For years, Big Mac fans have been trying to replicate the unique Big Mac special sauce, that addictive blend of relish, mustard, onion, garlic and other ingredients (instant happiness tinged with lingering regret?)

Now, for a limited time only, Big Mac aficionados will be able to buy the special sauce in takeaway tubs. As long as they live in Australia. Oh, FFS.

For the month of February, McDonald’s Australia is selling special sauce in 25ml tubs, from 920 of its stores, for a bargain 50 cents.

‘Big Mac sauce is one of the most iconic McDonald’s ingredients and people often ask us where they can buy it, so we’re excited to be the first country in the world to offer tubs of Big Mac sauce to our customers,’ said McDonald’s CMO Australia Mark Lollback.

In addition, Maccy D’s is auctioning off a 500ml bottle of the special sauce on eBay (again, only open to Australians) in aid of Ronald McDonald House Charities. The listing currently has a top bid of AU $23,100 (just under £12,000).

We can only hope that the success of the limited edition run (there are only 600 tubs per store available) will lead Maccy’s to launch the sauce in supermarkets (a la Nando’s), or at least bring the offer to the UK.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to find some Antipodean friends who are prepared to buy in bulk.
