It comes in a fancy wooden box.


Sick of Sriracha? Need a new sauce to squirt on everything? You're in luck: According to the Independent, McDonald's is finally selling bottles of its super secret, questionably orange, Big Mac Special Sauce. Yes, now you can make everything taste like hangovers and broken childhood memories. Until now, the only way customers could get their hands on the sauce was to eat copious amounts of Big Macs, or attempt to make one of the thousands of copycat recipes.


Only 200 500ml bottles are being produced and the first is currently up for grabs on eBay. If you have nearly $18,000 to blow that is. Currently, the bid is at $23,000 AUD ($18,056 USD) with eight days left to go, and all proceeds will go to charity. The description on eBay might just sell you on the hefty price tag: It promises that the sauce will make everything taste better — including Hungarian Goulash and "your boyfriend's gross lasagne" — because it will all just taste like a Big Mac. Plus with 500ml to experiment 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!"


If you miss your chance on eBay (or don't want to drop thousands of dollars) and can get to Australia, Metro writes that McDonald's will sell 600 25ml tubs of the sauce in locations around the country for just 50 cents ($.39 USD). The Independent notes that lines will probably be around the block. Perhaps if McDonald's sold the sauce full time, it could save the struggling chain from financial ruin.

FAST FOODBottles of McDonald's Big Mac Sauce sell out in minutes

Big Mac Sauce sold by the bottle is selling on auction sites for $100.*(McDonald's)

For those who dream of having the coveted Big Mac special sauce always on hand, McDonald’s in Australia released a limited-run sold in bottles.


But as almost as soon as the 500ml bottles went on sale, entrepreneurial buyers snatched them up and began selling them on auction sites such as Gumtree for 20 times the retail price.

The Daily Mail reports that 4,000 bottles of souped up Russian dressing, which went for $4.99 each, sold out in 15 minutes from select stores*Down Under when they went on sale at midnight on Saturday.

Within minutes, the iconic sauce began appearing on Gumtree for up to $100.


Select McDonald's restaurants in Australia sold out of the 4,000 bottles in about 15 minutes.

One Gumtree user, known only as Luke in Australia, wrote:

“This Big Mac special sauce tastes so good I just had to share it with you! Brand new and sealed for freshness.”

This isn’t the first time Ronald McDonald has made his special sauce available in a bottle. Last year, the chain in Australia sold a number of limited edition bottles on eBay,some of which went for as much as $18,000.

If you don't want to blow a Benjamin for Big Mac sauce, we do have a pro tip for you: you can request the sauce be put on virtually any item at your nearest McDonald’s loca

I haven't had chicken nuggets from McDonald's since they ignorantly took away their Hot Mustard & never will again unless they bring it back.

when I started at McDonald's in 74, Big Mac & Tarter sauce were dairy based products that required refrigeration. By time I left there in 80/81, they were prepackaged with a long shelf life and simply stored in cardboard boxes in the stockroom.

Lettuce and onions were purchased at the local produce store, then shred and diced in 74. Before I left, lettuce was pre-shredded and shipped in plastic bags while onions were dehydrated, simply add water.

Guys before me talked about slicing fresh potatoes to make french fries.

When they started with breakfast, we actually used to crack fresh eggs to make all the egg based meals.



I can't imagine what has changed in the last 35 years
