Why did McDonald’s name its iconic burger the Big Mac?
The Big Mac might be McDonald’s most famous item, but a lot of people don’t know much about it. Check out the history of the fast-food chain’s beloved burger.
McDonald’s is loving celebrity partnerships.
The fast-food chain is teaming up with Latin pop star J. Balvin for a meal that includes some of his favorite menu items, following the success of the restaurant chain's Travis Scott collaboration that resulted in ingredient shortages nationwide.

The J. Balvin Meal comes with a Big Mac, medium fries with ketchup, and an Oreo McFlurry, and will be available in restaurants starting Monday. The meal will be on the menu for a limited time through Nov. 1, nationwide.
On Monday, the “Mi Gente” singer tweeted out the news to his fans.
“As a longtime McDonald’s fan, I am excited to join the shortlist of global icons who have had a meal named in their honor,” Balvin, 35, said in a statement. “I am looking forward to sharing my signature order with my fans, along with more surprises that are to come with this partnership. ¡Lego!”
Customers who order the J. Balvin Meal via the McDonald’s app will get the Oreo McFlurry for free, the fast-food chain added. Prices will vary based on location.

The fast-food chain’s celebrity partnerships have proven to be a major success. In September, McDonald’s experienced an ingredients shortage due to demand for Scott’s namesake meal.
