And what makes it so ‘special’?Īs with the ‘ingredients’ list on any packet of food sold at a supermarket, the official McDonald’s website includes a list of the secret sauce’s ingredients, but it stops short of providing quantities. Shrouded in secrecy, the sauce is what makes a Big Mac a Big Mac. Today, the Big Mac can be ordered in every corner of the world, and although the exact ingredients and sizes change slightly from country to country, one crucial element remains consistent: the ‘special sauce’. The Big Mac (originally named ‘The Aristocrat’) was introduced in Pittsburgh in 1967, and has gone on to become a worldwide phenomenon. THE world’s most iconic burger celebrates its 50th birthday this year.
