McDonald’s has introduced its new Big Arch burger, its “biggest and boldest” hamburger yet, which has drawn public interest over its size – and by a tiny bite taste-test video by CEO Chris Kempczinski that’s gone viral.
The burger was released on March 3 for what McDonald’s says is a limited time only.
Big is the keyword for the Big Arch, which has two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melted white cheddar cheese, and a new condiment called Big Arch sauce.
It also has 1,020 calories, or half of the Food and Drug Administration’s recommended daily intake of 2,000 calories.
No one expects hamburgers to be healthy, but Kempczinski’s video of him tasting the burger was roasted online. The video prompted some unexpected playground-level teasing and a surge in Big Arch interest.
