With the grand return of the McRib, and an upcoming festive menu in the works, McDonald’s has been gifting fans with lots of new items in recent weeks.
And now, everyone’s favourite fast-food chain have just dropped yet another surprise.
After a brief reappearance this summer, the Double Big Mac is back once more, available for a limited time only.
The fan-favourite burger is perfect for those who love the OG Big Mac – it features double the beef with four 100% British and Irish beef patties, double the special Big Mac sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun.
You can get it from participating stores nationwide, but you’ll have to be quick, as it’s only available for two weeks, until November 19.
And while the Double Big Mac certainly has its fans, with people online dubbing it’yummy’ and ‘God tier’, it’s got its fair share of haters too.
The burger has been called ‘boring’ and there’s an entire sub Reddit dedicated to people sharing their dissapointment.
‘They just jammed two extra patties on the bottom bunk of an already made Big Mac and made a mess,’ as one Redditor eloquently put it. Over on X, commenters called it ‘mediocre’.
And the truth is, there’s an entirely different burger that people really want to see make a comeback. That crown goes to the one and only, the Big Tasty.
McDonald’s call the beloved burger ‘a savoury delight’, made with ‘100% beef patty, cheese made with Emmental, onions, juicy tomatoes, smoky sauce on a freshly toasted bun.’
But online, fans will find that the Big Tasty is ‘gone, but not forgotten.’ It was last seen on menus in March.
Back in 2020, when The Double Big Mac was first launched in the UK, McDonald’s shared the news on X (then, Twitter), only to be met by a swathe of comments asking for The Big Tasty instead.
‘But the people wanted the Big Tasty,’ wrote Aaron Fox. ‘Don’t want a stinking double Mac. Want the Big Tasty,’ added user @Bombilly_.
Meanwhile, another X user considered a more aggressive approach: ‘”Grabs back of McDonald’s’ head.” WHERE (SLAM) IS (SLAM) BIG (SLAM) TASTY AT??’
The same sentiment has been shared on Reddit: ‘F*cking Big Tastys are the only thing worth getting from McDonald’s and they inexplicably take it away for nonsense burgers.’
But, all hope is not lost for the Big Tasty stans out there.
McDonald’s Christmas offerings will be officially announced this month, and rumours are already circulating that the Big Tasty could be part of the much-anticipated line-up.
So, watch this space…
