McDonald's has announced it is bringing the Grand Big Mac with bacon for a limited time.
The fast food chain revealed that the new menu addition will appear in UK branches from Wednesday 29 January for eight weeks, ending the run on 24 March, 2020.
The burger features all the components of the tasty Big Mac - only bigger - and this time around it also feature the added bonus of bacon to make it even more irresistible. We're salivating just thinking about it.
The cost of the burger on its own will set customers back £4.39, and for anyone adding bacon it will cost slightly more at £4.79.
The launch will also coincide with McDonald's launching its limited run of Big Mac dipping sauces in UK stores for the first time.
From 12 February, burger fans will be able to buy Big Mac 'secret recipe sauce' dipping pots for 50p, however there will be very limited amounts available in branches across the country, so it's likely they will sell out fast.
Over the years the the iconic ingredient to one of McDonald's oldest and most popular menu items has garnered a cult following. A bottle of the sauce even managed to fetch a whopping £65,000 on eBay after a two-week bidding frenzy, raising money for charity in the process.
Thomas O’Neill, Head of Food Marketing at McDonald’s UK&I, said: “As our most iconic McDonald’s product, we are excited to be bringing back this twist on our classic Big Mac®, so fans can spend longer with the taste they love this Winter. It’s a firm favourite among our customers and we are delighted to bring it back once more for a limited time.
“The reaction to the news of our forthcoming limited run of Big Mac Special Sauce dipping pots has been fantastic. We are working hard to produce as much as we can before the launch in a few weeks in order to give as many people as possible the chance to enjoy Big Mac Special Sauce with all of their favourite menu items.”
Earlier this month McDonald's rolled out 24 daily deals for hungry customers to enjoy over 23 days - making January a little bit more bearable.
The popular Appy Days promotion included free hot drinks and bacon rolls, 99p Big Mac burgers and free cheese melt dippers among a slew of other promotions that were available across 1,200 restaurants.
