It's not the only McDonald's dupe on Iceland shelves

MCDONALD’S fans are divided over a new supermarket condiment based on one of the burger chain's iconic dishes.

Iceland is now selling a dish inspired by the flavour of the beloved Double Big Mac burger.

One customer shared a snap of the new Double Mac Coleslaw, on sale in stores and online for £2.25.

Made up of "crisp cabbage with carrot, gherkins and red onion", Iceland said the salad is dressed in an American style sauce. 

The product proved so controversial that it racked up 2,600 comments on Facebook as people debated back and forth over the taste.

One woman said people have "gotta try this", adding that it "looks yummy".

But someone else countered "It tastes awful, the sauce" followed by a vomiting emoji.

A third customer disagreed and said it would be "beautiful in a wrap".

And another happy shopper dubbed it "mouth-watering".

It comes after bargain supermarket Iceland launched a Double Mac Dipping Sauce for just £1.50.

The sauce is a mayonnaise-based dip with tomato ketchup, onion and gherkins just like in a McDonald's Big Mac.

Shoppers seemed to be more excited about the Big Mac sauce, as it proved less divisive online.

One complained: “Always sold out near me.”

Another said: “Sauce heaven".

And a third added: “I wanna try soo bad".

Shoppers have long been fans of Icelands McDonald’s dupes which are 70% cheaper than the originals.

The Snacksters range is like having a takeaway McDonald’s at home for a fraction of the price.

You’ll make the biggest saving on the Iceland Chicken Stack which is £1.80 and nearly 70% cheaper than the original Chicken Big Mac. 

You can also grab the Iceland 20 chicken nuggets which are going for £3.50, these are £2.10 cheaper than the original McDonald’s 20 chicken nuggets. 

If you like the Big Mac you can try the Big Stack which is only £1.80, £3.19 cheaper than its McDonald’s counterpart. 

All of the Iceland Snackster range requires cooking, though most items will be ready within 15 minutes in an oven.

You can store them in the freezer and they can be cooked in an air fryer, though cooking times will differ. 

Remember stock will be limited from store to store and some might not have it for the same price.

It’s still worth looking around in other stores as you may find similar items in other stores.
