McDonalds just pissed me off!

[snooper2]

First World Problem!

The ONE reason I go there instead of the Burger King next door...

Hot Mustard




Just grabbed some McCrap for lunch and I always get hot mustard to dip the fries in. The dude at the window said they don't have it anymore! WTF!

Some kind of conspiracy!

McDonald’s Hot Mustard Is Being Discontinued

Save McDonald’s Hot Mustard!

But first let’s go back to where my conspiracy theory about my perceived end of Hot Mustard’s Chicken McNugget reign began. Late last year McDonald’s introduced a bunch of new dipping sauces for their McNuggets. I’m usually suspicious when any restaurant introduces a new line or revamps anything. I think it’s the old magician’s trick of redirection, watch over here while I do this over there.

After discussing this with other folks who openly admit they eat them and are not closet fast food fans I came to a conclusion. Something is definitely up with the Hot Mustard. So I emailed and asked McDonald’s public relations company and was told it’s still part of the sauce line-up. That doesn’t make sense, why isn’t the sauce listed on the inside of the box then?

And let’s be honest, I didn’t for one second think they would just answer it’s on the outs. Something like that is done much more smoothly. And if it is about to become obsolete, should I stock up? Or… Will I be forced to make this copycat recipe to fill the sauce void left in my life?

1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[one_voice]

2. I do the same thing...

with my fries. Don't go there much but when I do I like the hot mustard for dipping fries. The buffalo sauce is ok to use too, but I like the hot mustard better.

Burger King has a spicy dipping sauce for their onion rings. I like it too.

3. Did you call 9-1-1?

5. After reading the ingredients - no thanks n/t

6. Story of my life!

Every time I really like a product (food, toothpaste, etc) "they" stop making it. McD's has a great new item on the dollar menu, Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger, really tasty and $1! I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.

7. Time to go Michael Douglas on their ass, snooper

8. "Mustard Seed" is the FIFTH ingredient! Yuck!

After water, HFCS, vinegar and soybean oil. Man...that's got about much mustard in it as McNuggets have actual chicken!

[snooper2]

9. But it's GOOD!

I'm going to have to find an underground hot mustard market before it is all gone-

I think the shelf life is like 408 years anyway

12. Mustard seed is strong stuff

Even if all the other ingredients were all-natural, organic, GMO-free and blessed by the Dalai Lama, you shouldn't expect mustard seed to be at the top of the list in order for it to be "real" mustard.

[Atman]

13. I'm well aware.

But I also wouldn't expect HFCS to be the second ingredient. I can't eat that stuff anyway...gives me mustard gas! Talk about "silent but deadly!"

[Silent3]

15. To the extent that I eat that stuff at all...

...and it's been many months since I've darkened the door of a McDonald's, maybe a year or two since my last McNugget... I use so little of the various dipping sauces at one sitting that I can't get too worried about their health effect on me, or even much momentary gastric distress.

Then again, I go lighter on all sorts of sauces and dressing that many people I know. I dip lightly, rather than using the aggressive scooping motion I see a lot of other people use, where so much sauce is picked up that they have to rush the food to their mouths before the sauce falls off.

Without some sauce, however, you'd be in danger of noticing that the nuggets themselves barely have any flavor of their own.

10. McD's mustard has the same relationship to mustard as McNuggets have to chicken.

None to speak of.

[pinboy3niner]

11. Mayor McCheese warned you to endorse him, but did you listen?

"Nice little hot mustard packet ya got there...be a shame if anything happened to it..."

[Bobbie Jo]

14. lol

Ok, that made me laugh.

[JVS]

16. Could this be a consequence of them no longer doing business with Heinz?

Maybe Heinz makes a hot mustard you can buy.

[pansypoo53219]

17. jeez, buy some mustard + add hot sauce.

i refuse to go to mcDs anymore. i was not impressed as a kid. only the HOT DEEP FRIED CHERRY PIE WAS GOOD. mcnuggets always pissed me off, where's the chicken?

[JoePhilly]

18. Mustard-gate!!!

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Do yourself a favor and buy some real hot mustard for 3 bucks and skip the

ingredient list on this one.

[Liberal_in_LA]

20. stop eating that crap

[ManiacJoe]

21. I must be living under a rock.

When did McD start having a "hot mustard" sauce?
