Its 5 days old, but I coudnt find a thread about this.

Michael Delligatti, who invented something all of us have eaten at some point died of old age. He got to be 98 years old.

RIP

Edit: Ok so he died two years ago. Sorry.

RIP, I'am guessing he didn't actually eat the big mac to live to that age.

Sounds like the last Big Mac I had.

Seriously though, I know McD's is shit, but I love a Big Mac every once in a great while.

If he lived to 98 then he probably didn't eat them often

 

[shnurgleton]

A true culinary innovator who imagined eating a burger with an extra piece of bread in it and made his dream a reality

 

[LakeEarth]

"Wait a minute... bread, meat, bread ... meat, bread.... I've done it, I'm a genius!"

RIP, sounds like a good life he's had.

You're burying the lead that he brought McDonalds the sausage and pancake breakfast, a staple of my childhood.

i bet he didn't get to that age by eating his creation

[Zoidberg Jesus]

[hydrophilic attack]

the bread-to-meat ratio is way too high

 

[Black-_-Hornet]

Think I will have a Big Mac today to honor the creator.

Not his fault some people have no self control.

RIP

Make the Big Mac Big Again though. I swear that thing had more meat back in the 90s.

Just like a big Mac 2 years isn't long enough to decompose

Hey y'all, Michael Jackson just passed away!

That sucks that he died twice.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Did he invent the sauce? That was the real game changer.

He ate at least one 540-calorie Big Mac a week for decades, according to the fast-food fan's son.

Holy shit, this guy had the genes (longevity wise) of a god.

Michael James Delligatti was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on August 2, 1918, the son of James Delligatti, a farrier, cobbler and candy maker

According to his son Michael, Jim ate a Big Mac every week.[8]

No matter how much you work out or how well you eat, this guy would've very likely outlived you.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Didn't he die awhile back?

 

[Trike]

This is literally the opposite of too soon

 

[Medalion]

Who's the inventor of the McNugget?

 

[ReAxion]

he lived to 98 both by eating and not eating big macs.

 

[Powdered Egg]

One of the modern West's greatest inventions and a powerful sandwich. RIP you've brought a smile to the faces of millions.

 

[Halo 2]

Gross sandwich, RIP tho

 

[Firemind]

I'm going to eat a big mac tonight in his honor

 

[Firemind]

Spoiler

lol this is old news

 

[electroshockwave]

RIP to a true American hero.

 

[HotsauceDragon]

He did more than just invent a sandwich.
The Big Mac is the unofficial unit of measurement for how unhealthy food is.
How many times have you heard "as much fat as a Big Mac" or "twice as many calories as a Big Mac"?

Not to be confused with the Big Mac Index, which measures 'the purchasing power parity between two currencies', whatever the heck that means.

He doesn't control how many big macs people eat. He just made a burger.

How do you get 5 days from November 30 2016. Even changing the year from 16 to 18 that isn't close to 5 days lol.

Unless he force fed them to all the fat people in the world, its not his fault some people don't eat healthy.
