McDonald’s Launches Savory Chili Sauce
In collaboration with some of the biggest names in anime, McDonald’s will be transforming into WcDonald’s, the fictional restaurant that the anime fandom has created. According to the press release, with this temporary rebranding comes “a new sauce, manga-inspired packaging, episodic shorts, and so much more.”
The Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce will be available for a limited time only. The statement describes the new menu item as a “unique combination of ginger, garlic, and soy with a slight heat from chili flakes” that “packs an energetic blast of flavor in every bite.”
"Mirroring the bold, dynamic spirit of your favorite anime heroes, the sauce pairs perfectly with an order of 10-piece 'WcNuggets,'" the statement continues.
