In 2018, McDonald's revamped the special sauce by removing potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and calcium disodium EDTA. It consists of store-bought mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish and yellow mustard whisked together with vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. In 2012, McDonald's executive chef Dan Coudreaut released a YouTube video revealing the recipe of the special sauce. Д«ig Mac Sauce is delivered to McDonald's restaurants in sealed canisters designed by Sealright, from which it is meant to be directly dispensed using a special calibrated 'sauce gun' that dispenses a specified amount of the sauce for each pull of the trigger. The name 'special sauce' was popularized by a 1974 advertising campaign featuring a list of the ingredients in a Big Mac. This index is sometimes referred to as Burgernomics. The Economist has used it as a reference point for comparing the cost of living in different countries вЂ“ the Big Mac Index вЂ“ as it is so widely available and is comparable across markets. The Big Mac is known worldwide and is often used as a symbol of American capitalism and decadence. On October 1, 2018, McDonald's announced that it would remove all artificial preservatives, flavors, and coloring from the Big Mac. The Big Mac consists of two 1.6В oz (45В g) beef patties, 'special sauce' (a variant of Thousand Island dressing), shredded iceberg lettuce, American cheese slices, sliced dill pickles, and minced onions, served in a three-part sesame seed bun. The Big Mac proved popular and it was added to the menu of all U.S. It was designed to compete with Big Boy Restaurants' Big Boy hamburger Eat'n Park was the Pittsburgh area's Big Boy franchisee at the time. The Big Mac debuted at the McDonald's owned by Delligatti in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on April 22, 1967, selling for US$0.45 (equivalent to $3.66 in 2021). The third name, Big Mac, was created by Esther Glickstein Rose, a 21-year-old advertising secretary who worked at McDonald's corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The Big Mac had two previous names, both of which failed in the marketplace: the Aristocrat, which Americans found difficult to pronounce and understand, and Blue Ribbon Burger. It was invented in the kitchen of Delligatti's first McDonald's franchise, located on McKnight Road in suburban Ross Township. The Big Mac was created by Jim Delligatti, an early Ray Kroc franchisee, who was operating several restaurants in the Pittsburgh area.
