Previously available only in select international markets like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK, the Double Big Mac is being offered in the U.S. for a limited time. Its arrival has sparked excitement online, with many fans eager to experience what McDonald’s calls “double the fun.”
Social media reactions have ranged from enthusiastic to curious. Comments like “I can’t wait!” and “I’ll take three, please!” highlight the growing anticipation. One humorous take even read, “I know I’ll feel full after one of these—but it’ll be worth it!”
Not everyone is on the same page, of course. Some social media users have expressed concern over the burger’s size and calorie content. At approximately 680 calories, the Double Big Mac is a more indulgent option, which McDonald’s recommends enjoying in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle.
In terms of cost, prices may vary by location. With recent reports noting that some McDonald’s menu items have increased in price, the Double Big Mac combo (including fries and a drink) could be priced higher than standard offerings, depending on the region.
While Australian customers are already familiar with “double” versions of menu staples—such as the Double Quarter Pounder and Double McChicken—this launch marks an exciting addition to McDonald’s lineup in the U.S. and offers American customers a taste of a beloved international favorite.
Whether you’re a longtime Big Mac fan or just curious to try something new, the Double Big Mac is one more reason to check out what McDonald’s has to offer this season.
