McDonald’s fan-favorite Double Big Mac makes long-awaited but limited return
McDonald’s on Tuesday announced it’s bringing back its gut-busting Double Big Mac after nearly four years off the menu.
“Did someone order a glow up?” the fast-food giant asked in a press release. “McDonald’s legendary Big Mac is getting bigger (and saucier) in 2024.”
The supersized burger — featuring four beef patties instead of the usual two, and more Big Mac sauce — will be sold again at participating restaurants nationwide for a limited time starting Jan. 24. The Double Big Mac includes regular Big Mac toppings such as pickles, shredded lettuce, chopped onions and American cheese, but is being billed as “double the fun.”
It reportedly boasts 740 calories.
The Double Big Mac was first introduced in March 2020 just before the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, right before many businesses were forced to start cutting back hours and menu offerings, according to CNN.
McDonald’s hasn’t announced how much the Double Big Mac will cost, which restaurants will carry it, or exactly how long it’ll stick around.
Last month, CEO Chris Kempczinski told CNN that customers were craving bigger burgers, and teased that the chain was working to address that demand.
