The city of Pasadena, California, takes credit as the birthplace of the American cheeseburger. Lionel Clark Sternberger, 16, was working at his dad’s roadside burger stand named The Rite Spot in 1924 when he either “slapped a slice of cheese” to conceal a burnt patty or obliged to a customer’s request, according to nonprofit Visit Pasadena.

In July, McDonald’s reported a drop in sales for the first time in years as it struggled to draw in cash-strapped customers amid higher menu prices.
Global sales fell 1% in the second quarter, its first decline in 13 quarters, compared with analysts’ average estimate of a 0.53% rise, according to LSEG data.
