💡 What's interesting

The 'Quarter Pounder' name originally highlighted its weight before cooking (a quarter-pound of beef), which was a marketing point for a larger burger in the 1970s. The 'Deluxe' version reflects a common fast-food evolution, adding fresh vegetable toppings to create a perceived premium or more complete meal.
