McDonald's is throwing back the price of one of its most iconic items for a day. The Egg McMuffin is turning 50, with the company selling it at its original price of 63-cents during breakfast hours on Thursday. That goes from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Offered exclusively on the McDonald's app, the fast-food giant is encouraging customers to buy more food in order to customize the sandwich, such as using hash browns as muffins instead. Created in 1971 by California franchisee Herb Peterson, McDonald's brought the sandwich nationwide in 1975.
