McD Curry Sauce Bottles Sold Out in Certain Outlets; People Selling in Carousell for Up to $20 a Bottle

We Singaporeans have a special relationship with McDonald’s curry sauce.

Back in 2011, when the curry sauce went AWOL for one week, people went apeshit. The reason given was due to some supply issue of certain ingredients from the US. Rumours have it that BuffLord95 cried in his room for that entire week.

In fact, do you know that SGAG, Singapore’s pride in funny content, was started indirectly because of McDonald’s curry sauce? The ironic twist is that it seems like McDonald’s is one of SGAG’s repeat clients now.

In any case, since 2012, we can’t anyhowly ask for ten packs of curry sauce when we just buy a six-piece nuggets meal, as it’ll cost $0.30 for any additional pack.

Another panicky moment arrived in 2015 when the sauce disappeared all of a sudden for a whopping four months. BuffLord95 ran out of tears and nearly went to the US to source for whatever ingredient was required.

Since then, we’ve all come to a conclusion: Hello Kitty might be hot, but curry sauce is bae.

Which led to McDonald’s selling their first ever curry sauce bottle for $4.50 a bottle, with 375ml of delicious goodness. Launched in 2016, it was sold out within weeks and I’ve got to admit that I contributed to the statistics.

And on 30 May 2019, the bottle made a comeback…but not for long.

Sold Out In Certain Outlets IN A DAY

According to TODAYonline, they sent a carry-saucer to check out the stocks and the results aren’t that surprising.

The saucer went to six outlets, and four outlets were already sold out.

And mind you, the saucer was out checking on the evening of 30 May 2019; the day that the magical bottles would be sold.

Despite it costing $1 more, it seems like price isn’t an issue after all.

I tried ordering it from my usual McDonald’s outlet (in Bukit Batok) and ta-da: it’s sold out as well.

According to the saucer, the outlets that still stock them are in Yew Tee Point and Shaw House Lido, but that was like two days ago: I bet my boss’ car that they’d be sold out by now.

A McDonald’s spokesperson told the online media that “following its 2016 debut, and also ordered a higher quantity of bottles this time around.”

Well, it seems like it’s still not enough.

And if you die-die need the bottles?

Carousell’s got your back for about $10 to $20 a bottle.
