You can, finally, buy McDonald’s Big Mac sauce in tubs (kind of)

Big Mac sauce is one of those fast-food items that we’d love to see available for purchase. Now, McDonald’s have gone ahead and bottled their distinctive sauce for the first time - in Australia.

Yes, the same market that got the impressive build-your-own gourmet burger service at the fast food giant is now getting takeaway tubs of the special sauce.

There are two ways to get your fix down under - restaurants will sell teeny-tiny 25ml tubs for a mere 50c, and use them to dunk your fries in.

OR, you can bid on limited-edition 500ml bottles, of which there are only 200, with all proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald House children's charity.

The current bid for bottle 1 of 200? A mere AUD $23,100, with eight days left.

In case you need the maths done for you, the same amount of sauce in 25ml tubs would cost you $10.

"This bottle is #1 of only 200 being produced worldwide, and they won't be sold in restaurants," the eBay listing reads. "That makes it rarer than a spot on Bondi beach on New Years Day."

It will, however, only ship within Australia.

Still, since we can't buy it here in Ireland, you can make a reasonably good approximation with ketchup and French dressing, trying one of the many copycat recipes available online.

Or, if you're extra lucky, one of the staff members might pour you some - though they're not supposed to. Sshhh.
