The vast majority of those surveyed could easily name the primary ingredients in a Big Mac: two all-beef patties (80 percent), lettuce (76 percent), sesame-seed bun (75 percent), special sauce (66 percent), pickles (62 percent) and cheese (60 percent).
By comparison, "You shall not kill" was known to fewer than six in 10 respondents. Less than half (45 percent) could recall the commandment to "Honor your father and mother."
Even those who said they go to church at least once a week had trouble naming all of the commandments. Seventy percent recalled "You shall not kill" and 69 percent remembered "You shall not steal" but the Big Mac's all-beef patties and lettuce got more recognition from the survey group (79 and 76 percent

Do Big Macs have onions?
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
Yes they do. It’s two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Well that proves it...Ronald McDonald is Satan... or maybe it’s that shifty Hamburgler... or Mayor McCheese.
If you break the first three, you are going to break the last seven.
Wait a minute. There are TEN commandment?
Yes, they missed the onions.
If the group cares, they could come up with a cool jingle to help us remember the 10 commandments. Then they could spend millions on non-stop advertising.
And in the end, people would get it wrong, just like they do the Big Mac recipe.
I remember I think Jay Leno doing something where more people knew the Big Mac advertisement than the plede of allegiance, or was it the star-spangled banner? I guess I don’t remember it.... :-)
Well, in fairness, there are fewer Big Mac ingredients than there are commandments to remember.
I know that, and I haven't eaten in a McDonald's in 12 years.
Only 60% of the people know that a Big Mac contains cheese?
Wow, this country is in bad shape!
God needs a better theme song for us to remember them, preferably one written by Barry Manilow.
Damn, you nailed it in the primary post. I can I “beat you to it” when “get set, go!” is the answer?
Yes, but Jesus recognized that people were really lazy, and so he gave them a 2-line cliff notes version:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
And Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
The 10 commandments were 2 rocks, not 2 all beef patties. Also they didn’t come on a tasty sesame seed bun, and they aren’t promoted with a catchy jingle.
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
WTF was up with “Grimace.” A big blue blob with a painful name.
“Yes, but Jesus recognized that people were really lazy, and so he gave them a 2-line cliff notes version”
Actually that comes from a Hebrew prayer that far predates Jesus.
I have a two year old. The only way she learns things well is with songs.
This proves the public education system is performing exactly as intended.
