Lately McDonalds has done promotions for various celebrity "meals", gimmick orders by celebrities that I've barely heard of.
First with J Balvin (whoever that is)
And then Travis Scott.
These looked okay, but nothing REALLY special. Like, there's no special bun or meat made from something I hope was meat at one time. One was a Big Mac meal (sans pickles) with a McFlurry, the other was a Quarter Pounder meal with a Sprite and BBQ sauce. Pass.
And then came BTS.
You know, that Korean boy band whose fanbase combats conservative trolls by brigading twitter with gifs of them?
Well, they just dropped a meal, too.
It's just a 10 piece McNugget meal...but it comes with two sauces I've never encountered before: Sweet Chili and Cajun.
I knew I'd check these out eventually, but a positive review from former Simpsons writer & showrunner Bill Oakley made me want to check it out pronto.
And here it is! Again, just a McNugget meal. But the sauces...THE SAUCES.
Sweet Chili was like a spicy sweet & sour: tangy, but also really sweet and spicy. Cajun, meanwhile, was a mustard-based sauce that was also spicy. Both of them were pretty fantastic. I'm surprised they gave me two of each, usually fast food places are stingy with all their sauces these days. I took the extras home with me, they're definitely not gonna go to waste.
They were definitely better than when I tried Szechuan sauce when it got released a few years back.
That one tasted like sweet and sour mixed with teriyaki. I know some people like that kind of flavor, but I didn't.
These two sauces are way better. It's a definite recommend from me. Apparently it's only here until June 20th, but I'd grab it as soon as you can.
