Quarter Pounder

The Quarter Pounder is a hamburger sold by international fast food chain McDonald's. Until 2015, the weight of the patty was four ounces (a quarter of a pound) (113.4 grams). ^[1] Since 2015, the weight of a patty has been 4.25 ounces (120 grams). The Quarter Pounder has two buns, two slices of American cheese, pickles, and onions, as well as ketchup and mustard. The Quarter Pounder was created by Al Bernardin, a franchise owner, in Fremont, California, in 1971 as a competitor to the Whopper from Burger King. In mid-2023 Mcdonald's introduced a spicy variant of the hamburger which had sliced jalepeno peppers on the burger. ^[2]
