McDonald's fans loved the new dipping sauces, with many of them sharing their fondness for these items on Twitter. One fan wrote requesting McDonald's to make the new items permanent.
Hey @McDonaldsUK please keep the mega hot sauce as a permanent option. It’s soo good
Fans have not taken well to the news of the axing. Some fans were confused, as evident from this post that goes,
what happened to the mega hot sauce? Guessin a few complained it was too hot for them so it got pulled.
Many other Tweets expressed disappointment with the update,
I'm so sad to hear that Mega Hot Sauce and Garlic Mayo dips are being removed from McDonald's menus. These were my two favorite dips, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do without them.
It remains to be seen if the new dips being introduced from today would be as well-liked as these axed ones.
