Question: The Big Mac, now a McDonald’s staple worldwide, was invented in 1967 by a franchise owner in which Pennsylvania city?

Answer: Uniontown. McDonald’s franchisee Jim Delligatti, who ran restaurants near Pittsburgh, first sold his Big Mac at his Uniontown store on April 22, 1967, for 45 cents. It went nationwide the next year, and today a Big Mac Museum in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, honors the burger’s Keystone State roots.
