Have McDonalds burgers always had the gherkins on from the early days or more recent thing?

Question

I do know they have been on quite a while but want to know how long etc

Answer 1

When i lived in New York in the 1970s, the Macdonald's commercial included a jingle which went " Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun" and if you sang it correctly at a Macdonald's outlet, you got one for free. Incidentally, a dill pickle is the same thing as a gherkin, but a great deal bigger.

Answer 2

Well, everytime I have ever been to McDonalds, ther has always been a gherkin on my cheese burger but I wish there wasnt! I hate the things

Answer 3

Burger King

Answer 4

I've never heard of gherkins on McDonald's burgers, mine have always had dill pickle slices. That sounds like a taste sensation though.

Answer 5

Ever since they've had outlets in this country the Gherkin has been on the hamburger and the quarter pounder.

Answer 6

McDonalds has always used the same kind of pickle on their main burgers, but some advertise a dill pickle.

Answer 7

from the beginning of time. i remember when mcdonalds opened up and the hamburgers were twelve cents a piece and they are the same size and made the same way now as they were back then.

Answer 8

Long before the previous answerer's 1990 claim. As long back as I remember - you need something to give it some flavour.

Answer 9

They've been there since 1990, when I had my first McDollars hamburger.

Answer 10

For as long as i can remember!!
