Being an (I hate to admit it) ex-employee of McDonald's I can tell you
exactly what goes into a Big Mac, having made thousands of them.
Starting from the top:

1) Top bun
2) Onions
3) Patty
4) Pickles
5) Lettuce
6) Sauce
7) Middle bun
8) Onions
9) Patty
10) Cheese
11) Lettuce
12) Sauce
13) Bottom bun

So as you can see (wouldn't my ex-manager be proud of me) that there
are in fact 13 layers in a Big Mac.
