Did You Know - Big Mac Edition
13 Things You Definitely Don't Know About the Big Mac
6. Pennsylvania is also home to an official Big Mac Museum
- It's true, ladies and gents. Since 2007, curious burger-heads have been able to visit an entire museum dedicated to America's beloved burger in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. The museum (which also serves as a McDonald's restaurant) was opened by Mike Delligatti, Big Mac inventor Jim Delligatti’s son, and houses the world’s Biggest Mac, which is a stunning 14 by 12ft.
8. And the company uses a "specially" calibrated gun to spread said sauce
- It gets weirder, though. Apparently, the special stuff is delivered to each McDonald's franchise in custom "sauce guns" stocked with sealed condiment canisters. With each trigger pull, the machine fires precisely measured dollops of the tangy condiment onto each lucky burger.

Alliance moves to block EPA from finalizing mpg rules
WASHINGTON -- A major auto trade group is making a last-ditch effort to block the EPA from finalizing tough fuel economy standards through the 2025 model year.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing General Motors Co, Toyota Motor Corp , Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG, late Monday urged congressional negotiators to include language in a short-term budget resolution that would bar the Obama administration from finalizing the rules before it leaves office next month.
"EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early -- even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags -- calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur," said Gloria Bergquist, a spokeswoman for the group.
