    McDonald’s dismisses rumours, says curry sauce will be back

    By Kai Fong | Yahoo! Newsroom – Mon, Nov 14, 2011

    What is McDonald’s without its signature curry sauce?

    Apparently, a big deal to its army of loyal customers.

    “We know many of you have come to love our signature curry sauce, and are sorry that it is temporarily unavailable,” said McDonald’s Singapore in a Facebook post at 12.20pm on Monday.

    “This is due to unforeseen supply issues, and we expect new stocks of curry sauce to arrive from the US by the end of next week,” the status on its official page explained, before apologizing and thanking customers and curry sauce lovers alike for their patience.
     
    There we have it – McDonald’s curry sauce will not be discontinued.

    Complaints from customers first started appearing on the same page last Wednesday, before more began pouring in over the weekend.

    The news spread like wildfire on Facebook and Twitter, triggering fears that customers would never get to savour their all-time favourite dip anymore.

    Two hours later, the post has accumulated over 500 likes, 300 shares and 150 comments on Facebook.
     
    Exclaimed a relieved Facebook user Damien Sim, “Whew! Thought it was gone forever! Thanks for clearing it up!”

    Another, Shahreil Bahkri, echoed the thoughts of many like-minded individuals who found it “no fun eating nuggets without curry sauce”.

    While most were positive, others also requested for the comeback of mayonnaise, tar tar sauce and garlic chilli sauce, among the few mentioned.

    Earlier on, the buzz surrounding the supposed discontinuation of the hot dip had caused chaos among distraught netizens.

    Twitter was ablaze over the weekend, with popular related hashtags #CurrySauce, #McDCurrySauce and #RIPCurrySauce trending at various points.

    An extreme tweet on twitter verse #RIPCurrySauce read “I guess I'm never having McDonalds ever again.”

    “Funny how the only thing which seems to gather the wrath of Singaporeans is when you attempt to deprive them of curry,” mused another.

    Commented Facebook user Hashim Alkaff on McDonald’s Singapore’s wall, “NO CURRY MAN, IS AN ANGRY MAN.”

    Indeed.

      what a big joke. curry sauce supply coming all the way from US. this is a common sauce eaten
      practically everyday here and in neighbouring countries. can't McDonald outsource it to countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. nearer and cheaper. Or perhaps McDonald will tell us the US curry sauce is better. A bigger joke

      "curry sauce to arrive from the US by the end of next week,” Wow! i had no idea that curry sauce came from US. I'm not a McDonald Curry Sauce fan. Sorry, forgive my ignorance.
      But I'm a HUGE fan of our local chicken and fish curry. Awesome !!

      Mc Donalds had alresdy removed the mayonaise, now the curry sauce. In Australia we even have to pay for the chili sauce. Go ahead Mc Donalds, take away the burger as well if that makes you happy!

      Carl's Jr, Mos Burger, Wendy's, Burger King & Fat Boy Burgers are far Tastier. You Don't Need Any Dippin' Sauce to go with them!

      curry is famous in Asia, how come they have to get it from US. You can sample thousand of varieties in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and India. The spices in the curry come from India and Indonesia. What the clown did was to put one of the variety of curry sauces add some preservatives and put them in a disposal containers. Just imagine, wholesome curry sauces with coconut milk can only last 3 hours in the open, those with presevatives may have a 365-day expiry date. Know what you eat.
