SAN FRANCISCO >> Giveaway bottles of McDonald’s trademark special sauce are selling online for thousands of dollars, including one listing for $10,000.
To draw customers to McDonald’s to buy new versions of its Big Mac, the chain today is giving away 10,000 bottles of its trademark special sauce for people to use at home.
People have snapped them up and are now hawking them on eBay for hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
The giveaway celebrates the introduction of the Mac Jr. and the Grand Mac, two different-sized variations of the classic sandwich.
McDonald’s introduced the Big Mac in 1968. In 1975, the special sauce got its own callout in the signature Big Mac commercial, touting the burger’s components —“Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.”

Special sauce? Give me a break. I give you my special sauce: Ketchup, Worcestershire, egg, Tabasco, olive oil,……..
I don’t even go McD.
So, great, we’ll go all go then.
Geesh, Thousand Island dressing just as good, if not better.
I always thought it was Thousand Island dressing. Who would pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for this stuff, anyway?
There’s one born every minute.
I always thought the same with maybe a small extra ingredient.
If you have billions, you don’t care about prices.
Is this what they call “fake news”?
too bad it wasn’t fake
I get “special” sauce too!!! Anybody like try?!!!
Gross!
Sucka`s born every day.
TWO BASIC INGREDIENTS TO START: MAYONNAISE AND SWEET PICKLE RELISH….
Mayo and ketchup is enough. You don’t need any floating islands of unknown stuff alleged to be pickles.
Just ask Abby of NCIS…she found out what’s in the special sauce. lol
Publicity stunt! No one cares to buy their secret sauce, buyers are probably shill bidders and might even be tied to MCD. Besides even if there is a legitimate buyer, what are they going to put the 4,000 calories per tablespoon sauce on? A salad? LOL
