It's safe to say Americans are losing their minds as they try to get their hands on the classic burger from McDonald's menus in Australia.
The hamburger giant just announced that the Double Big Mac will be available for a limited time at all U.S. stores starting January 24th.
Australians are familiar with this hectic burger, packed with four beef patties and the brand's signature Big Mac sauce, and it's been a permanent fixture on the menu since March 2020.
Now, fast food lovers in the northern hemisphere can get their hands on a huge menu item that McDonald's describes as “double the fun” to thrill their taste buds.
But while some customers have welcomed the sandwich, others have labeled it “disgusting.”
One excited American wrote on Facebook: “You'll feel disgusted after eating one, but I'm sure you'll enjoy every minute.”
“Ooh! I can't wait!” one person wrote, while another said: “Three please.”
Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, were similarly enthusiastic.
Some argue that Americans, who have the highest obesity rate in the world, probably didn't need such “obscene” burgers.
“The rest of the world is right about Americans,” one person lamented.
“That's right, we have to gain more weight, thank you,” someone else reasoned.
one person asked: “Are they going to call this a heart attack?”
As many have noted, the Double Big Mac, topped with pickles, lettuce, onions, and American cheese and sandwiched in a sesame-seed bun, has been sold in multiple countries around the world, including Australia and New Zealand, for some time. There is.
“You can get this in Canada too. It's deadly,” one person commented.
“I'm from England and you can buy it here,” chimed in another.
This monster burger contains 680 calories, and reports say customers could see a price increase of more than $20 after the global franchise increases its domestic prices by 14 percent in the third quarter of 2023. .
One U.S. branch charged up to $18 for a Big Mac combo that included medium fries and a medium soft drink, the Post reported in October.
This isn't the first time I've had a chance to try the extra-large Double Big Mac burger in the US market. It was sold for a limited time in 2020 and was well received.
Australians can purchase several classic McDonald's burgers in 'double' sizes, including the 'Double Quarter Pounder', 'Double McChicken' and 'Double Filet-O-Fish'.
