What was the original name for the Big Mac?

Answer 1

Lil' Trey, a member of a South Los Angelas based crip associated gang called the 9th Street Locs approached Ronald and tried to rob him. Upon explaining that the Mac-10 Sub-Machine gun, which he had drawn on Mr Mcdonald, was the gangster's most valued of weapons in LA, the gangster enquired about who he was robbing so that he could, as he put it, brag to the homies. Ronald explained who he was, with the gangster starring in surprise. Instead of taking his belongings, the robber, asked Mr Mcdonald to make a double cheesburger and call it 'The Mac' in honour of the infamous gun of the same name. Ronald accepted this porposal and thus 'The Mac' was created. It was later changed to the 'Big Mac' after extra ingredients were added to the burger such as the big mac sauce.
