It’s certainly no secret that we love food here at DFB — we are Disney FOOD Blog, at the end of the day.
But, it isn’t just Disney snacks and treats that tickle our fancy. In fact, some might say we love McDonald’s almost as much as we love Disney, too. A while back, McDonald’s slid into our DMs to tell us about some limited-time offerings and then disappeared like that one person you went on a date with who never called you again. Except this time, you got a text back.
That’s right — McDonald’s is back in our text messages filling us in on the latest and greatest eats coming to their restaurants and this time it’s all about the SAUCE! McDonald’s posted something cryptic on X / Twitter about sending them a text to get details on something special coming soon, and by the time we went to text them, we realized they had messaged us first. Come on, McDonald’s, isn’t that a little bit desperate? Just kidding, we are always desperate for you, McDonald’s
something SPECIALZ coming
text me at +1 (707) 932-4826 to be the first to know
— McDonald's (@McDonalds) July 1, 2024
We got a first text that read, “special message incoming from the halls of jujutsu high” followed by a photo and the announcement, “special grade garlic sauce out officially on 7.9 exclusively on the app.”
Now, we’re definitely not detectives, but judging by these texts it sounds like as of July 9th, there will be a new “special grade garlic sauce” rolling out at McDonald’s stores. But, it must be ordered on the McDonald’s app! We’re not too sure what this garlic sauce will taste like, but we’re excited about it either way.
And, while you’re there, make sure you grab a Happy Meal so you can score the latest toy.s NEW Despicable Me 4 Happy Meal Toys have landed at McDonald’s! Each Happy Meal features a tiny little Minion figurine, each with its own characteristics and more.
There are 10 different minion toys in total and each toy comes with an exclusive mission card that tells you a little more about your minion! Plus, the toys can be mixed and matched so you can change out their outfits and collect them all.
Stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog as we continue to bring you the latest news from McDonald’s and all things Disney!
ALERT! New Happy Meal Toys Just Landed at McDonald’s
