The Big Mac has been a staple of western civilisation for as long as I’ve been alive and it’s well known that the best part of that delicious double burger combo is that special sauce that nobody has ever been able to truly replicate.

Unfortunately, there’s no recipe for how you’re supposed to mix that all up together to make the perfect Big Mac sauce, so it might take a while for you to figure it out if you’re even able to get your hands on all of them. Goddammit.

There is a solution though, as you could always try this much simpler method that only uses seven ingredients and has instructions. Apparently it’s just as good, but just not the real thing unfortunately.
