Who doesn't like an egg-wheat muffin once in a while? This may be the only thing I have eaten at McDonald's. Some mornings, they just arrived at the scene.

McDonald's will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Egg McMuffin tomorrow (Thursday, 11/18), and it will be sold at the original price of 63 cents in 1971.

There are some differences as to the exact time when Egg McMuffin was first launched. It was actually invented in 1971 by the owner of the McDonald's franchise in Santa Barbara, California. Wikipedia claims that it was actually in 1972, but let's take 71 as an example, so that we can get the deal tomorrow, right?

The Santa Barbara franchise owner came up with this brilliant idea in 1971, Herb Peterson began offering it in his franchise in 1972, and it was not offered at the local McDonald’s until sometime in 1975. .

The 63-cent McMuffin deal had a catch. McDonald's is working hard to improve their reward program, which means you must order through the McDonald's app. If you plan to go through drive-through only, you will not get the 63-cent discount. If in fact it is more like 3 yuan.

The first incarnation of McMuffin was actually a version of eggs Benedict, but the inventor Herb Peterson thought the packaged hollandaise would not work, so he took some cheese on it, a slice of Canadian bacon and the first American one. The fast food breakfast sandwich was born.

McDonald’s issued this press release;

“Egg McMuffin is the first fast-food restaurant breakfast sandwich ever. It was added to McDonald’s menu in Santa Barbara, California in 1971. Since then, customers have been using it for creativity,” said Mo, senior director of brand communications at McDonald’s. Said Molly McKenna. "It's fun to see all the ways they make their own-whether it's adding some spicy sauce or the sweetness of jam, or mixing it with sausage and wheat muffins, they are always innovating. I personally like to add a little heat Egg muffins for me."
