If you’re bored dipping your McNuggets into the same old sauces, Macca’s has four new flavours on the way next month.
The “Sauces in July” promotion will see the fast food chain give Aussies the opportunity to dip and dunk into of limited-edition sauces. There’s the Cajun Sauce, which is described as having a “sweet yet tangy flavour”, containing a creamy blend of Dijon mustard, vinegar, honey and spices.
The sauce famously featured in the celebrity meal K-pop band BTS dropped in 2020. It sold out pretty fast that year, so it’s only right that it’s making a comeback.
There’s also the simply iconic Szechuan Sauce, which has been a favourite at overseas Macca’s since 1998 but hasn’t reached our shores until now. The sauce comes with an aromatic and rich blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil.
It was originally brought to Macca’s to celebrate the release of the simply iconic Mulan, and made a all-too-brief return in 2017 thanks to Rick & Morty turning the sauce into an inescapable meme.
Two more sauces are yet to be unveiled, although hopes should be high for something tasty after the first two reveals. “Sauces in July” kicks off on Wednesday, July 6th and runs until Tuesday, July 19th, which makes those two weeks a wise time to forego the burger order for some Chicken McNuggets instead.
The promotion is being preceded by a special online game, “Sauce Quest”, that will give hungry fans the chance to win their own supply of the new sauce flavours before they reach Macca’s restaurants.
