Time and again, McDonald's is touted for its signature burger, which owes much of its fame to the secret Big Mac Sauce. Now people can get their hands on just the dressing. It has recently been bottled to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The first Big Mac Sauce is being auctioned on eBay and is currently sitting at over $17,000 USD.
Of course, not everyone can afford such an expensive bottle of Big Mac Sauce. Those without deep pockets will be able to enjoy 600ml tubs across Australia at only US$0.39 each. However, there are only 200 being made, each of them numbered. The limited edition sauce may inspire other fast food companies to sell off their signature recipes in a unique way for promotional purposes or to raise money for a good cause as well.
