McDonald’s originally conceived of this sandwich to appeal to Catholics, who traditionally abstain from eating any meat except fish on Fridays, as well as the 40-day period of Lent. In the 1960s, when the practice was common amongst Catholics, McDonald’s restaurants in predominantly Catholic markets, such as Cincinnati and Boston, saw a significant decrease in sales of their menu, which was primarily burgers. Thus, this menu item debuted as a way to bring in Catholics and keep sales up each day of the week.
