10 People Tell Us Their Honest Thoughts On The BTS Meal

/><br /> <img data-lazyloaded=

3. Reminder of home

“In general, the McNuggets are my favourite and always a treat for me. Then I tried it and LOVE the chilli sauce that comes with it because it reminded me of Malaysia’s keropok lekor chilli sauce which I have yet to find in Melbourne.”

 

— Instagram User, Emmely, residing in Melbourne

4. Nuggets FTW

“Experience was so-so… ordered for the hype. Thought the sauces would be impressive. Sweet Chili was meh. Cajun tasted more like mustard. Thankfully they included nuggets in there — they should pay the nuggets cos it carried the whole team.”

 

— Instagram User, @thewheatybaker, Singapore

5. Free purple cup

“Just a normal nuggets meal with the word BTS. There’s not even a picture of the band, I could write the word “BTS” on it myself. I bought it for the large coke and the purple coke cup!”

 

— Facebook User, Chris

Bad PR</h2><p>“I would <b>expect it to come with merchandise or something more sustainable</b> for this new pandemic, like different packaging that’s more durable and sustainable, since they are selling the meal at a higher price.</p><p> </p><p>Maybe they can even partner with some charity home to donate the money for help. I’m a branding person and I love how McDonald’s has always been so creative, but this kind of campaign at this time of crisis really doesn’t help much. <b>McDonald’s is giving the impression to the public that they are a selfish brand</b>, from which they have garnered a lot of bad PR, as seen from the comments.”</p><p> </p><p>— Instagram User, Jane</p><p> </p><h2>7. What could have been</h2><p>“Honestly to me, <b>the sauces were good</b> and who can say no to McDonald’s? The only downside I think is the lack of creativity? Calling it the BTS meal is a bit of a stretch especially when you’re paying for two additional sauces. I would have expected something more unique in the BTS meal, like a <b>Cajun chicken burger</b>?”</p><p> </p><p>— Instagram User, Ashley</p><p><img data-lazyloaded=

8. Cajun Sauce was dynamite

“TBH I liked the Cajun dip. It had a rly nice kick to it, like a balance between the curry sauce and the chilli sauce. It was not too spicy and it was not too sweet (like the curry sauce), and it also retained a creaminess. It reminded me a bit of wasabi/honey mustard, more mustardy than wasabi. In comparison, the chilli jam was just sugar town, too sweet.”

 

— Facebook User, Jayne

9. Chilli sauce is love, chilli sauce is life

“I tried it yesterday. The sweet chilli tasted like KFC chilli and the other sauce is ???. I knew it was honey mustard but it was neither honey nor mustard enough, and felt bland. Would just stick to the trusty chilli sauce!”

 

— Telegram User, Jia Jun*

10. Say real, Curry Sauce still #1

“I thought it didn’t really live up to expectations, though it was a pretty interesting attempt at bringing the ‘korean taste’. It was easier warming up to the cajun sauce as compared to the sweet chilli sauce but the Singaporean in me def still prefers the curry sauce??”

 

— Telegram User, Angela*

 

BONUS: 11. Better for lingerie

“I don’t think it’s my concern, really, and I don’t really care for it. I like the BTS bra set (seen on Instagram) though, so funny!”
