What were YOU doing in 1971? I was five and probably running around the house playing with GI Joe. Why do I ask about 1971, because that was the year this iconic McDonald's sandwich was introduced to the world.

I'll be honest I don't have them all the time, but I am a fan of the Egg McMuffin and every so often I make a point to grab one for breakfast. I actually liked when McDonald's did extended hours for breakfast service. An Egg McMuffin was always good for lunch.
