The Big Mac debuted in one of his restaurants in 1967 for 45 cents. This sandwhich was then introduced to all the restaurants in 1968. One of the reasons which the Big Mac was so successful was the bread in the center of the sandwhich. This piece of Bread helped to stabilize the sandwhich. This is how the Big Mac came to be.

This meal was successfully target marketed to children due to the impressive use of toys. The toys made kids want the meal even if they didn't want the food. This whole brilliant plan was forged by a advertising agent named Bob Bernstein the CEO of Bernstein-Rein Advertising. This idea helped to make McDonalds even more money. Ever since this idea they have expanded to kids with the play area within the restaurant. The Happy Meal helped to pave the way for other great ideas.
