Quarter Pounder
Quarter Pounder
The Quarter Pounder (pronunciation: /ˈkwɔːrtər ˈpaʊndər/) is a popular hamburger product from the international fast-food chain, McDonald's. It was first introduced in 1971 and has since become a staple item on the menu.
Etymology
The term "Quarter Pounder" is derived from the weight of the beef patty used in the burger, which is approximately a quarter of a pound prior to cooking. The name is an example of descriptive naming, a common practice in product marketing.
Description

Variations of the Quarter Pounder, such as the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, or the Deluxe Quarter Pounder, include additional or different ingredients.
