On Tuesday, McDonald’s Central Ohio took to Twitter with the announcement.

We’re testing the Grand Mac & Mac Jr. in #Cbus! Get em’ before they’re gone & #MacItHappen for the rest of America.

Count yourself lucky if you live in Central Ohio or the Dallas/Fort Worth areas, because that’s where McDonald’s will be test marketing the two new Mac hacks until June 6, Columbus Business First reported Tuesday.

According to media reports, the Grand Mac consists of two one-sixth-pound beef patties and features a larger bun. The Grand Mac sells for $4.89. The Mac Jr., which the chain describes as “easier to eat on the go,” is a single-layer Big Mac and sells between $2.39 and $2.59.

Is America ready for a bigger Big Mac and a smaller, portable Big Mac? Only testing will tell. We should know more on the test results before the end of summer.
