SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — To get you come into McDonald’s and buy new versions of its Big Mac, the chain is giving away 10,000 bottles of its trademark special sauce for people to use at home.
The move is to celebrate the introduction of the Mac Jr. and the Grand Mac, two different-sized variations of the classic sandwich.
The giveaway is a first in the United States.

Oak Brook-based 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.”
The bottles will be available Thursday at participating locations nationwide.
To get a limited edition bottle, you can follow McDonalds social media page or download the Big Mac Special Sauce Finder iMessage app.
When in McDonalds, customers must share the secret code “There’s a Big Mac for that” to a crew member for a chance to get their hands on one of the exclusive bottles that will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis.
