A BIG MAC OR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS??

Which can you name first?

(1) The Commandments found in Exodus 20

(2) The ingredients of a Big Mac Burger from McDonalds

Most Americans when surveyed did a better job naming the seven ingredients of a Big Mac: two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

80% knew about the all-beef patties but only 60% recognized “Do not kill.”

Only 45% knew “Honor your father and mother,” 34% knew “Remember the Sabbath day,” and only 29% recognized “Do not make for yourself an idol."

Americans know their hamburgers..........but we’re shaky about the Ten Commandments.
