Why did McDonald’s name its iconic burger the Big Mac?
The Big Mac might be McDonald’s most famous item, but a lot of people don’t know much about it. Check out the history of the fast-food chain’s beloved burger.
McDonald’s is kicking it back to a carefree era of cheaper prices.
The Golden Arches is spicing up the dreary winter with a new "Throwback Deal" promotion, offering select menu items for less than a buck, for a limited time.

Starting today and valid each Thursday through the next six weeks, Mickey D’s has slashed prices for traditional favorites like cheeseburgers, shakes and fries when customers order through the app and spend at least $1 at participating restaurants.
"We know offering our customers a safe, fast and easy way to enjoy their favorite menu items for good value is more important than ever before, which is why we kicked off the new year by treating them to some in-app throwback prices," a spokesperson for McDonald’s told Fox News on Thursday. The promotion pays tribute to the chain’s "early menu pricing" by offering favorites for 35 cents or less.
