Did you already know this? Were you keeping it from me?
You probably already know that world number 2 Lakey Peterson is heir to the vast Egg McMuffin legacy but I just found out this morning and am seriously still having heart palpitations as a result. I mean, the Egg McMuffin? THE Egg McMuffin?
When was the last Egg McMuffin you had? I’ve switched over to the sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle, of course since I’m an adult male, but those were not on the menu when I was killing a few morning hours in Dubai International Airport recently and so I ordered an Egg McMuffin which surprised. So…. delicious!
And maybe that salty taste with notes of sourdough and liver failure still lingering in my mouth, I stumbled upon an NBC Sports story titled Lakey Peterson, with Guinness World Record, Egg McMuffin links, leads U.S. surfing to Olympic debut.
Never before have I read something so…. titillating and rushed to the text.
Lakey Peterson‘s mom is a former Guinness World Record holder. Her grandfather created the McDonald’s Egg McMuffin. She is now the best surfer in the U.S. after a breakthrough 2018, with 20 months until the sport’s Olympic debut in Tokyo.
It went on, jibber-jabbering about competitive surfing but I didn’t need anymore and headed over to a McDonald’s fan site to learn about the great Herb Peterson.
Herbert Ralph “Herb” Peterson (January 5, 1919 – March 25, 2008) was a fast food] executive and food scientist, most known for being the inventor of the McDonald’s Egg McMuffin in 1972. The breakfast business that he pioneered with this item had grown to an estimated $4–5 billion in annual revenues for the fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s by 1993.
Peterson developed the Egg McMuffin, which has become a McDonald’s breakfast signature item, in 1972. Peterson was said to like eggs benedict, so he worked to develop a breakfast item which was similar to it for the fast food chain. Peterson eventually came up with the Egg McMuffin, which was an egg sandwich consisting of an egg formed in a Teflon circle with the yolks broken, topped with Canadian Bacon and a slice of cheese. The Egg McMuffin was served as an open faced sandwich on a buttered and toasted English muffin.
I’m so blown away that I can’t write anything more today and I probably won’t be able to write anything more tomorrow either.
This is literally a known fact. She talks about it. Her mom used to bring free Egg McMuffins to all the competitors in her younger years. “Revealed” you really thought you did something huh
Maybe he slipped in some population control chem, where’s Nick D?
I thought this was common knowledge since Lakey as a NSSA kid.
Promise I wasn’t keeping it from you Chas but I’ve known this since Lakey competed in the 2010 world juniors at Narrabeen, complete with golden arches stickers on her boards. Was a fun line of post-heat questioning beyond the usual how-do-you-feel? schtick.
Ben knew it before her grandpa was born!
I worked at Maccas as a kid, and think I am the inventor of the sausage and cheese – everytime I walked through the kitchen during brekky I’d grab a hot sausage patty and a slice of cheese and stuff them in my mouth.
Congratulations Pete . You and the evolutionary process seem to have invented the McSmegma Party ( Pete ) Meal ?
Maybe, I might not get my own entry on Wikipedia though like this fancy McMuffin guy.
You definitely deserve an 8th place plaque imho
Little known also fact: Caroline Marks’s grandfather invented the Belgian Waffle. And thus began the great Marks-Peterson family feud which continues to this day.
Did he also invent Skid Marks on his undies ?
snort-laugh
Other little know fact to many… Caroline’s older brother started an online social media site because Caroline was getting bullied in school when they were kids. Grom Social grew to be worth $100mm dollars and Caroline’s brother was a multi-millionaire before 17 yo.
Working at maccas cured me of my virginity
Highly recommend it.
Ah the Busted McOnion ?
Yes, it hurt a bit…
As my uncle used to say ,”it won’t hurt, did it” ?
Catholic school for boys could’ve done the same.
It did.
That and free fries, mmm French fries
Keeping skells fed is the lord’s work–don’t knock it.
more impressed if her family invented the McRib
Something something “middle-aged muffin top”?

EGG HO BEACH by Martha and the McMuffins .
Now I am become death, the destroyer of fat cunts.
Vishnu the preserver ( no preservatives added ? ) .Who would have thought in 1945 that obesity would kill more people than the Bomb ?
Like being the granddaughter of an arms dealer but with more blood on his hands!
Ketchup?
McDonalds fan site?
Where you can get the skinny on McDonald’s.
Bring back the McRib!
“The best surfer in the U.S.”? Who do you think actually holds that distinction, and is Hawaii excluded?
Rankings tell the story, bru. Lakey, then Carisser.
Technically as Steph is still in Hawaii (presumably) Lakey is the second best woman surfer in the US. Taking gender out of it it would be laughable to state that Lakey would be in the top 50 of American surfers. I’m being pedantic; I’m on night shifts at the moment so I’ve apparently turned into a hater!
Lack of pussy can make one resent it..
And then pay for it.
Snap!
We only remove gender when it suits our purpose Jimmy!
Mainstream pub is just gona look at the rankings, for sure.
