The new sandwich, costing £4.39,
features two crispy Chicken Selects topped
with a spicy jerk sauce, bacon,
pepper jack cheese, onion
and lettuce in a sourdough bun.

The burger's jerk sauce contains
tomato paste, Habanero chilli puree,
caramelised sugar syrup, spices,
garlic, ginger and basil,
according to the McDonald's website.



[The ingredients in a real jerk marinade
are allspice - a dried unripe berry
of the South American native plant
Pimenta dioica - and Scotch bonnet peppers.]

Any of you tried this new £4:39
Jerk?

I mean they have been doing it for years but now people are only coming out the woodwork to complain? Their main issue should be it tastes nothing like Jerk Sauce

Yes its a McD Sauce.

They are probably loving the Free Publicity

I feel like nowadays people want to add prejudice to every issue that they have, it's deeply irritating and it takes people's attention away from real prejudice incidents.

Personally whether the Sauce really tastes like Jerk Sauce or not, McDonald's are just adding a meal to their menu that has Jamaican flavouring on it, imo that's much less offensive than not having it because they perceive it to be "beneath them."

A nice piece of common sense here.
People outside the minority extreme woke bubble can see how ridiculous it all is.

Lol at people thinking "cultural appropriation" is actually a thing, or something to be taken seriously or moaned about.

Anyone can make or sell anything they want, it's fine.

Nothing wrong with appreciating and enjoying things from other places.

Cultural appropriation is a thing, you just don't understand what it is.

This really isn't an example of appropriation but to make out that it doesn't exist is just ignorant.

Is there any point when you obviously find it a joke because you don't believe it exists? You're perfectly entitled to ignorance, it's not down to me to educate you.

If you want an example though, look at the Kardashians, they built their wealth by appropriating both black and gay culture and then often tried to copywrite it as their own afterwards.

they're living trash but why shouldn't they use black or gay "culture" to make money? It doesn't specifically belong to anyone which is why they shouldn't try to copyright it, but no-one else own the rights to it, and if they want to use aspects of it to make money, then good for them.

I remember people pitched a bitchfit because one of the interchangeable Kardashians had dreadlocks or braids or something same with Beiber.

Like I've literally never heard a reason that people shouldn't use things from different cultures. It doesn't stop anyone else from being able to use them.

Using a ridiculous accusation of cultural appropriation as evidence of it "not existing" is like using a bad example of racism as evidence racism doesn't exist.

[Swan]

No one in their right mind would care about this. It's just another gimmick burger, McDonalds does this all the time.

[Strictly Jake]

I want one!

[Elliot]

Yeah ignore the fact how unsustainable their meat sources are or transportation of said meat is or how they underpay their workers, oh no a jerk chicken burger!!!

The perpetual victim society has found it's next fake outrage.

I’m sure McDonald’s have been making this burger for quite a while (or they had one which was very similar because I remember buying it a couple years back) and there was no issue like this surfacing so I’m a bit confused as to why this has come about now?

Eh, people decide to get offended about Fawlty Towers or Gone with the Wind every few years, I guess it's the turn of Mcdonald's to smell the pissy diapers of righteous fury

People could go on about actual worthy causes when it come to McDon's, such as how they contribute to the destruction of rainforests, keep expanding the disgusting meat industry, or even the crappy wages they pay the staff ... but no, what they call a sauce is much worse, apparently.

Wait until they start putting rasta hats with dreads in their happy meals.
