The Big Classic sandwich was a hamburger sold by the international fast-food restaurant chain Wendy's. The sandwich was intended to present a larger, meatier burger that appealed to the 18-36 year old male demographic that desired a "heartier" product.[1] It is one of only two named hamburger products sold by the company and was designed to compete against the Burger King Whopper sandwich.

[edit] History
The Big Classic was introduced in September 1986 as part of a line of sandwiches that were launched during a major corporate restructuring of Wendy's. [1] Some years later the recipe was changed so that two strips of bacon were added to the build, and the name changed to the Big Bacon Classic.[2] It was replaced with the Baconator in June 2007.
