Apparently steamed buns are no longer available at McDonald's?!?!?!?!

Ok try not to freak out, but some McDonald's chains may no longer be doing steamed buns...

WE KNOW WE AREN'T HAPPY EITHER.

The steamed bun rumours sprouted from a post by Tom Rendall on McDonald's Facebook page:

In 16 hours the post has amassed over 300 distraught comments of concern from steamed-bun-lovers. 

McDonald's recently replied to Tom, making us breathe a sigh of relief with this response:

But Tom's response to that made us fear for the residences of Tauranga:

With no clear word on the mystery we decided to do some investigative research - we sent our ZM intern to McDonald's on Queen Street, Auckland. 

The intern ordered a cheeseburger, Big Mac, Quarter Pounder and Filet O Fish, all with steamed buns. 

AND THEY ALL CAME BACK STEAMED PRAISE THE LORD! 

So we're still no closer to having a clear answer to this whole steamed-bun fiasco, but all we can hope for is for steamed-buns to never leave our lives.
