The McDouble is a popular hamburger sold at McDonald's restaurants. It's a special kind of double cheeseburger because it has two beef patties but only one slice of cheese between them. The McDouble first appeared in 1997. After a break, it came back in 2008 and is known for being one of McDonald's more affordable menu items.
What's in a McDouble?
A McDouble burger has about 390 calories, which tells you how much energy it gives your body. It also contains 23 grams of fat, some fiber (7% of what you need daily), and a good amount of calcium (20% of your daily needs).
The price of a McDouble can change depending on where you buy it. Sometimes, it costs around $2.99. It's often seen as a good way to get a burger similar to a Big Mac without spending as much money.
McDouble's Story
The McDouble first came out in 1997. Back then, it was advertised with a character called "Eddie the Echo." In those early days, the McDouble didn't even have cheese! It was served with lettuce and tomatoes instead.
Later, a new version called the Bacon McDouble was introduced. This burger costs about $2. It was also added to McDonald's "Dollar Menu & More" in the United States in November 2013.
Many people on social media have said that the McDouble is a good choice because it's affordable and can be quite filling. The product was even ranked highly by The Business Insider.
