Michael 'Jim' Delligatti, the inventor of the Big Mac, has died aged 98.
Just how he made it that far, given his fondness for the lard-laden double-decker, is anyone's guess.
Delligatti cooked up the Big Mac in 1965 when, as one of McDonalds' early franchisees, he felt the menu needed a rival for local burger bars' two-storey offerings. In 1967 he put it on the menu at his Uniontown, Pa, restaurant.
McDonalds like what it saw and took it national by 1968.
The rest is history: the Big Mac went on to become a symbol of American culture and capitalism, was accused of felling rainforests and contributed to unknown quantities of myocardial infarctions.
Messiah, or mass-murderer?

The last time I saw him he was walking down Lover's Lane holding his own hand.

Yeah, this whole discussion is going to devolve into the 22 year old 500 lb fat fucks with bad knees and trouble sleeping telling the world how everything "processed" is unhealthy and will kill you. Probably some anti GMO discussion as well.
The top comment already goes out of its way to slam diet sodas. 60g of sugar in every serving of your juice, fat fuck?
