McDonald's is reportedly introducing the Double Big Mac at participating restaurants across the US for a limited time starting January 24. This sandwich boasts an increased quantity of all-beef patties, totaling four, complemented by an extra serving of Big Mac sauce, along with pickles, lettuce, and chopped onions – although the cheese remains the same, with one slice positioned beneath the lower pair of patties, as per a USA Today report.
Details regarding pricing and specific markets receiving the sandwich were not promptly addressed by McDonald's in response to inquiries.
The Double Big Mac has previously made appearances on McDonald's menus in Canada and Great Britain, as highlighted by reports from Nation's Restaurant News. Although the sandwich was initially introduced in the US in March 2020, its launch was disrupted by the pandemic, leading to its limited availability at that time.
Meanwhile, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski last week said that several markets in the Middle East and some outside the region were experiencing a «meaningful business impact» due to the Israel-Hamas conflict as well as «associated misinformation» about the brand.
Major Western fast-food chains including McDonald's and Starbucks have seen largely spontaneous, grassroots boycott campaigns over their perceived pro-Israeli stance and alleged financial ties to Israel.
Kempczinski said the misinformation surrounding brands like McDonald's was «disheartening and ill-founded.»
