsylvania and he and his family opened up a BIG MAC MUSEUM last year which goes on my House of Bottles list for sure.
