It's similar to how Doritos were invented. A breakfast restaurant in Frontierland added them to the menu after someone suggested they slice and use as buns the leftover english muffins instead of throwing them out. McDonald's didn't find out about them until a few years later, and then they started mass producing them when they realized how popular they were
At least that's the story, I'm not a McDonald's historian.
