Generally onenever wants to describe anything they put into their mouth as a hellish experience. But in this case, thats actually what McDonalds is going for.Thats because their latest movie tie-in food is Nether Flame Sauce, inspired by the Nether dimension of Minecraft and, by extension,A Minecraft Movie starring Jack Black. And what, you might ask, is Nether Flame Sauce? Well, according to the description onMcDonalds websiteit is a limited-edition hot sauce inspired by the Nether with crushed red pepper and flaming cayenne, balanced with hints of garlic and sweetness.Photo By AuthorPhoto By Authorloading...The label, complete with blocky Minecraft lettering, is red.

If a movie has a tie-in food, I must eat it in the name of journalism (and masochism). So this morning I headed over to my local McDonalds, ordered a 20-piece Chicken McNuggets, and returned with my voxel-related prize: A serving of Nether Flame Sauce.You can watch mytastetestbelow:While I generally prefer the decidedly not-spicy (and, frankly, notat all sour) McDonaldsSweet N Sour sauce on my nuggets, I am partial to spicy things in general. And I will say: Iwas surprised by how much I enjoyed the flavor of this hot sauce. Itis spicy, withoutbeing too overwhelming. Even now,several minutes after I finished my Nether Flame Sauce, my mouth is still pleasantly tingly with the lingering heat.I cant say I detected much of the promised hints of garlic and sweetness,but I can also say I didnt necessarily miss them. In fact, ifNether Fire Sauce wasnt just a limited-time menu item themedto a Jason Momoa movie, I would absolutely get it again, and maybe even alternate it with Sweet N Sour in my nugget sauce rotation. For a condiment inspired by an infernal dimension, that feels like a solid win to me.Get our free mobile appA Brief History of Movie Tie-In FoodHow movies fell in love with chain restaurants (and vice versa)...Categories: Longform, Movie News
