McDonald’s Selling Limited Edition Special Sauce for First Time
Published at
McDonald’s(JERUSALEM) — At long last, what McDonald’s fans have been waiting for their whole lives is finally here: 25-milliliter tubes of Big Mac Special Sauce all to yourself.
“For too long Big Mac Special Sauce has been trapped in a beautiful, delicious burger — now we’ve set it free!” the company announced of the tube, which is nearly an ounce.
The fast food chain bottled up its beloved special sauce and started selling it in Australia on Monday. It will only be available at Australian stores until it sells out.
“Big Mac sauce is one of the most iconic McDonald’s ingredients and people often ask us where they can buy it, so we’re excited to be the first country in the world to offer tubs of Big Mac sauce to our customers,” McDonald’s CMO Australia Mark Lollback told the UK Metro newspaper.
It’s so iconic, in fact, McDonald’s is using it to raise money for its charity arm. A larger limited edition bottle of the special sauce has been listed on eBay to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
“With 500 ml to play with, you’ll have enough to impress your friends at dinner parties, cheat your way to cooking show fame, and get elected as Prime Minister!” according to the auction site listing.
It continues, “Everything tastes better when it tastes like the Big Mac.”
At the time of writing, one bottle boasted a bid of $18,000.
If you don’t live in Australia, don’t despair. In 2012, McDonald’s executive chef, Dan Coudreaut, released a YouTube video demonstrating step-by-step instructions on how to recreate the 40-year-old Big Mac and special sauce in your home kitchen.
