UPDATED with instructions on how to score a bottle of Big Mac Special Sauce. The mystery surrounding McDonald’s big surprise announcement on January 26, 2017 has been revealed, and it’s deliciously saucy: 10,000 bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce!

To celebrate the launch of the two new Big Mac sizes – Grand Mac and Mac Jr. – McDonald’s will be giving away 10,000 bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce on Thursday.

The mystery all started when McDonald’s issued a teaser on social media last week that referred to a special announcement on January 26, 2017 – accompanied by an image of the date “01.26.17.” Initially, the date numbers appeared to be spelled out with Big Macs or fries, but now we know those date numbers are spelled out with 10,000 bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce.

How to score a bottle of Big Mac Special Sauce

To score a bottle of Big Mac Special Sauce you’ll have to visit a participating location and say, “There’s a Big Mac for that.” No purchase is required to receive the sauce.



The giveaway will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

McDonald’s will also be offering fans who aren’t near a location where the bottles are being given away a chance to score a bottle by following McDonald’s on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. There will also be a Big Mac iMessage app available where you can find the nearest McDonald’s in your area location hosting a sauce giveaway.

If you want to get your hands on one of these individually numbered, limited-edition collector bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce – stay tuned. McDonald’s plans to reveal details on where and when you might get one on Wednesday, January 25, 2017.
