- I've heard my patients talk about exercising to "burn off the Big Mac" they ate for lunch or for that key lime pie they demolished last night.

- Big Mac
- 2014 September 5, Jacob Gudiol, “”Riskerna med sötningsmedel är överdrivna” ["The risks of sweeteners are exaggerated."]”, in Svenska Dagbladet:
- Den enda formen av studier där man sett ett samband mellan drycker sötade med sötningsmedel och högre vikt är så kallad epidemiologi. Det du har där är ett exempel på besökaren som beställer två Big Mac med stor pommes och sen tar en lightläsk till det. Det är alltså en association.
- The only type of study where a connection has been observed between drinks sweetened with artificial sweeteners and higher weight is so-called epidemiology. What you have there is an example of a visitor ordering two Big Macs with large fries and then having a diet soda with it. It's therefore an association.
- 2020 September 15, Fredrik Andersson, Sven Bertil Liljegren, “Världens bäst betalda: Messis monsterlön - 39 Big Mac i minuten [The world's highest paid: Messi's monstrous salary - 39 Big Macs per minute]”, in Fotbollskanalen.se[1]:
- Skulle det till exempel kurra i magen kan Lionel Messi unna sig och sina 38 bästa vänner en Big Mac i minuten, varje minut, dygnet runt - 365 dagar om året.
- If, for example, Lionel Messi's stomach were to rumble, he could treat himself and his 38 best friends to a Big Mac per minute, every minute, around the clock - 365 days a year.
- 2023 October 11, Henrik Ekblom Ystén, “När Stephen King ringde Hans-Åke [When Stephen King called Hans-Åke]”, in Vi:
- Han har inte alltid själv gjort så mycket för att nyansera bilden – förr brukade han säga att han var litteraturens motsvarighet till Big Mac & Co – men på senare år har han faktiskt börjat avlägsna sig mer från skräcken.
- He hasn't always done much to nuance the image himself – before he used to say he was the literary equivalent of Big Mac meal – but in recent years, he has actually started to distance himself more from horror.
