- How big was the biggest Hamburger? Well, it was a giant. In 1982, 10,000 people came to taste the largest Hamburger ever built. Even if it was just a single bite; imagine the mammoth size that was needed to feed those 10,000 mouths. The burger weighed a staggering 3,591 pounds.
- Hamburgers are often known by the name Liberty Sandwich. This name was introduced by American soldiers during WWI because they wanted to avoid any German name.
