Big N' Tasty

Big N' Tasty is a hamburger sold by the international fast food chain McDonald's. It was first introduced in 1997 and was part of the company's menu until 2011 in the United States. The Big N' Tasty's main competitors were similar burgers like the Burger King's Whopper.

History

The Big N' Tasty was first tested in 1997 in the California market, while McDonald's was trying to create a burger that would compete with the popular Burger King Whopper. After successful testing, it was rolled out nationwide in 2000. The burger was part of the Dollar Menu in the United States from 2002 until 2003. It was removed from the U.S. menu in January 2011, but is still sold in some markets, such as Egypt.

Composition

The Big N' Tasty consists of a seasoned quarter-pound (4 oz, 113.4 g) beef meat patty with ketchup, mayonnaise, slivered onions, two dill pickle slices, leaf lettuce, and one tomato slice on a sesame seed bun.

Marketing

The Big N' Tasty was marketed as being similar to rival Burger King's Whopper sandwich. In 2001, McDonald's ran a promotional campaign for the burger featuring NBA player Kobe Bryant.
