Quarter Pounder
Quarter Pounder
The Quarter Pounder is a hamburger product offered by international fast food chain McDonald's. It was first introduced in 1971 and has since become one of the company's signature items. The Quarter Pounder is named for its weight of a quarter of a pound (approximately 113 grams) before cooking.
History[edit | edit source]
The Quarter Pounder was created by Al Bernardin, a franchise owner and former Vice President of product development at McDonald's. Bernardin introduced the burger in 1971 in his Fremont, California franchise. The product was intended to be a larger, more filling option for customers, and its success led to it being rolled out to McDonald's locations nationwide.
Description[edit | edit source]
The standard Quarter Pounder consists of a 113 g (4 oz) beef patty, two slices of cheese, pickles, raw onion slices, ketchup, and mustard, served on a sesame seed bun. Variations of the Quarter Pounder include the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and the Quarter Pounder Deluxe.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The Quarter Pounder has been well received by customers and is one of McDonald's most popular items. It has also been featured in popular culture, most notably in the film Pulp Fiction, where it is referred to as a "Royale with Cheese".
