McDonald’s will temporarily offer Big Mac sauce as a dipping option

McDonald’s customers will soon be able to get Big Mac sauce on the side for dipping.

Dip cups with the “creamy, tangy, slightly sweet” sauce will appear on McDonald’s menus for a limited time, the fast food chain revealed Wednesday. The offer starts on 27 April at participating restaurants.

Customers who order Chicken McNuggets will be able to get the Big Mac sauce for dipping at no extra charge, the company said. All other menu items will be à la carte.

To get sauce dip cups, customers must use the McDonald’s app for ordering.

The chain known for its golden arches previously hinted at an imminent sauce-related announcement in a tweet Monday, saying, “I’ve just been told a naughty secret, please don’t message me asking what it is.” A photo that included a glimpse of the dip cup’s packaging was included.

The sauce’s origins date back to the late 60s, when the popular Big Mac was introduced.

The fast-food chain recently claimed it is making its “classic burgers even better” through several improvements, including softer buns, “juicier” caramelized onions and “perfectly” melted cheese. That includes Big Macs.

The company’s shares have increased by 10% since 2023 began. Over the past 12 months, the price has risen over 13%.
