A burger is now available at all McDonald’s restaurants nationwide after already becoming “a hit” in several markets.
McDonald’s announced that the Daily Double will be available at all U.S. restaurants through the end of the year. It was already available at about 6,000 restaurants, the company told Nexstar, including locations in Chicago, Miami, and Seattle.
What is the Daily Double?
The burger is similar to the McDouble, featuring two all-beef patties, a slice of American cheese, and slivered onions, as well as shredded lettuce, mayo, and two slices of tomatoes.
Sound familiar? It may have been on the menu at your local McDonald’s before.
An online blog shows the Daily Double — with one slice of tomato instead of two — was introduced in 2012. Some on Reddit, however, said they’ve been ordering the burger since the 1990s. Others report that their restaurant has it under another name, the “McDouble Deluxe.”
If you wanted to add a “special razzle dazzle,” a Redditor suggested adding Big Mac sauce to your Daily Double.
The Big Mac was almost called something else entirely
Bundle it up
The Daily Double will additionally be on the McValue Meal Deal bundle. McDonald’s launched its value menu earlier this year, aiming to give patrons “more ways to enjoy the food they love, for less.”
The McValue menu, first announced in November, comprises nationwide, local, and app-based offers. As such, some offers — the local and app-based offers — may only be available to customers in certain regions or at certain franchise locations.
The Daily Double (which doesn’t have a daily limit on how many you can order, in case you’re wondering) will appear as an entrée option in the McValue Meal Deal bundle starting on July 22. “Priced at $6 or $7 depending on your local restaurant,” according to McDonald’s, the meal deal includes select entrees, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries, and a small soft drink.
Other new items
This isn’t the only new addition appearing on McDonald’s menus in July. After months and months of teasing, customer requests, and online campaigns, the Snack Wrap is returning on July 10.
It’s been several years since Snack Wraps were available in the U.S. The wraps — variations of which can still be found internationally — contained chicken, lettuce, and cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla. They launched in 2006 and were later followed by an Angus offering. The latter was dropped in 2013 as McDonald’s made menu changes, while the original Snack Wrap was removed in 2016 over complaints that it took too long to make.
Some individual franchises held onto the Snack Wraps, but in 2020, the offerings were removed from all U.S. McDonald’s restaurants.
Just what the heck is Grimace? McDonald’s has revealed the answer
McDonald’s has built a reputation for resurrecting retired offerings, like the McRib, the Holiday Pie, a dipping sauce initially launched as a promotion for a 1990s Disney movie, and Halloween pails.
The fast food giant did, however, just end a partnership with another restaurant chain, Krispy Kreme. Earlier this week, the pair announced they had decided to end their union, which brought doughnuts to select McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.
