Sydney’s seen its fair share of wild and whacky pop-ups for Vivid – we think this one might take the cake, though. Last night, Sydney Harbour’s beloved Glass Island – which usually ferries party-goers around on weekends – transformed into a floating vault filled with goodies that a swindler reportedly stole from Macca’s locations around the world. 

What are we talking, here? It’s a McDonald’s menu heist. Specialty items from Japan, Canada, the USA and the UK are hitting Australian Macca’s stories, and you can get your hands on them right now. 

What meal items made it to Australia in the Macca’s menu heist?

Nabbed from Japan, there’s the sweet and sticky Teriyaki Chicken Burger, plus crispy Garlic & Black Pepper McNuggets. You’ll need something to dip them into, so check out the sweet and savoury Special Edition GOLD Sauce, all the way from the US. For a real hearty burger, get a taste of the UK’s Philly Cheese Stack. And don’t forget brekkie, Canada-style, with a Benny-Style Bacon ‘N Egg Bagel.

As well as the heist items, the floating vault came complete with a DJ pumping global hits, special Macca’s water taxis to shuttle guests James Bond-style, and duffle bags of ‘loot’ – and it was all about teasing the new O/S goods Aussies can now get their hands on. 

The shipping container disappeared as fast as it popped up, but you can try these goodies from Macca’s stores across Australia now – no passport required.
