An old Saturday Night Live skit from 1978 featured John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, and Bill Murray as workers at the Olympia Restaurant.

No matter what the patrons ordered, there were only three items they could get.

Cheeseburger, chips, and Pepsi.

The skit’s humor came from the workers constantly yelling, “Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger!”

Which is a good thing to think about since September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a good deal somewhere, too.

Here are some fun cheeseburger facts:

What day was the cheeseburger invented?

While the exact date is unknown, the cheeseburger was invented in 1926 by Lionel Sternberger in Pasadena, California at his father’s sandwich shop called the “Rite Spot.”

What is the birthplace of the cheeseburger? 

Despite what you might hear from people from Kentucky, the cheeseburger was born in California at the aforementioned “Rite Spot” in Pasadena. This comes as no surprise with the Golden State’s heritage of Americana and car-dominated drive-in culture.

Is McDonald’s celebrating National Cheeseburger Day?

Stop me if you’ve heard this: Pricing and participation may vary. Some McDonald’s are indeed participating, but you’ll have to check the McDonald’s app to check if your local one is.

Why is it National Cheeseburger Day?

Certain days exist out of pure love (and hunger). But we celebrate them just the same. Cheeseburger Day falls in that hazy post-summer space between Labor Day and the fall equinox. Think of it as your final summer dining fling.

When is National Hamburger Day?

Dairy not your speed? You’re in luck! The next National Hamburger Day falls on May 28, 2021.
