OAK BROOK, Ill. – It’s not been long since McDonald’s revealed its new value menu, McPick 2, offering customers the chance to choose from a McChicken, McDouble, mozzarella sticks and small fries for $2, Fox News reports. Now the fast-food chain has jacked the price to $5 but added—for a limited time starting Feb. 29—four of its most popular items: Big Mac, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, Filet-O-Fish and Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

The launch of McPick 2 on Jan. 4 started a value menu war, with Burger King’s 5 for $4, Carl’s Jr.’s Real Deal (four items) for $4, and Wendy’s 4 for $4. “The McPick 2 for $2 offerings were always intended to be a limited-time offer; however, owner/operators are free to offer the menu items they feel their customers will enjoy most at the price they choose,” said Lisa McComb, McDonald's spokeswoman.

“We wanted to thank our guests for providing their feedback as we continue to build a better McDonald’s,” said Chef Jessica Foust, McDonald’s director of culinary innovation, in a press release. “As a thank you and as proof that we will continue to listen, we are making our most iconic menu items available for a limited time at never before seen value.”

While these classics have been discounted before as limited time offers, they have never been offered all together on one value menu. All four menu items originated in the United States, but are now sold in many other countries.
