McDonald’s Is Reportedly Getting New ‘Big Arch’ Sandwich in 2025

McDonald’s is reportedly adding a new sandwich to its 2025 menu lineup.

According to Cincinnati.com, the Big Arch sandwich, comprised of three slices of white cheese, lettuce, two all-beef patties, and a unique sauce with crispy onions, is being tested in select markets in Canada and across the world. However, it could also be coming to the United States soon.

This summer, the fast-food juggernaut launched the burger in a number of locations, including Germany, Portugal, and Canada. In 2025, McDonald’s intends to expand the Big Arch’s reach after its successful debut.

“We’re encouraged by the results showing the Big Arch has universal appeal with sizable opportunity across markets,” McDonald’s CFO Ian Borden said during an Oct. 29 earnings call, per the outlet. “And thanks to the success of the pilot, we’re accelerating plans and we’ll work with franchisees and partners to deploy the Big Arch faster to more international markets in 2025.”

Depending on the individual, the sandwich’s 1,030 calories comprise around half the daily calories needed. In contrast, the Big Mac has 590 calories.

McDonald’s Orange Juice Class Action Lawsuit

In not-so-happy Mickey D’s news, a recent news report revealed that the fast-food giant is at the center of a class action lawsuit. Its claimants allege that they were charged an extra fee for ordering breakfast combos that included orange juice.

A Santa Monica, California-based litigation firm is defending customers who claim that the fast-food juggernaut deceptively advertises its breakfast combos with images of orange juice for a set price but then charges customers more for the juice. The plaintiffs contend that by adding a “hidden” surcharge, this approach violates consumer protection rules and causes customers to incur unanticipated costs.

In order to make McDonald’s responsible for its pricing and advertising strategies, the lawsuit seeks damages for affected consumers as well as changes to the way the business presents its morning menu.

Customers are supposedly only informed of the additional expenses after they have made their payment and obtained their receipts.

According to the lawsuit, McDonald’s uses misleading advertising to lead customers to believe that orange juice is included in the advertised price. One of the plaintiffs, Amber Meyers, asserts that she had been eating her usual breakfast combination, which consists of a Two Sausage Egg McMuffin meal with orange juice, for nearly a year without realizing that the drink was being charged more.
