McDonald's Australia selling Big Mac Sauce by the bottle:

In a follow-up to last year's sale of dipping cups and limited edition bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce, McDonald's Australia today adds 500ml bottles of the sauce to the menu for a limited run.

This time around the bottles are better stocked and much more affordable. McDonald's is offering the 4,000 bottles of the iconic sauce in 40 restaurants around Australia, while supplies last.

The price tag on the bottles is $4.95 US (compared to a bid of over $18,000 for one of the limited-edition bottles last year). Still, with only 4,000 bottles to go around, they're likely to run out fast.

$4.95? The guy who paid $18,000 for one is probably feeling regretful.

 

[smurfx]

i want them to sell their bbq sauce and chipotle bbq sauce.

 

[Drkirby]

How did a bottle go for $18k? Couldn't you just ask an employee to sell you the sauce straight up?

 

[C-Drive]

Thousand Island Dressing?

 

[Moonkeis]

If you are at McD, double cheese burger with mac sauce...done.

Man I hope it was charity.

Wished they bottled their honey mustard sauce instead

Big Mac sauce is sooo easy to make. And you can make it sugar free (minus the sugar in the relish and ketchup), since I find the sugar doesn't really add anything to the sauce.

Ketchup (tiny bit)
Mustard
Mayo
Relish (I use dill, but the proper is sweet. I don't like sweet relish)
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper


From there I add a touch of cayenne and maybe some dijon mustard, but those aren't required.

 

[HardRojo]

I hope they release that over here (Peru) too and for good price. I love me some Big Mac sauce.

How many McDs do you guys have there? I was in Arequipa and the rest of the South and only saw 1 Burger King, 1 Pizza Hut, and 1 KFC. All in the Saga Falabella in Arequipa. And that shit was expensive!

ketchup doesn't cut it.....french dressing actually works better, this is the recipe I use.


1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons French dressing
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

I'd like a bottle of their Spicy Buffalo Sauce. It's not actually very spicy, but it does taste good. Also has the most amazing orange color.

 

[soundscream]

i want them to sell their bbq sauce and chipotle bbq sauce.

You can probably find 20 better bbq sauces at any grocery store.

 

[kitschykitty]

Well I'd buy it if I could in my region, I'll occasionally just make something similar anyways.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

If you are at McD, double cheese burger with mac sauce...done.

They upcharge you for that as well, like 30 cents or something.

$4.95 is a steal in comparison!

Are you joking? I mean, I can see the similarity but they are also noticeably different.

 

[mf.luder]

Thousand Island Dressing?

Just need to leave it in the sun for a bit.

 

[keffri]

I never liked that stuff.

 

[DOWN]

That's significantly different

 

[Azzurri]

Thousand Island Dressing?

My thoughts exactly

That's not what big mac sauce is.

 

[Indicate]

I agree with the other posters that it's better to make your own.

 

[Lord Virgin]

I worked at McDonalds for like 10 months or so. Best part was creating my own burger to eat during breaks, I've done things..... The 'milk' they use for their milkshakes? That shit is Godtier.

The McChicken sauce is best tho. Don't really care for the Big Mac sauce.

This should be the first reply.

 

[Pachinko]

Big mac sauce is closer to Mayonaise/ketchup/relish mixed together than simply thousand island dressing. The dressing is much stronger for one thing.

 

[Rest]

The sauce is what has chunks of weird shit in it? I've only ever tried Big Macs twice, and those chunks always grossed me out. They felt like stale cabbage or something, and tasted weird. So, to me, this is McDonald's selling the worst part of their food to the public directly.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

$4.95 USD? Brb Gaf, going to my local Maccas to buy some sauce for $6,200,000 AUD.

 

[commedieu]

That's not what big mac sauce is.

yea, it has a ton more sugar.

 

[TwoDurans]

Isn't it just Thousand Island dressing?

 

[entremet]

Big Mac sauce is basically Fry Sauce.

You can see who knows their Simpsons or not lol

Put some mayonnaise in the sun.

That looks pretty tasty...

Uh, if you put thousand island dressing on your burger , then you're in for some runny shit.

It's hilarious when you say this because that's essentially what thousand island dressing is, lol.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Gimme sat sweet and sour sauce in a bottle instead

The "chunks" are just onion and relish.

Wow, I hope so. He could have bought 20 big macs and just scraped off the sauce as well. Or asked a kid who worked the grill to slide him a box of it for $50.

Crazy.

I love how they basically give you a reason to not go to McDonald's and just make it yourself (which probably tastes better, too).

Because they know most people are still coming to the restaurant anyway.

Never had that issue with my burgers. Thousand island is my preferred sauce topping for a burger.

Put that on a burger and tell me it's a Big Mac.

 

[see5harp]

Big Mac sauce isn't Thousand Island Dressing

I understand it isn't the exact same thing. It's extremely close, especially on a burger with a ton of other shit on it. It's like saying in and out animal style isn't just thousand island. It's Ketchup, mayo, relish and vinegar.

 

[FindMyFarms]

The reason to go isn't the burger, it's the convenience.

 

[Deleted member 18827]

You've always been able to get big Mac sauce separately, so not sure why this is a big deal?
