10 Commandments

Do You Know More About Big Macs Or Commandments?

Pop quiz time…

Without looking, how many of the 10 Commandments can you name?

After you have had some time to come up with as many as you can, you can look at the full list here. How many did you get?

Now for question #2…how many of the ingredients can you name in the McDonald’s Big Mac hamburger?

Here’s the answer, did you get them all?

Did you know more Big Mac parts than Commandments? If so, you are not alone.

A survey by Kelton Research found that less than 60 percent of participants knew the commandment “thou shalt not kill,” but 80 percent could could name the Big Mac’s primary ingredient, two all-beef patties. 76 percent of respondents knew the popular burger has lettuce, 75 percent knew it has a sesame-seed bun, 66 percent special sauce, and 60 percent cheese, but just 45 percent could recall that God wants us to “honor thy father and mother.”

I am not really sure if this says more about American’s love for fast food or the power of a good jingle. Maybe people would remember the 10 commandments better if we somehow turned them into a song. Like this…

So what do you think? Does that help you remember the 10 commandments?

I watched that video twice before posting it today and I will say that it does have a toe-tapping tune. Only problem is that all I remember is the catchy way they counted to 10. Less than 20 percent of the song actually featured the actual commandments.

And I will have to check the Bible for confirmation, but I am questioning the accuracy of the song’s #8 “Don’t Steel.”

I don’t recall God having much of an issue with iron-carbon alloys.
