Steven Howells, Head of Marketing at McDonald’s UK, says of the news: “As an iconic McDonald’s product, we are proud and excited to be celebrating 50 years of the legendary Big Mac and for the first time ever in the UK, introducing the two new sizes for a limited time.”
“We know a lot of our customers will remember the 1974 launch of the Big Mac in the UK and have continued to enjoy the burger and pass the Big Mac love on since then, it remains our most iconic burger!”
Recently, Big Narstie starred alongside Lady Leshurr in an advert for the 50th anniversary of the Big Mac. It saw the pair in a rap battle, trying to list of all the ingredients of the iconic burger. Watch beneath.
