McDonald's Hamburglar goes on road trip, offering free merchandise

Shoppers browse merchandise in a shopping mall on Orchard Road

McDonald's Hamburglar mascot is embarking on an exciting adventure, taking his infamous getaway car, the 'Burgercuda,' on a road trip across the country. This mischievous character, known for his love of stealing hamburgers, is attempting the 'ultimate burger-stealing heist.' And the best part? Fans who spot the Burgercuda have a chance to win free merchandise or delicious hamburgers.

Last year, McDonald's made some small changes to their burgers, and it seems that even the Hamburglar couldn't resist the temptation. The fast-food chain has announced that its lovable mascot will be traveling coast-to-coast in a custom 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, spreading excitement and surprises along the way.

If you happen to come across the Burgercuda during its road trip, you're in for a treat. By scanning the vehicle's code, you can receive rewards such as an Arch Card gift card and exclusive Hamburglar-inspired merchandise. These rewards are available for a limited time only, so keep your eyes peeled for this iconic getaway car.

But wait, there's more! Even if the Burgercuda doesn't make an appearance in your city, you still have a chance to win free McDonald's burgers for a whole year. Just visit spothamburglar.com and enter the contest. No purchase is necessary, and the contest is open to individuals who are 16 years and older. Hurry though, as entries close on February 25th at 11:59 p.m. ET. Remember, there is a limit of one entry per person.

Now, let's talk about those changes to the burgers that caught the attention of the mischievous Hamburglar. McDonald's implemented softer sandwich buns, toasted to a golden brown perfection. The burgers now feature perfectly melted cheese and a juicier, caramelized flavor thanks to the addition of white onions while the patties are still on the grill. Additionally, Big Macs will be served with more sauce to enhance the iconic taste.

Tariq Hassan, the Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald's, expressed his excitement about the changes and the Hamburglar's involvement. He stated, 'It's no surprise these changes caught the attention of our biggest burger fan – the Hamburglar. We're excited for fans to join in on the fun as they look for him on his burger-stealing spree. You never know where he'll pop up next.'

Now, let's take a closer look at the Burgercuda itself. This unique vehicle showcases the classic black-and-white stripes, synonymous with the Hamburglar, both inside and outside. With red detailing and the mascot's logo on the headrests, the car exudes a sense of excitement and adventure. But it doesn't stop there – the Burgercuda flaunts bun-like hubcaps, a spare tire designed as a giant cheeseburger, and even a hidden burger warmer tucked away in the center console. This attention to detail truly captures the spirit of the Hamburglar.

So, keep your eyes open and be on the lookout for the Burgercuda as it crisscrosses the country. Spotting this iconic getaway car could earn you fantastic rewards and an opportunity to indulge in some mouthwatering hamburgers. Whether you catch a glimpse of the Burgercuda in person or enter the contest online, McDonald's is offering a chance for fans to be part of the excitement. Don't miss out on this thrilling burger-stealing spree!
