Why does have article have a link to a entry on "calipers"? What does that have to do with the slogan? I say the link should be deleted.

Why should Wikipedia have a page with a word that is so long that there is no need to memorize?? 66.245.127.108 20:02, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The word is 71 letters long; had it not been made up for corporate promotion, or even etymologically consistent with most of the English language, it could be a candidate for the longest word in the English language.
The above clause doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the sentence ('had it not been even etymologically consistent with most of the English language'?) Ground 02:46, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Um, this is not one word, it's a fifteen-word phrase. Misspelling it withhout the spaces does not make it a word. -(unsigned)
I remember those records included with newspapers in the 1980s. But my memory was that the song on the record was a recitation of McDonalds' menu, not of the Big Mac ingredients. Can somebody confirm this? Maybe somebody has the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.169.235 (talk) 23:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
The song was..."Two all beef patties,special sauce, lettuce, cheese ,pickles on a sesame seed bu_un" So, how could it be the menu — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:8a93:b600:18a9:27de:366c:f54c (talk) 09:12, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Check Google, the compound word version gets 200 hits while the sentence with words separated, commas gets over 30,000 hits. --Revolución (talk) 21:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
The phrase is mentioned in this article!

I honestly care very little about this extended discussion that is taking place about the proper placement of an advertising slogan, but I must make one point. The aggregate number of hits that a particular phrase receives on Google does not speak to the validity of a word's usage. If 800 monkeys gave notarized statements that they wrote Shakespeare's plays, that doesn't mean they did. Good lord, what an asinine discussion. < who ever posted this actually read what everyone else wrote and decided to put them down?...okay buddy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.106.97.75 (talk) 01:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Are we sure of the run dates for the jingle? I was born in 1972, and clearly remember hearing it on TV spots when I was st or 2nd grade (1979-1980) Devtrash 01:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
The result of the debate was move. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 15:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
There is already some debate on this issue above. Let's put this issue to bed with consensus. It is my contention that the current name of this article has little utility, it being unlikely that someone would type into the search engine the 71 letter title, because the name does not follow the normal conventions of English, appears incongruous and silly to a native reader of English and because precedent shows that the punctuated name (Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun) is far more common through internet searches. When the name is cited in more serious sources, it appears in the punctuated form, see, for example, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7]. Google returns 551 unique hits for the punctuated slogan (searched with quotes around it), [8], whereas the unpunctuated text returns 118 unique google hits. [9], a number of which are to Wikipedia and Wikipedia forks and mirrors. There is a stated rationale in a prior discussion above that the copyright of the name appears in the unpunctuated form. No evidence is provided and, in any event, I think the convention and use, rather than the company's copyright choice in 1975, should control. There is also some discussion that the slogan is intended to be read or sang quickly and the name should mirror the manner of articulation. If this were a good basis, then all manner of articles would need idiosyncratic spelling in order to conform to the manner their names are pronounced. There was some minor discussion of this move during the AFD debate--Fuhghettaboutit 23:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
In the second line, the article says "Although shown here properly punctuated...", except it isn't. Having no verb, it shouldn't be followed by a full stop. --Andrew Ross-Parker 15:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Ingredients of The Big Mac. Less than five second you would recieve a Mc Donalds tee shirt with the saying or a Big Mac for under ten second. It was a promotion back in the early 70's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 03:36, 13 February 2018 (talk • contribs) Mdcarlson8589 (UTC)
The above phrase was used by McDonalds in England in the Seventies as part of a TV advertising campaign. If one were to recite this phrase at any McDonalds counter, in less than 10 seconds, a free Big Mac would be rewarded.There were local high score lists of the shortest times for saying the phrase - not sure if there was any "grand" prize. Sorry, no source for this reminiscence: just a dill-addled old brain. Snograt talk here 08:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
This phrase, or word as some claim, was also paraphrased in the movie [Coming to America], where the main character's love interest's father operates a fast food restaurant called McDowell's. They server the same burger - except their buns do not have seeds. Reference: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094898/quotes 83.84.37.84 00:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I think it's pretty obvious that this page DOES site sources and anyone who has a TV can affirm that. And also, these ARE the ingredients of a Big Mac. Note how there are no tomatoes mentioned in the ingredients. So, I'm going to take that banner off that says there are no sources. And I find it pathetic that two women didn't know the pledge of allegiance after saying in school everyday for 18 years. ForestAngel 19:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
There was definitely a version in the 90's that had Charles Barkley in it. Pretty sure it was in 1995. 65.197.19.242 18:20, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
There was one in the early-mid '90s. Charles kept flubbing the words and at one point he says "cheesy beefy?" Unable to find video of this on youtube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.107.124.4 (talk) 06:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
