Why the Internet is going wild for this $3 Coles product
Ever since McDonalds debuted their Big Mac (“Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun”), fans have been trying to recreate its famous special sauce, to no avail.
But now, Big Mac lovers might have finally gotten what they’ve been waiting for.
Social media users are singing the praises of a $2.75 bottle of “Special Burger Sauce” from Coles, which they say tastes “exactly the same” as that used on a Big Mac – some are even saying they no longer need the real thing!
Don’t need McDonalds Big Mac sauce anymore! Thanks @Coles 👌 pic.twitter.com/QDsOosSGAd

Speaking to BuzzFeed, a Coles spokesperson didn’t confirm whether the sauce was intended to be a Big Mac sauce replica, but did say their product development team “worked on the sauce for 18 months” and are always “closely monitoring emerging food trends”.
So, if you love Big Macs, give the sauce a go and let us know what you think!
