The Big Classic sandwich was a hamburger sold by the international fast-food restaurant chain Wendy's. The sandwich was intended to present a larger, meatier burger that appealed to the 18-36 year old male demographic that desired a "heartier" product. It is one of only two named hamburger products sold by the company and was designed to compete against the Burger King Whopper sandwich.

Product description

The Big Classic was a hamburger, consisting of a ¼ pound (113 g) beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, ketchup, onions, pickle and grill seasoning served on Kaiser style roll. Cheese could be added upon request.

Variants

History

The Big Classic was introduced in September 1986 as part of a line of sandwiches that were launched during a major corporate restructuring of Wendy's. cite web |url=http://www.answers.com/topic/wendy-s-international?cat=biz-fin |title=Wendy's International |author= |publisher=Answers.com |date= |accessdate=2007-12-19] Some years later the recipe was changed so that two strips of bacon were added to the build, and the name changed to the Big Bacon Classic.
