Fast Food Secret Sauces: Secret No More!

Of course, so much secrecy and subterfuge is all for naught. According to the Daily Mail, the recipe for Big Mac special sauce has existed online "for years," and it's even available on McDonald's website. And it's all thanks to former executive chef Dan Coudreaut. (Way to take the fun out of it, Coudreaut.) Aside from exposing what's supposed to be a well-guarded secret to the world, this revelation goes one step further to take all the specialness out of the sauce by divulging just what the ingredients are. Talk about a buzzkill. Everything needed to make McDonald's special sauce can be bought at the "local grocery store." Seriously, it's nothing more than mayonnaise, mustard, and relish, with some other spices thrown in. Why, there's nothing special about that at all! What's worse, these publicized pieces of privileged information pretty much all contain the same main ingredients, with a few minor differences in spice quantities. So now that the cat's out of the bag for the Big Mac, it seems only fair to spoil a few more childhood favorites.
