I laughed so hard when I saw this. In an earlier post, I pontificated on the weirdness of various monuments, stautes, etc. What I obviously overlooked was the weird-ass museums that are out there. Case in point - a museum dedicated to the Big Mac. Now my skinny ass loves big macs - and I make no apologies for it. However, the idea of a museum to the greassy coagulation of flavors intrigued me. Wonder if Travelocity offers a vacation package there?
Some history on the Big Mac:
The Big Mac was first introduced in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, a McDonald's franchise owner in Uniontown, Pa. A year later, it became a staple of McDonald's menus nationwide.
To celebrate the burger's anniversary, Delligatti, 89, and his family opened a Big Mac Museum Restaurant this week in North Huntingdon, Pa., full of memorabilia, celebratory exhibits and "the world's largest Big Mac statue."
For those who wonder what is really in a Big Mac (you are losers) but here it is:
Indeed, the sandwich has become a veritable pop culture phenomenon, spawning everything from an impossible-to-forget jingle ("Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun," anyone?) to a currency-evaluation index created by The Economist.
