Damn those lucky people living in Australia.

Why do people keep going back to McDonald’s? Yes, it’s the Happy Meal toys probably that indescribable flavour that gets those tastes buds a-tingling.

That unique flavour is in the sauce, the special sauce, the secret sauce that’s been easing our hangovers for years.

However, it’s a momentous day people because McDonald’s Big Mac sauce is now available to buy… in Australia.

Maccy D’s in Oz will give out the sauce in dip-size tubs, but there are also 200 limted edition 500ml bottles of the sauce for sale.

Flying to Australia to get your mitts on the sauce is obviously a ludicrous idea… but if you’re up for it?
