McDonald's to axe two popular dipping sauces from today, but fans will not be happy

McDonald's has just announced a refreshing start to the warmer months ahead by announcing new drinks to their summer menu. Apart from this, earlier this month, McDonald's introduced its latest menu with exciting new burgers and other menu items. Among these, were new dips which were introduced by McDonald's especially to celebrate the 40th birthday of the iconic Chicken McNuggets.

The dips have been hugely popular with McDonald's fans, however these were introduced for only a limited time, and now as reported by The Sun, McDonald's is discontinuing two of the dips: Mega Hot Sauce and Garlic Mayo dips.

But fans can find some consolation in the fact that the fast-food giant would be introducing two new dips to replaces these axed favourites.

Reactions of McDonald's fans to the axed menu items

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.
