McDonald's excites fans with 'stunning' new 'BIG BREKKIE BURGER' but there is a catch
MCDONALD’S has launched a brand new breakfast burger which looks absolutely stunning and has sent the internet into a tailspin, but there is a catch which has frustrated fans.
People are outraged at the availability of the burger
The “Big Brekkie Burger” has only been released in Australia stores and is made with a hash brown, melted cheese, a rasher of bacon and a fried egg.
It also includes a beef patty, a smothering of BBQ sauce and a toasted sesame bun. People took to social media to vent their frustration that it is only available down-under.
One Twitter user said: “Can we have this in the UK, please? Our office was well excited for breakfast tomorrow and now all super sad at what could have been.”
Another wrote: “Dudes, we need the Big Brekkie Burger in the UK now! Yours Sincerely, literally everyone!”
Another added: “Can’t sleep, instead I am googling whether Maccies’ Big Brekkie burger is available in the UK cause it looks stunning and I need one right now.”
And another said: “Oh my days, that Big Brekkie Burger at Maccies looks 15/10.”

The Big Brekkie burger is one of the most calorie-heavy items on the menu providing a whopping 796 calories per serving.
This is more than half the amount of daily calories recommended for the average woman and 270 more calories than a Big Mac.
McDonald's UK is not planning on introducing the burger
It also has 1,500mg of sodium, 50.3g of carbs, 17.6g of saturated fat, 45g of protein and 45.5g of fat per burger.
According to the Australian Healthy Food Guide, people should eat no more than 2,300mg of sodium, or 1,600mg if at risk of heart disease.
The burger is absolutely loaded with calories
McDonald’s UK is not planning on adding the much sought-after burger, but if you are making a trip to Australia then it is available until 10:30am.
It can be bought by itself, or as a meal with a drink and costs $6.95 (£3.90).
