Big Mac pays royalties
Comment: My son recently mentioned that he had heard that "the guy who
designed/developed/created the Big Mac sandwich for McDonald's receives $0.25 for every Big Mac sold, and now that he's died, his family gets it." I explained to my son that Ray Kroc was a very shrewd businessman, and that I doubted he would ever give away that much money. I also doubted there was any way to pay royalties on a sandwich design.

It seems to me that anyone who "invented" the Big Mac would already be working for the company and be receiving a salary for their job. Doubtful is the case that they patened the idea for the burger and McDonald's bought it. Why would they? It's just a burger.

Big Mac celebrates 40th birthday
The Big Mac was first served on this date in 1967 at a McDonald's in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
The 45-cent double burger on a triple bun was the invention of Jim Delligatti, one of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc's earliest franchisees. He's now 89. http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/art...gmac22-ON.html

Big Mac - Creator Controversy
The Big Mac was created at a McDonald's in Uniontown, Pennsylvania by a police officer named Ronald "Cuts" Curry, but the credit was given to the store owner, Jim Delligatti. Neither man received any royalties. http://thinkwebworks.com/ao/History.asp?ID=18

Even if they paid royalties, 25 cents a sandwich would be ridiculously huge. Probably be more like a tenth of a cent or something. (Which would still run into millions, I expect....)
