Fast food and fashion feel like diametric opposites, yet McDonald's has just brought the two worlds together with a line of Big Mac-inspired merch. Teaming up with cult Japanese retailer Beams, the nugget aficionados have created a line of t-shirts, bags, phone cases and hats. To celebrate this fat-free junk food fix, McDonald's will also be selling 300 jars of its Big Mac sauce.
To get your hands on the merch, head to Japanese website Rakuten who – lucky for us – ship internationally. For just 1900Yen (or, £13) you can get your hands on a jar of Mac dressing. But, you better act fast as they are only selling 300 of each item. Best of all, this is a guilt-free junk food purchase as sales of the dressing and Beams collaboration will be donated to charity.
The burger giants have always been secretive about what goes into their special sauce. And, while many have tried to decode the recipe on taste alone, the bosses at the golden arch HQ have never revealed it. But, this past weekend, along with announcing the limited-edition merchandise, they revealed the ingredients that make up Big Mac Sauce. For the curious amongst us, its: (Processed starch, xanthan), coloring (turmeric pigment, caramel, paprika pigment), sugar, spice, salt, protein hydrolyzate / thickening agent (processed starch, xanthan), edible vegetable fat, pickles, mustard, egg yolk, onion, Preservative (sorbic acid K), fragrance, spice extract, (including eggs / soybeans in part). So, if you miss out on the jars of sauce, at least you're one step closer to knowing the mysterious recipe.
