Egg McMuffin inventor dies at 89

I say he branded it, not invented it. We were eating egg, bacon & cheese sandwiches on bread, bagels, muffins etc long before 1972.

Are you suggesting the news media got it wrong???

How is it the end of an era? Is McD's going to stop selling them now?

I wonder if he died of a heart attach?

By the way, I found a picture of the coffin they are going to use. LINK.

Huh. I don't believe I ever had an Egg McMuffin. Usually, if I bother with breakfast at all (I often don't) I'll have it at home.

I don't like eggs, so no, I've never had one.

I much prefer a sausage & egg biscuit from Hardee's but there are none locally so on the rare occasions when I'm out in the morning I'll settle for a sausage & egg croissant from BK.
If memory serves McD's hasn't had good luck developing new sandwiches; They "appropriated" the Big Mac from a smaller chain and as pointed out above egg muffins had been around for a long time.
