Big Changes for the Big Mac: McDonald's Iconic Sandwich Gets a Tasty Makeover!

For more than half a century, McDonald's has been serving its iconic Big Mac sandwich to customers around the world. The double-decker sandwich, made with two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, has become an institution in American fast food culture. However, McDonald's is now making changes to this beloved Big Mac, and we have the scoop. 🍔🍟

Big Changes for the Big Mac: McDonald's Iconic Sandwich Gets a Tasty Makeover!

The changes to the Big Mac are part of a broader update to McDonald's classic burgers. The fast-food giant announced that it would be making "small but tasty improvements" to the Big Mac, McDouble, classic cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, and hamburger.

The changes will include softer, freshly toasted buns, perfectly melted cheese, and a juicier, caramelized flavor from adding white onions to the patties while they're still on the grill. The Big Mac will also have more of its famous special sauce!

McDonald's has already rolled out the changes in Australia, Canada, and Belgium, and the company says that they have received "rave reviews." The fast-food chain has also introduced the updated sandwiches in some West Coast U.S. cities, with a full rollout expected by 2024.

These changes to the Big Mac and other classic burgers mark the latest updates to McDonald's menu. In 2018, the fast-food giant introduced cooked-to-order fresh beef for its Quarter Pounder with cheese, and in 2021, it added the McCrispy, a southern-style fried chicken sandwich, to its menu.

But it's not just the menu that's getting an update at McDonald's. The company has also made significant digital upgrades, such as introducing semi-automated stores, where customers can order ahead and skip the traditional drive-thru. These stores have room for customers to place to-go orders at kiosks and a shelf for pickup orders.
