Australia's spice obsession is real

• Nearly 1 in 3 Aussies (32%) love experimenting with spicy sauces and flavours.
• 21% say they’re easily persuaded to choose the spicier option.
• 16% admit they’re more adventurous with spice when dining out with friends.
• And yes, 20% enjoy watching others squirm through the heat!

But not everyone is a spice master – 58% of Aussies say they’ve got a mate who thinks they can handle the heat… but can’t.

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australiasaid: “With Aussies craving bold, fiery flavours, our new Frank’s RedHot Range truly delivers - adding a hot and unexpected twist to our most-loved chicken items.

“We’ve taken fan favourites - the McCrispy, McSpicy, McWings and McNuggets - to the next level. We're serious about serving flavour-packed food that hits the spot, and we can’t wait to see Aussies put their spice tolerance to the test at Macca’s.”
