Use the touch screen ordering machine and order a 50 cent Bacon jam sauce in the snacks section. Gets put through as a full burger instead of sauce. Tested in few stores all worked. Won't last long.
23/3 4pm: Quite a few users reported that their store has removed the option, however some users are still finding it available see comments.
Yep!
Worked at Kilburn.
Worked for me. Suspense was real. I think it's an interpretation error. Goes through to staffs screen as Bacon Jam but they assume it means the whole burger not the condiment.
We ordered 4 the last time we tested it and we we're sweating bulles haha.
Anyone tried the Vic Market store in VIC? Thanks
Didn't work when I tried last night
Works in Darwin, NT as well. Thanks!
Which one? Territorian here
I wonder if they serve facon jam burger
Worked at Bourke Street maccas. VIC
I can confirm this, just walked out with 2 burgers, fries and drink for 4.05!
Thanks! It worked for me too
To all the people who actually got the burger: why didnt anyone take a (profanity) picture of it?
Thank you!
Mmmm.. Gourmet Creations burger for 50c!
Worked at Cavill Ave Maccas in Surfers.
Yeah still working there :)
Ah got it, then got greedy and manager caught me on the second try.
Did the manager take the buns away?
Rookie mistake.
Thanks for the late night snack. Worked at Victoria parade
voting for sheer ridiculousness of this and to get first poster a 100 vote badge
Why is it ridiculous?
Just bought 5 bacon and jam burgers for $2.5! i also added in some cheap items like apple pie to make it look less obvious! worked like a charm! thanks OP!!!
It works. Kenmore Brisbane. They had no clue.
Went through on the self serve as “Bacon Jam”, came up on the order receipt as “Bacon Jam”, came up on the order screen behind the counter as “Bacon Jam”, came out as f***ing Jam.
Second attempt at another Maccas was an absolute success. Ordered a snack wrap with the order tp draw the attention away.
Free water too 👍
Edit: gross burger.
Can you comment on the taste of the jam itself? Before I give up sweet and sour to try bacon jam, I want to know if it's worth it
It tastes like a jam consistency Kecap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce) with dried bacon bits mixed in.
Sounds like a match for nuggets/chicken patties. Thanks.
Reported for technically not being a "price error" :P
Just worked at Milton Macca's Brisbane, Ty op as I was almost about to just get uber eats
Bacon jam https://imgur.com/gallery/Po0Fu
Po0Fu lol
I love these kinds of tip-offs.
But not enough to give a +1?
50 Cent is not affiliated with McDonalds.
Actually I had to get a second job since the bankruptcy & they were hiring !!
LMAO
Nice!! Haha
Hope you ate them all or gave them to the needy
Don't Broden all the burgers! Hahahahaha
Good effort!
Upvoted in memory of BrodenIt, who hasn't logged in since 18th of March 2018 :'(.
I'm worried an unsold stack of PS3's may have toppled, trapping BrodenIt.
This is very concerning, as BrodenIt would say we should hold hands.
@xev: this is a good idea, we should search for eneloop bargains too or substitute with IKEA eneloop pro's.
Stanmoore got myself 4x bacon jam sauces awesome and even 1 of them had 1spoon full that’s it
It's not working anymore. Been removed from the menu.
damn, should have gotten it last night
Thanks just purchased a few great deal.
Damn hopefully this doesn't get patched before I get to maccas at 10:30am today
Sooooo………
Verdict?
It cost them that much to make the burger anyway. They probably need to get rid of that bacon jam.
Fake Ozbargainer
Here, have a voucher on us:
This entities the bearer to unlimited insults from the OzB community plus a lifetime ban.
Not transferable. You are not redeemable
Wow what a selfish (profanity) you are.
eh but wouldn't implying that to him be adverse to your username :/ it's a bit confusing. Is there a term opposite to "username checks out" I wonder.
Nah, the name isn't "dowhatuwantwithoutanyjudgmentfromothers". Do what you want and live with the consequences like being called a (profanity) when what you want means you are one.
You have brought great dishonour to your family
This user should be banned !!
Maybe they will give you a voucher for a $5 bacon jam burger.
For future. .. just wondering is the ordering kiosks open at night time?
Does this work on the App or does it have to be done in the store on the kiosk?
On the kiosk in store.
Would work on app as well, it’s just taking advantage of untrained crew/crew not reading orders correctly. Hence why it’s worked for some but not others.
I can't see bacon jam sauce in the app
neither can i. :(
Haha can't believe it worked.
Tried at Nunawading store.
Though I did over a couple of the staff say "what's bacon jam?"
Still got the burger. I also ordered a cheeseburger with it to look less suss just in case.
Still works at George St. Sydney CBD.
Did you just order the “bacon jam” alone or did you had other stuff with the order?
Alone.
Great thanks, might try it out a bit later
Just ordered the $0.50 Bacon jam off the kiosk (along with small chips as not to look suspicious) for $2.75.
Received the burger with chips and can confirm it's still working as of the 23rd @ McDonalds Pimpima.
Cheers! I am about to go to the Pimpama maccas soon to see if I can score a few.
I wanted a second round and confirmed it's working at the Upper Coomera BP Maccas at the service station.
Haha beauty! I might double up and head there afterwards.
Just went down and it is still working in Pimpama. Got 3 burgers and a medium chips for $4.40 https://i.imgur.com/FmxPkFC.jpg
Thanks OP, just got 2!
Thanks op, now I'm full, can't make it back into work o.O Sea of Theives time!
Sydney airport Ross Smith Ave, confirmed and working.
Ordered with fries 😀
I wanted to try the Wagyu burger but couldn't pass up this deal!
Lunch sorted.
At the risk of getting negged:
Ozbargainers are happy to take advantage of price error but posts about pirate gaming consoles are removed???
Why not post everything and let the ozbargainer decide.
The two are quite different
Both are indirect forms of theft
For the record I enjoyed a bacon jam for lunch today
Confirmed still working at Queens Parade Clifton Hill VIC
I heard a few murmors behind the counter when it was ready!
Thanks OP
Just tried at Wyoming, couldn’t find the bacon jam on the kiosk. There was a bacon jam Angus in the burgers section though. I ended up with the Wagyu burger to try instead.
You have to go to snacks or sides with the icon image that shows fries and it will have the option in there for sauces.
Seems missing in the app. Lots of sauces but no bacon jam.
But happy to report it's still on the kiosk, and there's lunch sorted.
Yep, unfortunately I was just unlucky at this kiosk and it wasn’t there. I went through all the sauces.
Thanks op, just had 2 Bacon Jam and frozen coke for lunch
Wow it just worked. Cheers OP.
Still working Underwood, QLD!!! Burger and frozen coke for $1.50! Thanks OP!
On the moral front; this is only an issue because they are replacing service jobs with machines. Counter staff would never fall for this.
Tried this at Southbank McDonald's with success.
Still working at Milton QLD! Ordered a chicken n cheese to go with the jam :)
The printed receipt says "bacon jam" but I still received the burger.
As others have commented it's probably just staff misinterpreting the order.
Perhaps price error is a misnomer as it's more of a system error.
Worked at Bourke St Maccas, thanks OP!
