This week, Joburg got a little saucier — and no, we’re not just talking about the return of the burger.
McDonald’s® South Africa just dropped the Big Tasty® back into our lives — and this time, it’s not pulling up solo. They’ve teamed up with none other than GALXBOY®, the streetwear brand that’s been running the local fashion game, for a collab that’s equal parts drip and bite.
Yep, food just met fashion, and it’s giving: deliciously disruptive.
The Big Tasty — that juicy, smoky-sauced, double-hand grip burger we all missed — is back for a limited time only. But the real twist? If you order it through the McDonald’s® app, you stand a chance to score exclusive GALXBOY® x McDonald’s® merch. We’re talking custom gear that screams street culture with a side of fries.
And yes, one lucky burger lover will be flying off to Bali for a trip for two — because why should your taste buds have all the fun?
According to GALXBOY® founder Thatiso Dube, this isn’t just about clothes or burgers. It’s about shifting the culture. “Both brands represent ambition, identity, and South African excellence,” he said. And honestly? The collab does exactly that. It’s loud, proudly local, and aimed straight at the heart of Gen Z style.
McDonald’s is also celebrating 30 years in SA, and what better way to mark that than by pairing a fan-favourite burger with one of the country’s most iconic streetwear labels?
