Want a Free bottle of Special Sauce??

McDonald’s famous Big Mac sandwich has a brand-new look—and to commemorate the occasion, USA Today reports that the burger giant is giving away 10,000 bottles of its "Special Sauce" this Thursday, at select locations.

McDonald’s recently debuted the Mac Jr. and the Grand Mac, two limited-edition sandwiches that are essentially larger- and smaller-sized versions of their namesake. The Mac Jr. has a single patty with cheese (no middle bun layer) and Special Sauce, and the Grand Mac has thicker patties and extra cheese.

"We listened to our customers, who told us they wanted different ways to enjoy the one-of-a-kind Big Mac taste,” McDonald’s chef Mike Haracz explained in a press release.

The Special Sauce giveaway locations won’t be officially announced until Wednesday, January 25, but WTOP News reports that bottles will be handed out to customers on a first-come-first-served basis, if they say the phrase, “There’s a Big Mac for that.”

I doubt it reaches the quality of Kraft. Some lesser known store brand seems more accurate. But it's been over a decade since I've had a Big Mac, so maybe they're less shitty than I remember.

It's been a lot longer than that for me. Probably 20 years or more. Wasn't the creator a Spartan who just died recently or was it a different burger?

The only Michigan connection I know of to one of their sandwiches was the Filet o Fish guy. He vacationed by Gaylord and left land and $$ there when he died. I think they might have retired to Gaylord actually.
